The countdown is over as the 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy prepares to launch its new season at the Cremona Circuit, where 256 drivers are currently entered for the opening event scheduled from March 11 to March 15.

Three weeks earlier in Viterbo, Sodikart and CPB Sport had made a big impact: a one-two finish in the KZ2 Final, with four drivers in the top four places in the provisional championship standings. In Lonato, at South Garda Karting, one of the most demanding tracks of the early season, they confirmed their dominance with a victory and a 3rd place in the Final. Five victories in five races, a title already secured before the final round, and improving results in the Mini category.

Podium finishing F1 Academy driver Aurelia Nobels will move up to the GB3 Championship for the 2026 season, having signed with multiple race winners Hillspeed.

The victories in the penultimate round went to Orlov (KZ2), Manach (OK), Miron (OKJ), Burgess (MINI U10), Frigerio (MINI Gr.3), and Perico (OK-NJ).

After a total of 44 qualifying heats, Van Walstijn (KZ2), Calleja (OK), Miron Lorente (OKJ), Perico (OK-NJ), El Gahoudi (MINI Gr.3), and Wolff (MINI U10) are on top.
