Saturday at the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy in Cremona Circuit was entirely dedicated to the qualifying heats, which determined the starting grids for tomorrow’s Prefinals.

The 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy got underway today at the Cremona Circuit, with the opening qualifying sessions and the first heats delivering closely contested action across all categories.

The 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Winter Cup has officially taken shape at KartCenter Campillos, with 135 drivers successfully verified for the opening event of the new season.

Qualifying Practice, Heat Races, and Pre-Finals are now in the books, and the only session that remains of any importance is the Finals on Saturday. With RMC Grand National Championship titles on the line, one of the best days of the year in all of karting happens tomorrow.

As the track action heated up throughout the day, times dropped as a total of five Non-Qualifying Practice sessions have now concluded for each category. Tomorrow brings a new day, a single Non-Qualifying Practice for each driver before Qualifying Practice sets the grids for the first wheel-to-wheel action of the week. With no delay, Heat 1 for all classes will round out Wednesday's on-track competition, as drivers look forward to the chance to become a Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals Champion later in the week.
