The German Kart Championship (DKM) brought its 2026 season to a close at ProKart Raceland Wackersdorf with thrilling Finals, five new champions and a fantastic atmosphere. A total of 178 drivers competed across the five classes at the season finale. Excellent weather on both race days, numerous spectators and a great atmosphere around the 1,190-metre circuit provided a fitting setting for the final race weekend of the year.

On the last weekend of January, Offenbach am Main in Germany was once again the centre of the karting world. The classic IKA Kartmesse trade fair hosted the world's largest kart exhibition for the 28th time, although in this new decade, the exhibition presented itself on a slightly smaller scale than in previous years. For the first time, the fair only opened six instead of seven halls.
