BIKC qualifying is now officially underway, with the 2026 championship marking the 7th edition of the competition.
This year, we enter the qualifying stage with over 2,800 drivers registered and ready to compete. Leading the way is Crawley with an impressive 188 sign-ups, continuing their strong tradition in the championship. Close behind is Liverpool, showing growth from 2025 with 177 registered drivers, followed by Leeds with 142 entries.
With 2026 set to be bigger and better than ever, we are excited to see five new champions crowned at the end of the competition. With 11 venues yet to secure a BIKC podium finish, the competition promises to be more competitive than ever.
As qualifying begins, drivers are required to complete three lap times across three separate days in order to be eligible for the competition. Those looking to improve their average lap time are encouraged to complete additional sessions, as faster lap times will lower their overall average. Updates on qualifying progress and current standings will be regularly shared via track social media channels.
To progress to the next stage, drivers must rank within the top 20 fastest Cadets, and the top 24 fastest drivers in the Junior, Lightweight, Middleweight, and Heavyweight categories. Drivers who fall outside these positions will still have a chance to compete in the Local Final, as they will be placed on a reserve list.
With qualifying now open, now is your moment, don’t miss the opportunity to be part of another unforgettable year of BIKC.
