Karting has always been the proving ground of motorsport. It is where raw talent first reveals itself. But talent is only meaningful if it is exposed properly.

The 2026 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour is set to begin in one month, traveling to the Musselman Honda Circuit over the weekend of March 27-29 for the 2026 SKUSA WinterNationals. It will be the third trip to the Tucson, Arizona facility, marking the first time returning since it hosted the 2013 SKUSA SpringNationals.

In Italy, the end of January marked the start of the new season for KR Motorsport and WSK Promotion, with the opening of the Super Master Series at the World Circuit La Conca. With a total of six podium finishes, the KR chassis proved that it remains a major force on the international scene. Several teams that chose the Italian equipment produced in Veneto were also delighted with the high performance of the new IAME engines.

The international karting community was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of six-time World Champion Mike Wilson, who died on 5 January 2026 at the age of 66. With his passing, kartsport has lost not only one of its most accomplished competitors but also a true ambassador whose influence shaped karting for more than four decades.

After racking up victories at the opening round of the WSK Final Cup in Franciacorta, Kart Republic continued its winning streak over the next two weeks. First at the major international IAME brand cup event, the IWF in Valencia, with two triple wins in the main categories: X30 Senior and X30 Junior. Then, in Cremona for the second of three rounds of the WSK Final Cup, Zak Drummond won in OK and Wynn Godschalk in Mini U10. As ever, the high-performing KR chassis remain in contention for titles in six of the seven categories.

With 122 entries, the X30 Senior category will once again be the showcase of the IWF25, but the spectacle promises to be just as exciting in X30 Junior (114 drivers), X30 Mini (89), X30 Master (28) and S125 (35). This will be the first time the new IAME S125 engine has been used in this event. Regardless of the category, IAME engines have been the benchmark in terms of performance and reliability for many decades.

The major event in the 2025 IAME calendar got off to an intense start at the Lucas Guerrero International Circuit in Chiva, near Valencia. The substantial amount of entrants confirms the appeal of this event, and every available space in the paddock was needed to accommodate the drivers and the numerous teams in the best possible conditions. IAME, together with its partners RGMMC and the Spanish circuit managers, is once again offering a high standard of organisation this year.

Season after season, the IWF's success continues unabated. Once again this year, the IAME Warriors Final will celebrate the best drivers of 2025 with pride, pleasure and passion. Twelve months after devastating floods that forced the organisers to relocate to another circuit with a postponed date, the Lucas Guerrero circuit in Chiva near Valencia is ready for an incredible week of IAME brand cup karting. In Spain, no fewer than 388 participants are registered for the 14th edition of the IWF25, which is already shaping up to be a memorable event.

From April 4 to 6 this weekend, no less than 266 drivers are expected for the first round of the IAME Series Benelux 2025 in Mariembourg. The Karting des Fagnes circuit will be the battleground for the best kart drivers from the Benelux and a strong foreign representation.

With 96 drivers entered in OK and 91 in OK-Junior in the first of five rounds of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, top 10 places in the Final were extremely hard to come by. The teams using KR chassis and IAME engines clearly worked in the right direction, as the rankings showed seven OK and six OK-Junior drivers in the top 10 of the Finals. In 2025, the aim will be to retain the OK title in this RGMMC series and to win back the OK-Junior crown. In addition, valuable information has been gathered a week before the start of the FIA Karting European Championships.
