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.

Max Verstappen’s 100 challengers in Red Bull’s ‘Max vs 100’ got to grips with the track, karts and race rules today, ahead of qualifying tomorrow and the livestream from 17:00 BST on Disney+ and the ESPN App.

The fourth and final round of the 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy concluded at the Steel Ring in Trinec, Czech Republic, where 172 drivers gathered for the season-deciding weekend that swung from torrential rain to bright sunshine and delivered a dramatic finale from the first lap to the last.

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.
