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.

Friday marked the first full competitive day of the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy at the Prokart Raceland Wackersdorf, with eight qualifying sessions crowning the pole sitters across the five categories, followed by 12 heats that officially opened the second phase of the weekend ahead of Sunday’s Finals.

The 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy officially got underway at the Cremona Circuit, hosting the opening round of the championship. With 227 verified drivers competing across the five Rotax categories - Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, DD2 and DD2 Masters - the event confirmed the strong appeal of the series and set the tone for the four-round European season.
