As kart racing in Ontario gears up for the 2026 season, KartStars Canada is proud to unveil its highly anticipated schedule. Following extensive discussions with the key figures of Ontario’s karting community, the KartStars team is confident that this year’s edition will build upon the momentum of previous seasons, driving continued success. This marks the seventh season of the series, which will visit three of the province’s premier venues, uniting Ontario’s top clubs for five rounds of intense competition. Full details for the KartStars National Championship in August are still being finalized, so stay tuned.
Goodwood Kartways will remain at the helm as organizer and promoter, while the Mosport Karting Centre and Hamilton Karting Complex are back on board to host key events. Once again, Ontario’s “big three” karting tracks are collaborating to offer exciting regional action. This year, drivers from Rok/Vortex Canada and Briggs & Stratton will compete across nine championship classes in all five rounds. Additionally, for 2026, three Rotax classes will be incorporated into three rounds, creating a new Rotax Championship with substantial prizes. Further details, including the full prize package, will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Although it wasn’t an easy process, we carefully examined all options, always striving to make the best decisions for the community.”
Curtis Fox, General Manager of Mosport Karting Centre, added, “We are absolutely delighted to once again host KartStars Canada at Mosport Karting Centre. Although we faced a few challenges, everyone involved remained focused on the shared goal of strengthening Ontario’s karting community. We’re eagerly anticipating an action-packed weekend, and the competitors are in for an unforgettable experience.”
