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.

In a blink of an eye, the next round approaches, this time in the province of Brescia, famous for its world-renowned sparkling wine region and, in the karting world, the Franciacorta Karting Track.

The 2026 IAME Euro Series begins this week at the Circuito Internacional de Zuera in Spain. From 11–14 March, drivers will take on the 1699-metre circuit near Zaragoza as the battle for the X30 Euro titles officially gets underway.

Qualifying heats on the day of the 2026 IAME Winter Cup at Kartodromo Lucas Guerrero in Valencia saw changing weather play a major role in the day’s action. Winds reaching 90kph, combined with sudden rain showers, created challenging track conditions for all 213 drivers.

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.
