Bahrain Rotax karting set for exciting double-header this weekend at BIKC in Sakhir
Not even a week removed from hosting one of international karting’s biggest annual events, Bahrain International Circuit’s (BIC) world-class grassroots motorsport facility will be buzzing once again with back-to-back days of high-octane racing action.
Bahrain International Karting Circuit (BIKC), the Kingdom’s history-making karting venue in Sakhir, will be hosting this Friday and Saturday (12 and 13 December) the second and third rounds of the 2025/2026 Bahrain Rotax MAX Challenge (BRMC), the country’s premier karting championship.
After a hugely 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 very 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 high-octane categories, including Micro MAX, Mini MAX, Junior MAX, Senior MAX, and DD2 MAX.
Action on both days is scheduled to begin at 10.50am with free practices. They are to be followed by qualifying practice from 11.37am, while after a prayer and lunch break, the pre-finals will be held from 1.05pm. That will then set the stage for the finals, flagging off from 2.37pm.
The podium ceremonies are slated for 5.07pm following the exciting action.
All are welcome to attend and cheer for the karters. Entrance to BIKC is free of charge.
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 10 January, followed by round five on 30 January.
Round six is then set for 13 February, and then the seventh and penultimate round will be held on 28 March. That will pave the way for the championship final, scheduled for 18 April at BIKC.
