Around 150 drivers headed to the "Home Of Champions" in the first weekend of March, representing 16 different nations, to battle against the very best in Rotax racing circles, with six different classes in action.

Motorsport UK, the British Kart Championships and all associated stakeholders have collectively agreed to postpone the start of the 2020 season until 1 May at the earliest.

It is with great regret that Rotax Max South Africa have been forced to postpone the first national of 2020 due to the Corona Virus restrictions.

Karting Australia, International Karting Distributors and the Go-Kart Club of Victoria advises that the opening round of the 2020 Rotax Pro Tour, scheduled for this weekend (March 21/22), has been postponed.

Now it´s even easier to sign up for the DEKM championship - just contact your local distributor and they will be happy to assist!

With the growing coronavirus pandemic causing relevant governments to put precautions into place, promoters Camp Company GmbH and MW Race Consulting have opted to amend their calendar as follows for the 2020 season.

The 1st real test after the short winter period took place at the Karting Genk circuit: Home of Champions.  Who already qualifies for Le Mans now? In each class they give away a participation ticket (worth the registration fee). That is the rule rather than the exception for the BNL Karting Series.
