A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS AT SILVERSTONE: ROTAX RACING CLUB FINALS AND TEAM TROPHY 2026
Silverstone, UK, June 01, 2026 – The inaugural Rotax Racing Club Finals & Team Trophy 2026 has brought the global Rotax Racing Club community together at one of motorsport’s most iconic venues – Kart, Silverstone Karting in the United Kingdom.
Over the course of the weekend, 264 drivers – 160 for the RRC Finals and 32 teams for the RRC Team Trophy – from 24 countries travelled to the home of British motorsport to compete in the first-ever Rotax Racing Club Finals and Team Trophy. Representing Canada, China, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Colombia, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Madagascar, Mauri-tius, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and Wales, competitors arrived in Sil-verstone after qualifying through Rotax Racing Club events held around the world.
What started as a vision to create an accessible, fair and competitive international club racing platform has become a reality this weekend. Drivers from different cultures, backgrounds and racing experiences have come together on one international grid, united by their passion for karting and the unique spirit of Rotax Racing Club. By removing the traditional barriers of motorsport – such as kart ownership, transport logistics, and extensive mechanical support – we live up to our vision of “Motorsport for All”, allowing pure driver talent and strategy to take centre stage in a highly professional environment.
The atmosphere throughout the paddock has been exceptional. Blessed with beautiful sunshine and blue skies, Silverstone provided the perfect backdrop for this historic occasion. Beyond the on-track competition, the true essence of the Rotax Racing Club could be seen throughout the paddock, where drivers shared experiences, exchanged advice and helped each other improve.
The event also showcased the integration of the Rotax TRAX timing and data analysis system, with drivers making extensive use of the platform throughout the weekend. The ability to review data, compare performance and learn from fellow competitors added another dimension to the racing experience and reinforced the educational and developmental aspects of the Rotax Racing Club concept.
On Saturday evening, the first champions in Rotax Racing Club International Finals history were crowned, marking a milestone not only for the winners but for the entire Rotax Racing Club community.
The celebrations continued on Sunday with the Rotax Racing Club Team Trophy, where 32 teams battled for victory in a format that perfectly reflects the values of teamwork, camaraderie and competition that define the Rotax Racing Club experience. The Team Trophy prize-giving ceremony on Sunday evening brought this remarkable weekend to a fitting conclusion.
As the inaugural edition comes to an end, one thing is already clear: the Rotax Racing Club Finals have demonstrated the strength of a concept that connects local club racing with an international stage. Drivers from around the world have shown that equal equipment, competitive racing and a strong community spirit create a unique motorsport experience.
