Six champions, last-lap drama and fiercely contested podiums: the 2026 IAME Warriors Final delivered all the excitement that has made it a highlight of the international karting calendar. At Viterbo’s Leopard circuit, every category produced compelling racing, showcasing the performance and competitive spirit of IAME engines. Favourable weather ensured that all six Finals unfolded on a dry track, while IAME, RGMMC and the circuit team delivered an event worthy of the occasion. From Wednesday’s vibrant drivers’ presentation to Saturday’s decisive races, IWF26 lived up to its promise.

Since its creation, the IWF has continually produced top-level finals, bringing together drivers from all over the world on IAME-powered karts that have been proving their worth for many years. Held in Zuera, Spain, the 2024 edition of the IAME Warrior Final crowned four talented drivers after epic duels: Many Nuvolini in X30 Mini, Kenzo Craigie in X30 Junior, Eduardo Dominguez Espinosa in X30 Senior and John Norris in X30 Master.

Go-kart driver Anthony Bongartz had a great weekend at the Genk circuit during the second round of the GK4 Kart Series. The 14-year-old racer from the Belgian town of Amel showed his racing skills and scored a resounding P2 in the IAME X30 Junior category.  

Anthony Bongartz secured his first win of the season to win the final of the Dutch IAME Championship at the Circuit Karting des Fagnes in Mariembourg. The 14-year-old Belgian karting talent from Amel (20 minutes from the famous F1-circuit of Spa-Francorchamps) finished in the first position in the IAME X30 Junior class, marking the beginning of the new karting season with a kickstart. The Thierry Delre Karting driver reflects on a fantastic start to a busy season.

The Warriors who qualified for the eleventh edition of the IWF23 put on an absolutely incredible show over four days of competition on the Algarve circuit in Portimao. IAME Motorsport confirmed the success of its organisations throughout the world, which ended in apotheosis with this very high-level final. In the south of Portugal, Khali Atkins in the X30 Senior class, Harry Bartle in the X30 Junior class, Will Green in the X30 Mini class and Viktor Öberg in the X30 Master class were crowned after some thrilling races, in what turned out to be very pleasant weather at the end of October.
