The 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy moves on to Prokart Raceland Wackersdorf for Round 2 with over 200 drivers. Representing more than 30 nations, the grid once again confirms the strong international appeal of the championship as it heads to one of Germany’s most established karting venues. All five Rotax categories will be on track - Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, DD2 and DD2 Masters - with the Mini MAX class once again awarding a ticket to the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals.

The German Kart Championship (DKM) kicks off its 2026 season this coming weekend at Arena E in Mülsen. With a new class structure, a highly international field, and a total of 158 drivers, the season opener promises top-level racing. The 1,315-meter circuit is one of the most modern kart tracks in Germany and is known for its long straights, which regularly produce thrilling slipstream battles and numerous overtaking maneuvers.

Saturday at the Prokart Raceland Wackersdorf was entirely dedicated to the qualifying heats of Round 2 of the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy. A total of 21 races were completed across the five categories — Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, DD2 and DD2 Masters — defining the grids for tomorrow’s decisive Prefinals and Finals.

After four demanding days in Valencia, Round 2 of the series reached its climax with Finals that perfectly reflected the intensity of the weekend. From dry running to changing conditions, from tightly contested heats to decisive Superheats, every phase built toward Sunday’s showdowns. By the time the grids formed, margins were already minimal — and with early title momentum on the line, the Finals carried added weight, not just for race victories, but for the direction of the title fights after two rounds.

The opening two rounds of the 2026 Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge were held over the April 24-26 weekend at K1 Circuit. The Winchester, California facility welcomed the SKUSA regional program for rounds one and two of action to begin the six-round championship schedule. A total of 11 categories began the title chase for the 2026 season with five drivers able to leave the opening weekend with two wins toward their point total.
