As the peak of the racing season draws upon us, so does the most high pressure part of the IAME Euro Series and the conclusion of the series' 10th year. With one event left on the four-part calendar, all eyes turn to Genk, located in the Limburg Region of Flanders, Belgium, and also known as the Home of Champions.
1360m in length, boasting 12 turns in a clockwise direction and a maximum width of 10 metres, it invites the most ambitious of overtakes, known to catch out even some of the most experienced drivers.
In previous years, even the most famed, like Max Verstappen, have become champions of this talent breeding ground, and now three more will be found in a week set to seek winners on the soil laid in 1983 by Paul Lemmens and handed over to MP Motorsport in 2025.
From the Aragon region in Spain, where Mini drivers Ilyas Sami and Chester Forkes drag raced to the line, to the historic region of Brescia, where 2025 IWF winner Max Endacott conquered the Junior X30 class, to the heat of Wackersdorf, where Danny Carenini didn't let the heat put him off, it all comes down to this.
X30 Mini: Who fills House's shoes
Ilyas Sami, Chester Forkes and Mayson Hibbert are the three names to have taken final wins across the previous three events. All three have, at stages in the season, looked like they could be the name to fill the shoes left behind at the end of 2025 by countryman George House. With all three taking a 50 point score during a final at some stage in the season, they now continue the battle going into the fourth and final event, as there are only 46 points between Forkes in the standings lead and Hibbert in P3. Other drivers like Alfie Davidson and Bodhi Batch could look to fight their way into the top 3 throughout the week, but the battle for the lead predominantly exists between Chester, Ilyas and Mayson.
X30 Junior: A possibility to become a Euro Series and Warrior Final winner
For Max Endacott, currently leading the standings, the goal is clear: become a Euro Series winner directly after becoming IAME Warrior Final winner. Despite a clear goal, the challenge is on, with Spain's Ivan Gonzalez sitting only 4 points behind. Lurking in the background with a deficit of 41 points to Endacott is also Teo Policand, looking to be the highest points scoring French driver across all categories.
Senior X30: A title to defend
In 2025, Aaron Garcia claimed the title in the Senior category in a very similar setup to the existing standings. Going into the last event in 2025, which was also in Belgium, Danny Carenini and Aaron Garcia were the main challengers, and this year it is the same scenario. With a difference of 19 points between the two, the defence of the title for Garcia will be strong, because X30 Senior always shows us a racing style that provides unpredictability. These are not the only two names to be involved, however, since Dan Allemann also sits inside the current top 3, helped by his best final result of a top 3 in the Final at the opening event in Zuera.
Three new winners will be confirmed this week, with one of those potentially being a back to back titleholder. Genk, the Home of Champions, will host this, the crowning of three new victors.
Follow from the very first moment of competition with live timing on Wednesday for free practice, Thursday for qualifying and then the early stage qualifying heats. Friday will deliver entertainment as the entire day of qualifying heats will be streamed live, before our victors are found on Saturday with super heats and Finals confirming the results.
The end of the season is almost upon us, but there's still time for you to be there.
