Daytona’s 2026 Racing Calendar

The Race Is On: Daytona Unveils 2026 Racing Calendar

After an unforgettable 2025 season filled with drama, rivalries, and heroic performances, Daytona is shifting up a gear for 2026. Our brand-new racing calendar is here and it’s packed with all our fan favourite championship and endurance races. From iconic race formats and legendary championship battles, to new circuit layouts to test even our regulars skill.

This season promises to deliver more action, more competition, and more unforgettable moments on track. Whether you’re a returning contender chasing glory or a new face ready to make your mark, the stage is set for another historic year at Daytona.

InKart

InKart once again delivered a standout season, showcasing young drivers taking their very first steps into motorsport. 2025 saw Bambinos grow into Cadets, Cadets progress into Juniors, and Juniors begin eyeing our senior championships.

The level of racing was exceptional, but the real story was development. Confidence, race craft and resilience building week after week. We look forward to watching this new generation continue to rise, whether they’re moving from Cadets to Juniors or preparing to make their senior karting debut in 2026. This championship is the epitome of what we stand for - grass roots motorsport, where young driver cut their teeth in the best karts the UK has to offer, with eyes towards a future in racing, in whatever form that may take.


Thursday Night League

What began as a casual Thursday evening championship has evolved into one of Daytona’s most iconic proving grounds. Thursday Night League in 2025 wasn’t just competitive, it was defined by the community that shaped it. The championship has become the birthplace of some of our brightest talent. Drivers like James King, who started in Milton Keynes, have gone on to win every Daytona championship on offer and form race-winning endurance teams.

TNL is now more than a race night, it’s a launchpad for champions and the centre of the community hub we're so happy to host.


SuperChamps

SuperChamps upheld its reputation as our premium championship. Packed grids, multi-class battles, and relentless pace defined the 2025 season across all categories.

This is where Daytona’s regulars come to prove themselves, and many go on to race bigger machinery and climb further up the motorsport ladder. The standard was consistently high, the racing consistently fierce, and 2026 promises the same energy, intensity, and spectacle.


Jamie Chadwick Series

Now in its second year, the Jamie Chadwick Series continued to break new ground as the worlds flagship women’s championship. The 2025 season has been fiercely competitive, inspirational, and a shining example of what grassroots motorsport can achieve.

Drivers like Zoe Catlett, who dominated in SODI before stepping up into DMAX, endurance racing, and even car racing, embody the momentum behind the championship. Rising talents such as Hope Wood and Julia Stankowiak have surged forward too, going wheel-to-wheel with some of our strongest racers across other Daytona categories.

Every driver in the JCS should be immensely proud, not only of what they’ve achieved on track, but of how they inspire the next generation of young women and open doors for wider progress in the sport. With confirmation that the series returns next year, the future looks brighter than ever.


DMAX National Championships

The return of the DMAX National Championships was one of the most anticipated moments of 2025. The series travelled across all three Daytona venues, from Sandown Park to Tamworth and concluding at Milton Keynes, delivering high drama at every round.

We saw cinematic underdog stories, mysterious figures emerging from the shadows, and new names stepping into the spotlight to cement themselves as serious Daytona contenders. The Nationals roared back into the calendar with style, passion and unforgettable racing, proving once again why the DMAX name carries such weight.


Endurance Racing

Endurance racing in 2025 was nothing short of spectacular. We hosted multiple 3-Hour races at every venue, several 6-Hours, the inaugural D600 10-Hour, and our world-famous 24 Hour race, which sold out early for the coming season.

Completing any of these events is a remarkable achievement. Winning one is legendary.

Heroic efforts came from teams such as Maple Motorsport, KBR, DNH, Team Yellow Racing, and many of our returning endurance regulars.
Special mention goes to:

  • James King, who won the 6 Hour solo and secured a podium in the D600 despite mechanical issues that almost certainly cost him a shot at victory.

  • Chris Thompson, team manager of DNH, who completed the D600 for charity and finished an incredible second place.

Endurance racing continues to sit at the heart of Daytona’s DNA, and 2026 will go even bigger.

Looking Ahead to 2026 – A Year of Growth, Challenge and Community

Every championship, every endurance race, and every staple of Daytona’s racing ladder returns in full force for 2026. We can’t wait to welcome back our regulars, meet fresh faces stepping into competitive karting for the first time, and watch more great stories, rivalries, and breakthroughs unfold.

From aspiring young drivers chasing their motorsport dreams to people who simply love the thrill of racing after work, Daytona remains the home of a community that drives each other forward.

The new season is on the horizon.
The grid is forming.
And the race is on.
