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.

It was a great start of the season for the ROK Cup Italy at the Franciacorta Karting Track in Castrezzato (BS), with an extraordinary number of entrants among the six categories on track. At the end of Sunday, the following leaders of the championship emerged: Achille Rea (Mini ROK), Sbardellati Federico (Junior ROK), Giudice Andrea (Senior ROK), Sorbello Andrea (Expert ROK), Pozzi Brando (Super ROK) and Rigodanza Riccardo (Shifter ROK).
