The Italian factory will be protagonist of the new competition, organized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), with the aim of making the access to karting easier worldwide, by supplying Kosmic Kart chassis and Vortex Engines
OTK Kart Group is pleased to announce its participation in the first edition of the FIA ‘Arrive & Drive’ Karting World Cup GKP, as exclusive technical supplier. The new competition, promoted by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), is part of the Global Karting Plan initiative, which aims to increase participation in karting on a global scale.
For the FIA Karting World Cup GKP, the ‘Arrive & Drive’ formula will be adopted: each driver will come to the track with his or her own personal sports equipment and will receive a complete kart by OTK Kart Group for the duration of the event, an ideal solution to keep participation costs down. The event will be divided into two categories, Junior (12-14 years) and Senior (14-19 years), each with a maximum number of 54 entrants.
OTK Kart Group, which has always offered the highest quality standards with its products, will be called upon to supply identical technical material to all participants. Specifically, it will provide Kosmic Kart chassis (the new Kosmic Mercury T model) and Vortex engines (the SV engines for the Senior category and SV Junior for the Junior category).
Besides being the exclusive supplier, OTK Kart Group will also take care of technical assistance on the track during the whole weekend, offering support to all participants exactly as it has been doing for the past 10 years with the FIA Karting Academy Trophy, of which the Italian company is a technical partner.
The winner of the Senior of the FIA ‘Arrive & Drive’ Karting World Cup GKP will receive a scholarship to support a possible move to Formula 4, while the Junior champion will get a budget contribution to be used in the following season of the FIA Karting Championship.
The first edition of the FIA Karting World Cup GKP ‘Arrive & Drive’ will take place from 14-16 November 2025 at the LYL International Circuit, near Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
