Munich. The Road to DTM youth development program will be realigned within the German Kart Championship (DKM) for the 2026 season. Going forward, the program will be fully anchored in the OK-N category. As a result, the champion of this class will receive the entry fee for the BMW M2 Cup or ADAC GT4 Germany in the following season, providing a clear opportunity to take the next step toward professional motorsport.

The anniversary season of the Rotax MAX Challenge Germany is now history. Germany’s most popular single-brand kart racing series crowned its champions and Grand Finals qualifiers for the 25th time last weekend (October 11/12, 2025). 110 drivers faced off in the final showdown under autumn conditions on the fast Arena E circuit in Saxony, delivering thrilling and spectacular races...

The German Kart Championship (DKM) will include five race weekends in the upcoming year, combining traditional tracks in Germany with a special highlight abroad. For the first time ever, Germany’s premier kart racing series will make a stop in Cheb, Czech Republic. The season opener will take place from May 1 to 3 in Saxony: the new season kicks off at Arena E in Mülsen – as tradition dictates, the DKM will conclude at ProKart Raceland in Wackersdorf. The decisive races of the 2026 season will be held there from September 25 to 27. A new class structure will also be introduced: alongside the Mini and Shifter Kart (KZ2) categories, the OK-N Junior and OK-N classes will be added for the first time.

The second round of the German Kart Championship season in Mülsen had a lot to offer. While Markus Kajak (DKM), Milan Rossi (DJKM), Jayden Thien (DSKC), Devin Titz (DMKM), Bruno Greiling (X30 Junior) and Aaron Garcia Lopez (X30 Senior) won their finals, changing weather conditions on Sunday made for exciting racing. 210 drivers travelled to Saxony and battled for more championship points on the 1,315-metre Arena E race track.

The German Kart Championship returns to familiar territory. The 1.315-metre Arena E in Mülsen will host the second race weekend from 30 May to 1 June. With over 200 drivers in six classes, the paddock will be full. For the second round, the top German karting series is taking it up a notch and is expecting 215 entrants in Mülsen.
