BeNeLux Electric Karting Heats Up: Highlights from Venray & Amay + What’s Next for 2026

The 2025 BeNeLux electric karting championship is gaining serious momentum. With race weekends hosted in both the Netherlands and Belgium, the BSR-powered competition continues to evolve into one of the most dynamic youth and senior electric kart series in Europe.

Venray, Netherlands (Sept 6–7)

This round delivered classic Dutch karting adrenaline, with top-tier performances in both senior and cadet categories:

BSR-X4 (Senior Class)
1. Project 74 Racing 1
2. Noah Champagne
3. Axelle De Maeseneir

BSR-X2 (Cadet Class)
1. Nayden Purcy De Hoop
2. Karl Larsson
3. Bruce Van Schaik

Amay Cobra Karting, Belgium (Sept 20–21)

As the championship shifted to Belgium, the action remained intense with new names claiming podium spots:

BSR-X4 (Senior Class)
1. Project 74 Racing 1
2. Axelle De Maeseneir
3. Noah Champagne

BSR-X2 (Cadet Class)
1. Karl Larsson
2. Yelena Mary
3. Louis Heemskerk

These back-to-back events show not only the depth of talent but also the growing consistency of teams using Blue Shock Race’s high-performance electric karting platforms.

BeNeLux holds a special place in the BSR story — it was the first international territory outside of Latvia where BSR launched a full electric racing series. Though the momentum slowed during the COVID years, the 2025 season has reignited growth.

With both X2 (Cadet, 6–10 y.o.) and X4 (Senior, 14+ y.o.) classes now running, BeNeLux is proving to be an essential launchpad for new driver careers at accessible costs.

Unlike other larger European championships, this series is all about smart entry points, technology access, and driver development. It’s the perfect setting for discovering whether racing is the right path for a young athlete — with all-electric, low-maintenance BSR power units.

Starting in 2026, BSR plans to increase direct involvement in BeNeLux and integrate these races into a larger European Electric Karting League (EEKL) framework. This means:

Shared calendars across multiple nations
More unified class structures
Elevated media visibility
More substantial support from BSR’s Latvian HQ and European partners

Several countries are already building their national e-karting systems using BSR’s power unit technologies. This convergence is laying the foundation for a competitive and sustainable pan-European electric kart scene.

Title Battle Intensifies as BeNeLux Season Nears Finale

As the 2025 BeNeLux Electric Karting League nears its conclusion, the fight for the championship is tighter than ever. With only a driver’s top five race results counting towards the final tally, every podium now feels like a game-changer.

In the Cadet class (BSR-X2), Karl Larsson leads the standings after his commanding win in Amay, but Nayden Purcy De Hoop remains in close pursuit, backed by early-season consistency. Although Yelena Mary impressed with a strong pace, she only competed in one race — meaning the real title fight is now between Karl and Nayden for first and second, while Bruce Van Schaik and Louis Heemskerk are battling closely for third and fourth.

The Senior class (BSR-X4) sees Project 74 Racing 1 continuing to dominate as a team, thanks to consistent excellence from their pilots. Individually, Noah Champagne and Axelle De Maeseneir are locked in a razor-thin battle for top honors. Embla Larsson and Bartek Meerten are climbing fast, while Project 74 Racing 2 and Maik Schutte remain capable of shaking up the standings with a strong finish.

The arrival of new contenders in recent rounds has made every heat unpredictable. With only two rounds to go, there’s still room for major upsets — and every overtake, every corner, every lap could decide the 2025 champions.

With the final round scheduled for October 18–19, the battle for both BSR-X2 and BSR-X4 titles is far from over. Preparations are underway across teams and drivers.

Whether you’re a young talent, a parent considering a new sport for your child, or an aspiring racer looking for your next step, the BSR Arrive & Drive program or used kart purchases offer easy entry into the championship.
