After two days of sporting checks for the drivers, the RMC Grand Finals 2025 officially kicked-off today with one of the most iconic moments: the unveiling of all 394 brand-new karts lined up in a perfect formation. An impressive display prepared by the Rotax Teams and the Chassis Partners during last night – every kart stood perfectly aligned, showcasing the dedication behind the scenes.

As in 2024, the magnificent Al Forsan International Sports Resort circuit in Abu Dhabi will have the honour of bringing Season 2 of the 2025 Champions of the Future Academy Program to a spectacular conclusion. From 1st to 3rd December, the three categories OK-N Senior, OK-N Junior and Mini will feature extremely competitive fields, proof of the appeal of the ‘Arrive and Drive’ concept implemented by RGMMC.

The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team™ is proud to announce that 17-year-old German racing talent Mathilda Paatz will represent the team as its driver for the 2026 F1 Academy season. Mathilda, a rising star from Cologne, will compete with PREMA Racing in the fourth season of the all-female series, sporting the iconic green Aston Martin Aramco livery.

PREMA Racing will be competing in the 2025 Formula Trophy championship with a three-car lineup. The F4-based series, which expanded the previous single-race format in 2024, returns for its second season with a three-round calendar beginning this weekend at Dubai Autodrome.

In the United Arab Emirates, numerous drivers took part in the fifth and penultimate round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program, confirming the success of the series and its "arrive and drive" concept. The objective of complete sporting fairness was once again achieved, allowing drivers to make their mark in a high-level competition, organised with rigour and professionalism by RGMMC.
