Under brilliant sunshine and a charged atmosphere, the final race day of the Bermuda Rubis Energy Karting Championship 2025–2026 season delivered high drama as 49 drivers took to the track to settle the standings. The campaign concluded with a day of clinical driving and tactical maneuvering, as both seasoned veterans and rising stars battled for the final silverware of the season.
In the L206 class, Jason North produced a flawless afternoon to cap off his dominant campaign, sweeping all three heats to secure the season championship title. While David Barbosa demonstrated impressive consistency by finishing second in each heat, the battle for third remained fluid, with Owen DeCosta, John Carreiro, and David Selley all claiming podium spots across the three races.
The TAG Senior class provided some of the day's most competitive racing. Scott Barnes asserted his authority by claiming victory in the first two heats, but a late surge from Ryan Burgess saw him take the win in the third. Despite Barnes' heat successes, Burgess’s steady point accumulation throughout the season was enough to secure the overall championship title. Podium finishes from Blake Horseman, Shannon Caisey, and Nathan DeCosta highlighted the depth of talent in a division that remained undecided until the final laps.
Consistency proved to be the decisive factor in the TAG Junior class, where Tanner Correia delivered a series of standout performances to claim the championship. Correia secured the top spot in the first two heats, followed by Alondro Albouy and Jonathan Linberg. Although Albouy managed to take the chequered flag in the final heat of the day, Correia’s earlier work was sufficient to maintain his lead at the top of the table.
The KZ Masters category featured a tightly contested showdown between Jason DeCouto and Rian Lindo. DeCouto claimed victories in the first and third heats, and his second-place finish in the middle race was enough to earn him the season championship. Lindo pushed him all the way with a win in heat two, while William Dunkley utilized his trademark consistency to secure three podium finishes and third place in the overall standings.
In the premier KZ class, Scott Barnes delivered a masterclass by winning all three heats in clinical fashion. However, the day ultimately belonged to Ryan Rebello, whose disciplined approach and podium finishes—second in the first two heats and third in the final—were enough to clinch the overall championship title. Blake Horseman and Stephen Corrado also featured on the podium in a division that remains the pinnacle of local karting.
The Cadet and Arrive and Drive classes offered a glimpse into the future of the sport. Tanner Correia continued his exceptional day by dominating the Cadet class with three straight wins to earn another championship title, finishing ahead of a resilient Jacob Garrett. Meanwhile, in the Arrive and Drive category, Mason Sousa proved unbeatable by taking the chequered flag in every heat. Debutant Hayden Constable-Stephens impressed the paddock by improving his position in every race to finish second in the final heat, while Miguel Cabral and Cooper Hillier rounded out a successful season for the developmental class.
