Saturday had left Aspar with unfinished business. Axel Nocom and Angelina Simons Torres had controlled their respective qualifying programmes without converting them into Final victories, while Mayson Hibbert had completed the opening day unbeaten. Sunday offered one final opportunity to master the unfamiliar circuit and another full day of closely fought racing in the Spanish heat.

The unfamiliar 1,647-metre circuit provided exactly the test expected of it. Drivers faced intense heat, tightly packed racing and drama as the penultimate round of the 2026 Champions of the Future Academy Program International Series began at the Aspar Circuit.

Round 3 of the Champions of the Future Academy Program International Series brought the heat exactly as promised in Viterbo. Testing on Friday gave way to a full day of Time Qualifying, Qualifying Heat 1 and the Saturday Finals across Mini 60, OK-N Junior and OK-N Senior, and by late afternoon three different winners had each written their own chapter into Round 3.

For the third event of the Champions of the Future Academy Program International Series, we swap gyros for pizza and head to Italy. Just when we thought it was hot in Greece, the temperature rises even further in Viterbo.

For the third and penultimate round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program UK Series, the tight and technical circuit of Larkhall played host to the Mini 60, OK-N Junior and OK-N Senior categories. The drivers would battle on a circuit that has previously welcomed stars such as Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Lando Norris and, of course, David Coulthard, who cut his teeth and began his racing career at the Scottish venue.

Race Day 1 of Round 3 brought the 2026 Champions of the Future Academy Program UK Series north of the border for the first time, with Larkhall Circuit in South Lanarkshire hosting the series on a day of mixed conditions following Friday's free practice sessions.

Few venues in British karting can match the history, character and challenge offered by Larkhall. Built in 1961 and located just outside Glasgow, the circuit has spent more than six decades helping shape generations of drivers, earning a reputation as one of the most respected karting venues in the United Kingdom.

Heading into Greece would have felt like stepping into the unknown for much of the Champions of the Future Academy Program field as Round 2 arrived on the calendar. Hidden in the Greek hills near Thessaloniki, Circuit 27 made its debut as host of the second round of the season. The brand-new venue welcomed OK-N Junior, OK-N Senior and Mini 60 competitors across two days of racing, producing new championship leaders, podium finishers and memorable moments throughout the weekend.

The Champions of the Future Academy Program completed its first-ever visit to Greece with another dramatic day of racing at Circuit 27, as Sunday brought fresh winners, last-lap drama and a spectacular conclusion to Round 2.

After a long wait since February, the Champions of the Future Academy Program now returns, this time heading into untouched territory for the series: Greece.

Sunday of Round 2 in the 2026 Champions of the Future Academy Program UK brought another full reset at PF International Kart Circuit, with drivers once again tackling one of the UK’s fastest circuits through qualifying, heats and finals. Dry conditions remained throughout most of Sunday, allowing the pace to intensify as the weekend concluded with another packed day of racing across OK-N Junior, MINI 60 and OK-N Senior.

After Friday’s free practice sessions gave drivers their first opportunity to attack one of the UK’s fastest and most demanding karting circuits, Race Day 1 of Round 2 in the 2026 Champions of the Future Academy Program UK delivered great racing throughout Saturday at PF International Kart Circuit.

The Champions of the Future Academy Program launches its first dedicated UK series at Kart Silverstone from 26 to 29 March. For the first time, Mini 60 and OK-N will headline a standalone national series.

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 third season of the Champions of the Future Academy International Series gets underway this week in Spain, with the opening round hosted at the technical and demanding Kartodromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero. At 1,428 metres, the Chiva circuit is long enough to reward bravery, technical enough to challenge drivers and wide enough to encourage ambition into Turn 1.

The 2026 International Series roared into life with packed grids across Mini 60, OK-N Junior and OK-N Senior. A strong mix of returning contenders and several new names immediately raised the level of competition. After sunny preparation days, race day brought changing conditions, with clouds rolling in and a short drizzle during the Mini 60 Final. The light rain slightly slowed lap times but did little to disrupt the intensity on track.
