The 52nd edition of the race is ready to welcome a full grid in the categories MINI, OKJ, KZ2, OKN and OKNJ at Lonato from October 24th to 27th.
The 52nd Trofeo delle Industrie, organized by Parma Motorsport, is shaping up to be a record-breaking edition. The event has already secured a remarkable 320 entries with a stellar lineup at the South Garda Karting in Lonato. Scheduled for October 24-27, the competition will feature MINI, OKJ, KZ2, OKN, and OKNJ categories on track.

This record highlights the historical significance of this event, which was founded in 1971 by Umberto Pellegrini. Unfortunately, he recently passed away but left behind this important legacy, which was previously organized at the Parma Kartodrome. In recent years, his children Tiziano, Donatella, and Germano have taken over the reins, and the event has moved to the South Garda Karting circuit, with participation numbers steadily increasing until reaching this new record.

45 represented nations.
Drivers from around the world are ready to compete in the 52nd Trofeo delle Industrie, with 45 countries currently represented, including not only European nations but also Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Panama, South Africa, Thailand, the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Big numbers in all categories.
Approximately 120 young drivers will compete in the MINI category, divided into Under 10 and Group 3. Among them is Nicolò Perico, the winner of the Under 10 category last year. Noah Baglin, the 2023 Group 3 winner, will be competing in the more competitive OK Junior category, where Lewis Wherrell won last year before moving up to KZ2 this year. In the shifter category, other top drivers are expected to challenge the already registered big names, such as Cristian Bertuca, Alessio Piccini, Giuseppe Palomba, Giacomo Pollini, and Markus Kajak. Contributing to the large turnout at this year's Trofeo delle Industrie are the protagonists of the two new federal categories, OKN and OKN Junior, which together have a total of 90 drivers, including many of this season's top performers.

A very rich Hall of Fame.
The Trofeo delle Industrie boasts a rich history of renowned drivers, including many karting and motorsport champions. Among the most famous winners are Beppe Gabbiani in the first edition of 1971, followed by Paolo Barilla (1978 and 1981), Ivan Capelli (1978), Stefano Modena (1981, 1982 and 1984), Gabriele Tarquini (1984), Alex Zanardi (1985), Max Papis (1987), Jarno Trulli (1988), Giancarlo Fisichella (1990), Lewis Hamilton (1999), Antonio Giovinazzi (2006), Daniil Kvyat (2008), and many others who have contributed to making this event so prestigious.
