Heading into Greece would have felt like stepping into the unknown for much of the Champions of the Future Academy Program field as Round 2 arrived on the calendar. Hidden in the Greek hills near Thessaloniki, Circuit 27 made its debut as host of the second round of the season. The brand-new venue welcomed OK-N Junior, OK-N Senior and Mini 60 competitors across two days of racing, producing new championship leaders, podium finishers and memorable moments throughout the weekend.

The Champions of the Future Academy Program completed its first-ever visit to Greece with another dramatic day of racing at Circuit 27, as Sunday brought fresh winners, last-lap drama and a spectacular conclusion to Round 2.

The 2026 International Series roared into life with packed grids across Mini 60, OK-N Junior and OK-N Senior. A strong mix of returning contenders and several new names immediately raised the level of competition. After sunny preparation days, race day brought changing conditions, with clouds rolling in and a short drizzle during the Mini 60 Final. The light rain slightly slowed lap times but did little to disrupt the intensity on track.

In the United Arab Emirates, numerous drivers took part in the fifth and penultimate round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program, confirming the success of the series and its "arrive and drive" concept. The objective of complete sporting fairness was once again achieved, allowing drivers to make their mark in a high-level competition, organised with rigour and professionalism by RGMMC.
