The World's Biggest Week in Karting!
The wait is over! WKA is excited to officially unveil the 2026 Daytona KartWeek Sprint Class lineup, including the class structure, official tire program, Morning & Afternoon race groups, and the introduction of the brand-new 206 Featherweight #340 division.
📅 Move-In: December 26-27
🏁 Practice & Qualifying: December 28
🏆 Racing: December 29 & 30
🕗 Morning & Afternoon Race Groups
To provide the best possible racing experience while keeping the event running efficiently, Sprint classes will be divided into Morning and Afternoon race groups.

Final group assignments and the official race schedule will be released prior to Daytona KartWeek.
🔥 Official Tire Program
The 2026 Sprint program will feature two of the most respected tire manufacturers in karting.
🔵 Vega Tires will be the official spec tire for all Briggs & Stratton 206 classes.
🟢 MGtires will be the official spec tire for the IAME Micro Swift, Mini Swift, KA Junior, and KA Senior divisions.

One of the biggest additions to the 2026 Sprint program is the introduction of the 206 Featherweight #340 class.
