The second and final day of non-qualifying practice at the 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals brought changing weather conditions, fresh names at the top of the timesheets and an unexpected turn in the event schedule. Rain made driving conditions increasingly challenging at the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve, giving the 424 registered competitors across nine categories an opportunity to demonstrate their adaptability before the decisive racing days.

The engines are running, the paddock is buzzing, and the action has finally begun! Following an exciting opening weekend, the 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals officially kicked off its on-track programme today with the first Non-Qualifying Practice sessions at the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão.

Round 3 of the 2026 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy concluded today at Karting Genk: The Home of Champions, after an action-packed Finals Day. Although temperatures were slightly cooler than in the previous days, the intensity on track rose immediately, with 14 races delivering close battles and several decisive moments across the seven categories.
