X-Kart Keep Busy Across Three Events at Le Mans, Franciacorta, and Hooton Park
X-Kart drivers were spread across three separate events in 3 different countries this weekend, with representatives at the RMC International Trophy at Le Mans, Round 3 of the TBKart R-EVO Championship at Franciacorta in Italy, and Round 6 of the IndiKart Championship at Hooton Park. Across all three events, the team produced some of the strongest individual results of the season, with race wins and podiums on both sides of the Channel.
RMC International Trophy, Le Mans
X-Kart were represented at Le Mans for the RMC International Trophy, one of the most prestigious international karting events on the calendar. Lewis Sumner and Isaac Jameson both made the trip to the French circuit, competing in a field of 120 drivers in one of the most competitive environments the team has faced this season.
Team Results
Both drivers took on the challenge of a 120-driver field at Le Mans. Sumner finished P53 in the final classifiction and Jameson P96, with both drivers gaining valuable experience at international level in one of the biggest fields of the season.
TBKart R-EVO Championship Round 3, Franciacorta
Round 3 of the TBKart R-EVO Championship took place at Franciacorta in Italy, and X-Kart delivered their strongest R-EVO weekend of the season. Riley Bishop and Lewis Sumner both represented the team in the Senior Rotax Light class, and between them produced a dominant pair of race results.
Team Results
Riley Bishop took back-to-back race wins at Franciacorta, finishing P1 in both Race 1 and Race 2 to deliver a perfect weekend in the R-EVO championship. Lewis Sumner backed him up with a P3 finish in Race 1 before a more difficult Race 2 saw him finish P10. The combined results put X-Kart firmly in contention as the R-EVO season heads into its closing rounds.
Hooton Park IndiKart Championship Round 6
Hooton Park hosted Round 6 of the IndiKart Championship, and X-Kart produced their best result of the series so far. Zac Cain, Lucas Steele, and Lewis Holt all competed in Senior Rotax, with Cain delivering one of the most complete performances of his season.
Senior Rotax
Zac Cain
Zac Cain arrived at Hooton Park in strong form and made an immediate impression in Saturday testing, setting the fastest time on track throughout the day. The kart was working exactly as needed from the outset, and Cain carried that confidence directly into Sunday’s competitive sessions.
Qualifying produced pole position, and he backed that up with wins in Heat 1 and Heat 2, taking fastest lap in the opening heat. The final was no different. Cain led from the front, controlled the race throughout, and crossed the line first with another fastest lap to his name. A clean sweep across every session of the day and comfortably the standout individual result of the weekend.
Team Results
Lucas Steele finished P11 in the Senior Rotax final and Lewis Holt P13, both contributing to a strong team showing at Hooton Park across the round.
Looking Ahead
Three events, three countries, and race wins at two of them. Weekends like this reflect the breadth of what X-Kart drivers are competing in and the level they are competing at. With the domestic season heading into its closing rounds and the R-EVO championship still very much alive, there is plenty still to race for across the remainder of 2026.
