This past weekend Matt Ostiguy, a PSL SoCal driver competed in his first races of the season in the official United States Rotax Max Challenge (USRMC) series for Southern California with the Tri-C Karters at the CalSpeed Kart Track – Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA.
Matt won in the Rotax DD2 class and finished in 3rd place in the Rotax Senior class scoring two podium finishes in his first official USRMC races of the season.
“I was really looking forward to getting back in the DD2 kart! I haven’t driven it since the Gatorz Challenge of the Americas at the Musselman Honda Circuit in Tucson, Arizona, at the end of January. I was battling for the win today with the same driver that I finished behind all weekend back in January in Tucson. It was great to find the speed today for the win in the DD2 finally!” Matt said. “I didn’t have the same speed in the Rotax Senior, but I was in the right place at the right time to finish on the podium!”
Early in the year, GATORZ Vizion announced their 2012 sponsorship of Matt Ostiguy, the champion open wheel kart racer (2010 and 2009 Gatorz Eyewear Golden State Karting Cup DD2 Rotax Champion and the 2008 and 2007 Los Angeles Karting Championship Series Senior Rotax Vice-Champion). In 2011, Matt Ostiguy also had his car racing debut in an LMP - Le Mans Prototype Radical sports car at the world famous Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California with JBR Motorsports.
