Another driver to compete in OK machinery as Ben McCloughry will be in OK-NJ at the Italian circuit, Cremona. It’ll be from 25th-28th September and will face stiff competition but with how good Ben been this year it shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Good luck Ben! We’ll be cheering you on.

Firstly hope everyone got home safe last night! Thanks to MI commission for putting this on last night.

Just a quick run down on what I’d thought of last night but a more detailed version will be on the podcast tonight.

- Too many classes
That was a spicy section of the night that’s for sure. We’ve 3 main engines of Rotax, IAME and T4. Only one of them is properly succeeding which is T4 although it was never really spoke about how maybe they’ve also too many classes? T4 junior to Senior is succeeding but the bambino class is up against an already flooded bambino market of Comer, IAME and MightE. I believe we still should only have the 1 or 2 in the country.
T4 Mini is in similar boat as it’s competing against IAME, two Rotax classes and now we’ve maybe IAME restricted coming in around 2027?! Yet that very same bunch reckons we’ve too many classes in Mini classes.

In my ideal world why can’t both IAME and Rotax work? Maybe we could have - IAME Bambino ( which can compete UKC, TKC and MI ). Micro Rotax ( UKC, MI ) for those younger kids. IAME ( MI, TKC, UKC? ) which ever package they’ll go in 2027.

To expand on the Bambino class, we’re missing out on bigger grids and great little drivers! I think it would need some lottery system with engines though to control costs.

Senior wise I think Rotax and IAME works fine. Junior wise I think Rotax need to pull a solid 10 minimum to work.

- T4 in TKC
Ok this is a short one. They’ve not the room unless they drop classes, and to be fair they kind of need it but Tillotson had made it clear in the past they don’t attend TKC events. That means no technical support or parts.

- Calendar
That’s for the podcast. But fair play to everyone for fighting for more! But realistically I think we need to drop classes to make it work.
Before we get excited about Nutts Corner that won’t happen in 2026. They’ve their allocated dates filled already I believe.

PR -
That rant is for the podcast.

Overall the meeting was decent, some topics we made progress and others we’ve only gone in circles. But mini teams of people have been set up to try sort out the issues.

Was the meeting useful, vote below.

The last TIKC winners of 2025. Was fantastic racing especially in the T4 classes with Bambino going down to the last lap, last corner with Ollie and Daire. Same in T4 Mini with Jack, Billy and Harley, T4 Junior with Billy and Joey and T4 Senior with Josh, Warren and Peter.

The rest we’d the Tadgh Buckley win in Junior and Andrei Dabija in Senior X30. Jack Harney taking victory in Cadets and Colm Munnelly taking a much needed win for his championship in T4 168.

Plenty of drama and action all to come on the next episode of the podcast which will probably be Friday night. Why that late? Waiting for what could be an interesting meeting Thursday night for those in the MI karting scene.

Remember tag, like and share but don’t edit these images!

And with the season finishing it’s the last winning posts for TIKC. Remember to go support T-Sport, IRL Motorsports, Red Graphix and Burke Motorsport Photography who all sponsored these.

Tillotson Ireland Karting Championship Finale at Kiltorcan 7th September 2025

What’s this meant to achieve? This over safety has only lead to worse driving. Honestly a drunken stag party in rentals is usually cleaner than a certain foreign championship..
Not saying we go back to no bumpers, but we’ve gone too far somewhere.

It seems that the project promoted by the FIA Safety Department, launched over a year ago and concerning the protection of kart wheels, has now reached its final evaluation stage.

Jack McLoughlin will join Adam in competing in the inaugural CIK FIA Arrive and drive event which will be held at the LYL International Circuit in Malaysia. Jack will compete in Junior OK-NJ.

Same as Senior, it’ll be an all OTK field with Vortex OK-NJ engines. The event will be 14-16 November which gives the lads some time to adapt to the OK engine package.

Well done to the lads for getting the opportunity. Look forward to seeing how they’ll do in what’ll be a big challenge from new engine package to the climate!

The last round of the TIKC Championship is this weekend where we’ve still some championships to settle.

The weather is looking mixed which could add plenty of drama by Sunday evening.
