The Race of Kings is the crown jewel of King of the Hammers and the ultimate test in Ultra4 racing. Drivers take on brutal desert speeds and unforgiving rock trails in a single, relentless course that pushes both machine and driver to the limit. It’s where strategy, endurance, and raw skill collide, and where only a few make it to the finish. This is the race that defines champions and builds legends in Hammertown.

The 2026 Race of Kings at King of the Hammers brought together the world’s best off-road drivers for the ultimate test of desert speed and rock crawling. Explore the official results, top finishers, and race performance from this year’s competition.
