From 2025 doubled commitment with suits and technical apparel for Junior and Senior championships
Racing Force Group is pleased to confirm that its brand OMP has been selected by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) as the exclusive supplier, for the 2025-2027 period, of suits and apparel for the drivers in the FIA Karting Academy Trophy Junior and FIA Karting Academy Trophy Senior championships.
The FIA World Motor Sport Council, based on the proposals of the International Karting Commission, evaluated OMP's application as the best among all those submitted through the tender procedure. For OMP, this represents the continuation of a partnership started in the 2017 edition of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy, a one-make karting series designed to give drivers aged 12 to 14 the opportunity to compete on an international stage with identical technical material, ensuring equal opportunities for all.
Building on the success achieved, with over 50 entrants in the 2024 season, from 2025, the FIA's offering and OMP's commitment will double with the creation of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy Senior, open to boys and girls aged 14 to 16. On track, drivers will be equipped with KS-ART suits, while in the paddock they will wear dedicated OMP technical apparel that combines style, comfort, and performance.
In the latest season, the Junior title was claimed by Belgian driver Gilles Herman after three rounds held at Val D'Argenton (France), Slovak Karting Center (Slovakia), and Kristianstad (Denmark). In 2025, the new FIA Karting Academy Trophy Senior will kick off with the Portimão (Portugal) round from May 1-4, followed by stops in Viterbo (Italy) from June 5-8 and Rødby (Denmark) from July 31 to August 3. The FIA Karting Academy Trophy Junior will start in Valencia (Spain) from May 15-18, continuing in Mülsen (Germany) from July 17-20 and Cremona (Italy) from September 26-28.
Corrado Audisio, Senior Sales Manager at Racing Force Group, commented: "We are extremely proud to have once again been chosen by the FIA as the exclusive suppliers for the FIA Karting Academy Trophy, continuing a partnership started in 2017 that has allowed OMP to strengthen its presence at the forefront of international karting. Over the next three years, our commitment to this important project will be even more significant, thanks to the provision of suits and technical apparel for the new Senior category. Our mission is always to support young motorsport talents with products that combine protection, comfort, performance, and style during every moment of race weekends."
