More than 230 drivers, representing over 30 nations, are set to gather at the Cremona Circuit, marking one of the strongest turnouts in recent Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy history.

The 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy officially gets underway this week at the Cremona Circuit. 230 drivers were verified in the opening round of the championship. The event brings together competitors across all five Rotax categories (Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, DD2 and DD2 Masters) marking the first of four rounds that will define the European 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.
