Karting Mini category added to FIA Motorsport Games 2024
Karting enthusiasts will have an expanded opportunity to showcase their talent at the upcoming FIA Motorsport Games 2024 with the introduction of a new category, Karting Mini, that offers young karting talents the chance to compete on an international platform.
The 2024 Games, taking place October 23-27 in Valencia, Spain, will feature a range of competitions, including Karting Endurance, Karting Sprint Junior and Karting Sprint Senior. The events are integral parts of the third edition of the games, which will host 26 categories of motorsport competition.
CIK-FIA president, Akbar Ebrahim, said, “In 2022 karting was one of the disciplines in the FIA Motorsport Games that saw over-subscription from competitors excited to represent their nation.
“Based on this, the 2024 edition will now include an additional class in the Mini category. With this inclusion, we expect over 116 karting participants in Valencia, 44 Mini, 36 Junior, 36 Senior, plus 24 teams in Endurance.
“We continue to see growth in the arrival-and-drive concept, be it leisure kart or FIA-CIK-approved or homologated equipment. This concept opens up the sport to a wider demographic giving opportunities to even more talented drivers. It is great to see its popularity continuing, and it is definitely here to stay.”
The Karting competitions will take place on an unique configuration of the Aspar Circuit, located just 25km away from Valencia, with track action beginning on Friday, October 25 and concluding Sunday, October 27.
