2025 ACI Karting Italian Championship in Cremona decisive for access to the OK-N and OK-NJ FIA Karting World Cup

[Translated with ChatGPT]

The top three drivers in the OK-N and OK-NJ standings of the ACI Karting Italian Championship after the fourth round in Cremona will earn the right to participate in the FIA Karting World Cup from September 25 to 28.

The next round of the ACI Karting Italian Championship, scheduled from July 10 to 13 at the Cremona Circuit, will be decisive in selecting the participants for the 2025 FIA Karting World Cup for OK-N and OK-N Junior, which will also take place in Cremona from September 25 to 28, 2025.

Selection after the Italian Championship round in Cremona
The top three drivers in the standings of the Italian Championship for both OK-N and OK-NJ categories, after the Cremona round, will have the right to participate in the World Cup as “priority” drivers, as provided by the FIA regulations for the top 3 drivers in the provisional standings of each national championship. Therefore, for the ACI Karting Italian Championship contenders, the standings after the first four 2025 rounds in OK-N and OK-NJ will be considered: Ugento (April 13), Viterbo (May 25), Sarno (June 15), and Cremona (July 13).

The drivers selected by the ASN will receive a specific credential to access the FIA Karting registration platform and submit their participation requests. From August 1, 2025, the entry platform will open to all other candidates, until the 72 available spots per category are filled.

Success of OK-N and OK-NJ firmly established
The established success of the two federal categories OK-N and OK-N Junior will benefit from another high-level international event, offering an exciting showdown among the top contenders of various national championships. This is certainly an excellent result for the Italian Federation and the ACI Karting Commission chaired by Raffaele Giammaria, which has believed in the potential of these two new categories from the very beginning.

Third international event in 2025 with the World Cup in Cremona
The first international event for the OK-N and OK-NJ categories dates back to 2023, when ACI Sport organized the “Road to the OKN World Cup” in Franciacorta. In 2024, the FIA hosted the first official OK-N World Cup at the PFI circuit in England. In 2025, the FIA Karting World Cup for OK-N in Cremona will also include the OK-N Junior category.

Winners of the two previous events:
2023 Road to the OKN World Cup at Franciacorta Karting Track (ITA): OK-N Antonio Apicella (ITA); OK-NJ Jesse Phillips (GBR).
2024 OK-N World Cup at PFI Circuit (GBR): Kyuho Lee (KOR).
