The Rotax MAX Challenge International Trophy Le Mans has delivered another exciting week of highly competitive racing in France from July 13-18. The European edition of the RMCIT now leads in attendance on the Rotax Racing calendar, where competitors use their own or team-supplied equipment. Surpassed only by the RMC Grand Finals in entries, the worldwide interest still grows after eight years.

In excellent weather conditions, the superb organisation by 3MK Events, in collaboration with BRP-Rotax, enabled the 370 drivers from 47 nations across five continents competing in the 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge International Trophy to take part in an intense and spectacular competition at the Le Mans circuit.

The 8th edition of the Rotax Max Challenge International Trophy is taking place at Le Mans in the midst of a heatwave. In response to a request from the authorities in the Sarthe department, 3MK Events has adjusted the schedule for the first three days of the competition. To prevent drivers from racing during the hottest part of the day, the qualifying sessions originally scheduled for Wednesday from 2.50 pm have been moved to the evening, starting at 9.20 pm.

On the final day of IWF25, the sun shone down on the Kartodromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero and temperatures rose above 20°C. On the track, it was even hotter, with breathtaking races in all categories. The Finals were full of incredible suspense, and often the winner was not decided until the last lap, or even the last corner. With flawless organisation, the IAME Warriors Final confirmed its status as a world-class event.
