The most important event of the season for the Shifter categories, the FIA Karting World Championships for KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters, takes place this week, from 17 to 20 September at the Le Mans circuit in France. Located in the Loire region and world-famous for the circuit that hosts the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, the city will become the capital of international karting as the most prestigious titles of the year in the three KZ categories are decided.

A significant part of the 2026 season is already behind us, but the most important chapter is still to come. The FIA European Championship, Champions of the Future and the majority of the WSK events have now been completed after a busy first half of the year.

KR Motorsport and the teams representing Kart Republic have no shortage of future champions in their ranks! The sensational results from the series organised by RGMMC have clearly demonstrated this. At the fifth and final round in Sarno, Daniel Miron Lorente (Fusion Motorsport) and Will Green (KR Motorsport) secured a one-two finish for the KR-IAME karts in the OK-Junior class.

After Friday’s qualifying heats raised the stakes, Saturday delivered the deciding chapter of the 2026 Champions of the Future Euro Series at Circuito Internazionale Napoli. Under sunny skies and in warm, dry conditions, the Super Heats offered one final opportunity to shape the grids before a season of racing came down to the Finals. Daniel Miron Lorente and Noah Baglin rose to the occasion, closing their campaigns with race victories and championship honours as Sarno brought the season to its conclusion.

Summer break is officially over, and the Champions of the Future Euro Series is back on track for Round 5 at Sarno. OK and OK Junior return to action in Italy with everything still to play for as we head into the closing stages of the 2026 season.

After Thursday’s qualifying established the first order at Sarno, Friday put that pace to the test in wheel-to-wheel racing. Twelve qualifying heats in warm, dry conditions at Circuito Internazionale Napoli brought decisive victories, costly setbacks and spectacular finishes, with little room for error at the final round of the 2026 Champions of the Future Euro Series. Some strengthened their position, others were left chasing a recovery, and the stakes climbed with every race as the season’s deciding day drew closer.

From the medieval city walls of Otranto, Italy, to Valencian orange groves, to Germany's automotive home of Zwickau, and then to one of Sweden's oldest cities, Kristianstad, the Champions of the Future series has ticked off many corners of Europe in 2026. Now, it is set to complete one more.

Saturday had left Aspar with unfinished business. Axel Nocom and Angelina Simons Torres had controlled their respective qualifying programmes without converting them into Final victories, while Mayson Hibbert had completed the opening day unbeaten. Sunday offered one final opportunity to master the unfamiliar circuit and another full day of closely fought racing in the Spanish heat.

The unfamiliar 1,647-metre circuit provided exactly the test expected of it. Drivers faced intense heat, tightly packed racing and drama as the penultimate round of the 2026 Champions of the Future Academy Program International Series began at the Aspar Circuit.

There's been a trend within the Champions Of The Future Academy Program in 2026: sending drivers to new, uncharted terrain to test their ability to learn and adapt, and this weekend continues that trend. This week we visit the third circuit on the calendar to make its debut in the series, heading to Aspar, just a stone's throw from the series-opening circuit, Kartódromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero.

Whilst Senna van Walstijn claimed a commanding victory in the KZ class at the Le Mans Karting Grand Prix, ably supported on the podium by Matheus Morgatto and Anthony Abbasse, young Cees Muijs secured the very first podium finish for the Sodi Mini chassis on the international stage at Franciacorta.
