Mariembourg in Belgium hosts the German Kart Championship for the first time. Full field of 188 drivers. First showdown in the “Road to DTM” competition.

With less than two weeks to go until the start of the 2025 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy, anticipation is building fast.

Mariembourg, Belgium, hosts the German Kart Championship for the first time. There is a full field of 188 drivers, and this is the first showdown in the “Road to DTM” competition.

A warmer breeze and a clearer sky greeted drivers for the second and final day of racing in Valencia. The Mini 60, OK-N Junior, and OK-N Senior categories delivered intense on-track drama as the fight for the series rankings continued to unfold. Sunday featured an entire fresh day with timed qualifying sessions, two more qualifying heats per category, and the all-important finals with the storylines shaken up again since Saturday.

The second round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program is scheduled for 11th-13th April on the Spanish circuit of Valencia. An initial hierarchy has already emerged, but many drivers will be keen to upset the odds by taking advantage of the ‘arrive and drive’ concept, which places all drivers on an equal footing in the Mini, OK-N Junior and OK-N Senior categories.
