After a week of sunshine in Zuera, forecasts suggested a wet finale for the opening round of the 2026 IAME Euro Series. The rain, however, only appeared before the morning warm-up, but the decisive day remained mostly dry under cloudy skies. As the programme moved into the Superheats and Finals, strong winds began sweeping across the circuit, catching several drivers out and adding another challenge to an already tense final day of racing.

Another warm day with sunny skies and light clouds greeted the drivers at the Circuito Internacional de Zuera as the 2026 IAME Euro Series season officially moved into racing action. With timed qualifying completed on Thursday, and a full schedule of qualifying heats throughout the day, the grids across Mini, Junior and Senior began to take shape ahead of Saturday’s Superheats and Finals.

The 2026 IAME Euro Series officially began today at the Circuito Internacional de Zuera near Zaragoza in Spain’s Aragón region. Under sunny skies, drivers completed their final free practice sessions before heading into timed qualifying on the fast 1699-metre circuit, known for its long straight lines and strong slipstream effect. The first competitive session of the season immediately delivered tight margins across all categories.

In the last round of the series, in Kristianstad (Sweden), their Tony Kart Racer 401 T chassis won the bronze medal in the OKJ category of the championship, thanks to the results achieved by Ilie Tristan Crisan during the season.

On the occasion of the fourth round of the FIA Karting European Championship in Rødby (Denmark), their Racer 401 T, in the “Junior” category, takes the pole position with Mateo Rivals and wins in the final with Ilie Tristan Crisan.

On the Spanish circuit of Campillos, the Racer 401 T is fast and competitive in both categories. After the strong performances shown throughout the weekend, in the two finals the Racing Team down not gain the results within its reach.

On the occasion of the third round of the WSK Super Master Series, the Tony Kart Racer 401 T chassis sets the best chrono time in OKJ qualifyings with Ilie Tristan Crisan, third place in Sunday afternoon's final.

Known for historically providing unpredictable weather and great racing, once again the “Home of Champions” karting track of Genk did not disappoint. With almost 200 of the best IAME teams and drivers taking the challenge in the three categories, it was once again demonstrated that the series is rightfully renowned for its high level of participants.
