Manama: Bahrain International Karting Circuit (BIKC) will be hosting this Friday and Saturday, December 12 - 13, the second and third rounds of the 2025 / 2026 Bahrain Rotax MAX Challenge (BRMC), the country's premier karting championship.
According to Bahrain News Agency, after a successful event on the world stage in the just-concluding Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals 2025, which featured nearly 400 competitors from 60 nations worldwide, the focus shifts to the premier national karting series, boasting the best local talent going wheel-to-wheel in their very own Rotax-powered karts.
Competitors will be battling it out along BIKC's 1.414-kilometre CIK-FIA track across five categories, including Micro MAX, Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, and DD2 MAX.
Action on both days is scheduled to begin at 10.50 AM with free practices. They are to be followed by qualifying practice from 11.37 AM, and the pre-finals will be held from 1.05 PM. That will then set the stage for the finals, flagging off from 2.37 PM.
The podium ceremonies are slated for 5.07 PM following the action.
The BRMC features a total of eight rounds in its 2025 / 2026 calendar. Following this weekend's double-header, which marks the final action of this calendar year, round four will kick off 2026 on January 10, 2026, followed by round five on 30 January.
Round six is then set for February 13, and then the seventh and penultimate round will be held on March 28. That will pave the way for the championship final, scheduled for April 18 at BIKC.
