In Nice, trophies were awarded to Palomba, Bertuca, Travisanutto, and Nalon for their victories in the FIA Karting championships. Great satisfaction for the President of the ACI Sport Karting Commission, Raffaele Giammaria.

Italian drivers scooped up trophies this year at the FIA Karting Awards Ceremony, organized this year on the French Riviera along the Nice Promenade at the prestigious Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée. Among the FIA Karting awardees, four Italian drivers received trophies for their outstanding victories at the top of the 2024 international season: Giuseppe Palomba, Cristian Bertuca, Lorenzo Travisanutto, and Riccardo Nalon.

An award was also given to the Val Vibrata Kartodrome, represented by Daniela Spinozzi, for the best FIA Karting event of 2024.

Italian teams also awarded.
KR Motorsport won the FIA Karting Team title for results in the World Championship and European Championship in the OK category.

Birel ART Racing won the FIA Karting Team title for results in the KZ2 World Cup and KZ2 European Championship.

The ceremony was attended by the President of the ACI Sport Karting Commission, Raffaele Giammaria, who commented:
"It was a wonderful event that especially gave the four Italian drivers who won FIA Karting titles the chance to be deservedly celebrated. It is a great satisfaction for Italy to have two European champions in KZ and KZ Masters and, above all, to have brought Italy’s name to the top of the podium worldwide in KZ and KZ2. Great satisfaction also comes from the recognition given to Daniela Spinozzi as the best organizer, which gives us high hopes for 2025 when Italy will host four titled events out of the ten FIA Karting events scheduled. We hope to confirm these results next year in the shifter categories and aim for similar successes in OK and OKJ, and perhaps in the OKN and OKNJ World Cup that we will host in Italy in 2025."
