The ADAC Kart Masters will return to the German karting calendar in 2026. With the opening of registration, the official starting signal has now been given for the comeback season of this long-established racing series. The championship is clearly positioned as a national link between the ADAC regional karting series and the German Kart Championship (DKM), offering an attractive platform at a high sporting level for both young talents and experienced competitors. Registration is now open at adac.de/motorsport.

On the last weekend of January, Offenbach am Main in Germany was once again the centre of the karting world. The classic IKA Kartmesse trade fair hosted the world's largest kart exhibition for the 28th time, although in this new decade, the exhibition presented itself on a slightly smaller scale than in previous years. For the first time, the fair only opened six instead of seven halls.

With O'Neill competing for the ADAC Kart Masters title in the X30 Senior category in Wackersdorf and Esteban making his GT3 debut in the highly prestigious Blancpain GT Series in Barcelona, the Muth family was torn apart last week. But the German crown for the youngest and a more than convincing performance for the oldest turned this last weekend of September into an indelible memory for them all!

Kas Haverkort (15) has made the switch to Tony Kart over the last weekend and celebrated a double finals victory in his race debut at the ADAC Kart Masters in Germany. The Team NL talent will complete the rest of the 2019 season on the Tony Kart brand in combination with Vortex engines. The young karter from Heemserveen will race for Kartshop Ampfing / OTK factory from Italy. The first event on the program in the new outfit was the German ADAC Kart Masters at the Kerpen circuit over the weekend, with victory for Kas. Now, the focus is on the World Karting Championship in Finland in the OK class and followed by the KZ2 World Cup in Lonato.

Maranello Kart lived a bitter-sweet racing weekend in Sarno at the third round of the Italian ACI Karting Championship. Francesco Iacovacci has always been among the quickest at the International Circuit Napoli over the weekend. Iacovacci claimed a great P4 in KZ2’s race-1, but an incident in race-2 slowed his title quest down and now he is third at only 27 points from the leader. Great double win for Trefilovs and SRP Racing Team in KZ2 at the Adac Kart Masters in Oschersleben. 

KÜS Team75 Bernhard will be fielding two brand-new Porsche 911 GT3 Rs in the 2019 ADAC GT Masters and also intensifying their youth policy. They will be extending the scope of their activities to karting this year with the entry of the new Junior Team75 in the ADAC Kart Masters.
