The roar of engines is back as the Rotax Max Challenge Euro Trophy revs up for its second round at Germany's iconic Prokart Raceland Wackersdorf. With 208 drivers confirmed and over 35 nations represented, this weekend promises high-octane action and fierce competition across all categories.
The grid is packed: Senior Max leads with 90 entries, followed by Junior Max (47), Mini Max (35), and DD2/DD2 Masters (36). It's a stellar turnout that underscores the championship's growing prestige in the karting world.
All eyes are on Mini Max, where a golden ticket to the 2026 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals is up for grabs. Joshua Cooke (KR Sport) already punched his ticket at the season opener in Cremona, but the battle for the next spot is just heating up. With so much at stake, expect nothing less than wheel-to-wheel drama.
The championship standings are razor-thin after a weather-affected Final in Cremona. Nik Trobec (KSB Racing) leads the Senior Max field, but Bran Vanderveken (Bouvin Power) and Tom Langlois (GKart53) are breathing down his neck. It's still anyone's game—Wackersdorf could be the turning point that separates the contenders from the pretenders.
In Junior Max, the top four drivers are separated by just four points. Zdenek Babicek (Dan Holland Racing) leads on 153, but Emerson MacandrewUren (151), Albert Friend (150), and Rares Pascu (149) are hot on his heels. Every heat and final result here will be crucial—one mistake could cost a championship dream.
Over in DD2, Michael Rosina (MKC Motorsport) arrives as the man to beat after converting his Cremona win into a points lead. Reigning champion Jakub Bezel (Kraft Motorsport) and Leonardo Baccaglini (Schepers Racing) are ready to challenge. In DD2 Masters, Nicolas Picot (Privateer) continues to set the pace with his trademark consistency.
As the sun rises over the Prokart Raceland, the stage is set for a weekend of unforgettable racing. Whether you're trackside or following from home, this is karting at its finest—fast, fierce, and full of passion.
