Now in its fourth edition, TBKart THE FINAL continues to hold a unique appeal for drivers by offering a prize worth more than any trophy for a racer: a race weekend as an official factory driver at one of the most iconic karting events in the world, the Las Vegas SuperNationals.

There are only a few ways to earn a spot on the grid at the Las Vegas SuperNationals, an event whose popularity is arguably matched only by global competitions such as the FIA Karting World Championship or the Rotax Grand Finals, and which is renowned for its truly unique atmosphere. Either you are one of the leading names in American karting, you are an FIA World Champion, or... you can try to earn your entry by winning a top-level rental kart race. For anyone who still considers rental karting a minor branch of motorsport, the global community of drivers competing in this discipline—including a rapidly growing scene in Italy—has expanded significantly in recent years, not only in numbers but also in overall competitiveness. Proof of this comes from the fact that the organizer of an event like the one in Paris believes its best drivers are capable of competing—as they have done over the past three editions—on one of the world's most demanding circuits alongside professional and semi-professional racers.

THE FINAL Race Format
Following the success of the first three editions—with 54 international drivers in 2023, 120 competitors in 2024, and more than 150 entrants from 17 countries in 2025—THE FINAL returns with the goal of raising the level of competition even further. The prize at stake is truly mouth-watering: the overall winner will earn a fully funded entry to the prestigious SKUSA SuperNationals in Las Vegas, one of the most important events in world karting, competing under an Arrive & Drive package with the official support of the TBKART Racing Team.

To ensure maximum sporting fairness—a hallmark of this type of competition—all participants will race in identical TBKART R-MAX karts powered by Rotax 125cc two-stroke, 23 hp engines, with karts assigned by random draw before every driving session. The event is open to drivers aged 12 and over, divided into the Junior, Young, Senior, Master and Expert categories. The race format includes official free practice, Hot Lap qualifying sessions, three qualifying heats, a Last Chance Qualifier for the SK1 category if required, and the spectacular Final that will crown the 2026 champion.

Safety, fair play on track and respect for the regulations will be the core values of the event, challenging every driver to demonstrate both their talent behind the wheel and their sporting spirit off the circuit. It is a unique opportunity to compete in an international-level event and pursue the dream of racing under the lights of Las Vegas.
