The 2025 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy wrapped up its season at one of karting’s most revered venues: the Circuito Internazionale Napoli in Sarno, Italy. With Grand Finals tickets on the line and titles to be decided across five categories, the southern Italian circuit delivered a championship finale to remember.

The Saturday of heats at the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy has shaped the overall rankings after heats. Leading their respective categories are Emerson Macandrew-Uren (Mini MAX), Bran Vanderveken (Junior MAX), Tino Sidler (Senior MAX), Sem Knopjes (DD2) and Nicolas Picot (DD2 Masters).

In increasingly hot weather, the 343 drivers competing in the 2025 Rotax MAX Challenge International Trophy contested 36 Qualifying Heats before tackling the Super Heats on Saturday morning to select the finalists in the six categories who will compete on the afternoon of Saturday 19th July at Le Mans.

After familiarising themselves with the Le Mans International Circuit during Free Practice, the 343 participants in the 2025 Rotax Max Challenge International Trophy competed with great energy during Qualifying on Thursday morning on a dry track under partly cloudy skies. Ava Lawrence (UAE) in Micro Max, Emerson Macandrew-Uren (GBR) in Mini Max, Eva Morris (GBR) in Junior Max, Simon Périgny (FRA) in Senior Max, Sem Knopjes (NLD) in DD2 Max and Gabriel Zughella (ARG) in DD2 Max Masters took pole positions in this 7th edition.
