$10M Jumbo Jet Events/Nitro Kart Klash

THE upcoming Nitro Kart Klash, the brainchild of the Jumbo Jet Events team, has announced its list of events ahead of the April 19, 2026, event.

Set for the parking lot of the National Stadium, Providence, the event which is building up to be a mega attraction for both motorsport enthusiasts and fans, has released its list of categories for the day.

At the core of the event are several established classes that form the foundation of the competition. Among them is the 200cc four-stroke Honda category, known for its reliability and smooth performance, making it a popular choice for both intermediate and experienced racers. The Briggs 206 divisions further refine competition by grouping drivers based on specific criteria. The Heavy and Light classes ensure fair racing conditions by accounting for driver weight, while the Junior and Cadet categories provide a clear development pathway for younger participants entering the sport.

For more advanced competitors, the 125cc IAME class stands out as one of the fastest and most demanding categories, requiring sharp reflexes and a high level of technical skill. Meanwhile, the Supermoto Senior class adds a different dimension to the event, blending elements of asphalt and dirt racing to test rider adaptability and control. The Time Attack Open Class offers a contrasting format, shifting the focus from wheel-to-wheel battles to individual performance, where racers compete for the fastest lap times.

In a move to broaden participation, Nitro Kart Klash has also introduced several new classes aimed at inclusivity and growth within the motorsport community. The Briggs Rookie Over-35 category is expected to attract older, non-professional racers looking to enter the sport in a more relaxed and welcoming environment. A dedicated Briggs Female class has been introduced to encourage greater female representation, reflecting a growing push for diversity in motorsports.

Younger riders are also being given new opportunities through the Supermoto Juniors category, which allows them to develop multi-surface racing skills early in their careers. Adding a modern twist to the lineup is the Electric Scooter class, signalling a step towards sustainable and innovative racing formats while offering an accessible entry point for newcomers.

Family fun for all

Meanwhile, organisers have confirmed that the event is a family-friendly setting with several over attractions planned.

“We have a kids zone planned for the weekend as well. So it isn’t just about the karting and the super moto; we are considering the Nitro Kart Clash, a family affair. We are going to have the bouncy castle, trampoline and an entire village dedicated to the kids.

“So we encouraging all the competitors and even those just coming to spectate to bring their families out because it is geared towards good, clean fun.”

The event has the support of Banks DIH, AJM Enterprise, KP Jagdeo General Contractors, Two Js Supermarket, SCI (Sawh’s Construction Inc.), Precision Service Center, and Ramchand’s Autobody.
