New F400+ class announcement

PRESS RELEASE

F400 Karting Launches an Exciting New Class for 2026

17 October 2025

F400 Karting is proud to announce the debut of the F400+ class for the 2026 Season, an all-new, high-performance class that raises the bar for competitive racing. Engineered for speed, consistency, and accessibility, the F400+ Class introduces a powerful 480cc engine which represents a bold evolution from the current F400 specification.

The new F400+ engine delivers 15% more power and 16% more torque at 20% Less Cost, translating into a significantly faster, more exhilarating on-track experience. Built for both seasoned racers and emerging talent, this class promises to deliver closer competition and unmatched reliability.

Unlike other open-spec classes, the F400+ Class will be fully homologated featuring standardized, sealed, and certified components supplied “ready to race.” This ensures total parity across the grid and puts the emphasis back where it belongs: on driver skill and racecraft.

Even with its performance boost, the F400+ Class remains highly cost-effective. Thanks to its sealed-engine format and strict no-modification philosophy, racers will benefit from lower overall costs and reduced maintenance — making elite performance more accessible than ever before, delivering a faster, fairer, and more affordable class that embodies what competitive karting should be — pure, equal, and thrilling racing.

The F400+ class will debut in the upcoming 2026 season, with availability, pricing and registration details to be announced soon.

For racers and teams seeking the ultimate balance of power, precision, and parity at an affordable price, the future of F400 Karting — and in fact 4-stroke karting — has arrived. #JoinTheOrangeEvolution
