Third and final round of the FIA European Championship KZ and KZ2 this week at the German circuit of Mülsen.

Located near the major German cities of Dresden and Leipzig, the Motorsport Arena-E circuit in Mülsen will host an FIA Karting event for the first time in its history from 17th to 20th July 2025.

The next three events, to be held in Europe and the United Arab Emirates, promise to be wide open.

Several weeks have passed since the first two rounds of the Champions of the Future Academy Program were held in Portimao (Portugal) and Valencia (Spain).

Located in the north-east of Italy, close to Venice, it has hosted the greatest international events and seen the exploits of thousands of drivers, including the late Ayrton Senna.
