The Rotax Max Challenge 2025 Grand Final offered the karting world yet another demonstration of mastery and innovation. Hosted in the unique atmosphere of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the event benefited from an exceptional circuit and unparalleled organisation. At the Bahrain International Karting Circuit, a premium setting designed for performance, spectacle and excitement were on the agenda at every session.

For its 25th edition, the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals returns to the Bahrain International Circuit Karting, which it has visited twice in the past. The Kingdom of Bahrain will host the premier global Rotax event from 29th November to 6th December 2025.
 

The 24 Hours Spa Karting is returning! Although the 2025 edition could not take place, organiser One Day Karting has decided to make up for it in 2026 with two events: one with a Sodikart fleet on 13 and 14 June, followed by a second with the traditional Biz Le Mans Twins on 5 and 6 September. Each with their own unique characteristics, these two events complement each other and both promise to be exciting and international.

Following their success in the FIA Karting European Championships and WSK, Sodi chassis have just been crowned Champions of the Future Shifter in both the KZ and KZ2 categories. With one week to go before the World Championship, Senna Van Walstijn made a strong impression in KZ against tough competition on the Italian circuit of Franciacorta, winning the overall series classification ahead of his team-mate Jean Nomblot.

A new category will be added to the SWS from 2026. This is a high-performance racing category designed to meet the evolving needs of the two-stroke driver community. The R-Sprint Cup will begin on 1st January 2026 in the SWS rankings and will have its international Final in 2027.
