Rotax Racing Club International Finals 2026 at Karting Genk

BRP-Rotax is proud to announce the official launch of the Rotax Racing Club – a new global initiative designed to make competitive karting more accessible than ever before.

With its first international event already on the horizon, the Rotax Racing Club is set to bring together drivers from selected Arrive & Drive championships from all over the world for the Rotax Racing Club (RRC) International Finals.

The first edition of the Rotax Racing Club International Finals will take place at the world-famous Karting Genk “Home of Champions” circuit in Belgium from Friday, May 29 to Saturday, May 30, 2026 organized by Club100 (Rotax Racing Club UK).
Over two days, qualified drivers will compete in equal, high-performance Rotax powered karts through a series of practice, qualifying, and racing sessions. – All in the spirit of fair, competitive, and accessible motorsport.

The Rotax Racing Club (RRC) is a new concept from BRP-Rotax that opens the doors to high-level karting through Arrive & Drive championships powered by Rotax 125 MAX engines. Designed for racers who want the thrill of real competition without the cost and complexity of owning a kart, RRC events allow participants to simply bring their racing gear and jump straight into the action.

“The Rotax Racing club is a community-focused racing experience tailored to all levels – from passionate newcomers to future stars,” says Peter Oelsinger, General Manager BRP-Rotax / Member of the Management Board, Vice President Sales, Marketing RPS-Business & Communications. “It is an ideal entry point for young drivers and a fun, low-barrier opportunity for adults to enjoy professional karting in an affordable, easy accessible way.”

Only clubs officially confirmed by BRP-Rotax can carry the Rotax Racing Club name, symbolizing standardized, high-quality competition on equal-performance Rotax-powered rental karts.

We are delighted to confirm that the RRC International Finals will be hosted by Club100, the UK’s leading Arrive & Drive championship organizers. Known for their exceptional race management and decades of experience, Club100 has played a key role in the development of the Rotax Racing Club concept from the very beginning.

From early 2026, Club100 will officially become the Rotax Racing Club United Kingdom, continuing their long-standing tradition of delivering high-quality, competitive racing while now being part of our growing global network. Their expertise and passion make them the perfect partner to organize the first-ever Rotax Racing Club International Finals in 2026.

Drivers will need to qualify via one of the designated Rotax-powered Arrive & Drive championships (more may be added ahead of the event):

Each national series will be allocated a set number of grid spaces per category. The Finals are open to drivers aged 13 years and over, with four categories for different age and weight classes and a maximum of 40 drivers per class.
