Live timing: FIA Karting European Championship - OK & OKJ and Academy Senior at Portimao

With many years of experience organising major FIA Karting events, the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve will host the opening round of the brand new Senior Academy Trophy to be organised over three competitions in 2025. After a successful launch in Spain, the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championships - OK and OK-Junior - will continue at the circuit in southern Portugal for a second meeting that promises plenty of intensity and spectacle from 1st to 4th May. A total of 232 drivers are racing in these three categories at Portimao.

With the Senior Academy Trophy, the CIK-FIA is opening a new chapter in its history. The International Federation has chosen to duplicate the concept launched for Juniors (12-14 year-olds) in 2010, which has been a resounding success over 16 seasons. Selected by their ASN, 36 drivers aged between 14 and 16, representing 36 nationalities, will be competing on Exprit / Vortex equipment supplied by OTK Kart Group in a draw, with Maxxis ‘option’ tyres. Sporting equity will be guaranteed, with the aim of promoting talent from all over the world. The suits and gloves for the drivers, as well as the clothing for their mechanics, will be provided free of charge by partner OMP Racing Force. The drivers will all be grouped together in the paddock in identical awnings supplied and installed by FIA Karting. They are all dreaming of a place on the Portuguese podium, and it doesn't seem easy at this stage to single out any favourites.
