Following their excellent results in the FIA Karting European Championship in the Shifter categories, Sodi chassis continued their haul of success on the Portimao circuit in southern Portugal. Anthony Abbasse, who dominated the KZ2 Masters, won the Champions of the Future Shifter 2024 title.

For four days, the Algarve International Karting Circuit in Portimao vibrated to the rhythm of the KZ, KZ2 and KZ Master karts at a meeting eagerly awaited by competitors. The drivers and teams were able to work in a variety of weather conditions, gathering a wealth of data and gaining a much better understanding of the Portimao track. Many of the drivers were taking part in a Champions of the Future event for the first time and appreciated the professionalism of the organisation put in place by RGMMC. On a warm and sunny day of southern Portugal, Frenchman Jérémy Iglesias won the KZ class, Romanian Daniel Vasile won the KZ2 class and Frenchman Anthony Abbasse dominated the KZ Master class.

The DKM entourage once again travelled to the Arena E in Mülsen for the fifth event and experienced a highly exciting weekend. The German Kart Championship was already a guest at the 1,315 metre-long Arena E in Mülsen for the season opener. 186 drivers took on the midsummer temperatures. A preliminary title decision was possible in several classes, but some favourites faltered.

The German Kart Championship returns to the Arena E in Mülsen for the penultimate round. The drivers were already guests at the race track near Zwickau at the start of the season. A lot has happened since then, and preliminary decisions in the title fight could be made in several classes.

At the weekend, 181 drivers travelled to Kerpen for the start of the second half of the DKM season. Mülsen, Ampfing and Wackersdorf were the first three stops of the German Kart Championship. Now the second half of the season started in Kerpen.

After a brief summer break, the action now comes thick and fast in the German Kart Championship, with two events in the next four weeks. The world-famous Erftlandring in Kerpen hosts the next round of races. The 1,107-kilometre racetrack became recognised around the world thanks to seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher. It was in Kerpen that he cut his teeth on the motorsport scene. He was followed by his brother Ralf and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel, who also began their careers in Kerpen.

Kerpen welcomes the German Kart Championship. 199 competitors line up at the Erftlandring. Second half of season gets underway in North Rhine-Westphalia.

It is half-time in the German Kart Championship. The third of this season’s six events took place at Pro Kart Raceland in Wackersdorf. 221 drivers made it a record field and put on an impressive show for the large crowds. The finals produced new winners in three classes: Markus Kajak (DKM), Dion van Werven (DSKC) and Zdenek Babicek (DMKM) claimed their first win of the season. Moritz Groneck (DJKM), Lars Ramaer (X30 Junior) and Elia Weiss (X30 Senior), on the other hand, repeated their success from Ampfing.

Excellent conditions for round two of the German Kart Championship. More than 190 competitors start in Ampfing. Half and half: New and old winners in the six classes.

Arena E in Mülsen welcomes 187 drivers. Unsettled weather makes for extra excitement on Saturday. Wins for newcomers and established drivers.

And once again, another Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals comes to a close here, amidst the sands of the Persian Gulf in 2023, with the intense competition front and centre, with the drivers that had made it to Finals Day being the stars of the show and treating everyone to great racing.

Welcome back to the Bahrain International Karting Circuit, where the sun-drenched second racing day. Today the weather graced us with a lot of sunshine, tempting some to relax at the beach recharging before the adrenaline-fueled action commenced when the track opened at 13:00 AST.

How to finish a race! Dutch karter Dion van Werven celebrates his victory after dominating in the Rotax Max Senior class: a multi-360 donut at Karting Genk.

We look back at yesterday, when the 2022 RMC Grand Finals were truly opened via the Welcome Briefing in the morning. 394 drivers received their brand new karts through the customary raffle on the main start-finish straight underneath the beautifully sunlit Portuguese skyline. Along with that, drivers would also head to the nearby Autodromo Internacional do Algarve for the mandatory briefings that afternoon, with the paddock tent being a busy hive of activity all day long as the brand-new karts would be prepared fully, with every nut and bolt tightened and fastened.

The Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Golden Trophy took place once again last weekend at Karting Genk in Belgium. 181 competitors from 26 nations dueled at the demanding ‘Home of Champions’ and delivered exciting racing in the alternating weather conditions. In the evening, five class winners were celebrated on the podium. In addition, three drivers were awarded their tickets for the upcoming RMC Grand Finals in Portimao, Portugal, at the last moment.
