The 2025 Champions of the Future Academy Program has just reached the halfway point of the season and continues to produce exciting and thrilling racing. The illustrious Jesolo circuit hosted lively races and confirmed the legitimacy of the "arrive and drive" system promoted by RGMMC. In Italy, several new drivers, both male and female, celebrated their first podium finishes in the series. 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). So it’s with great anticipation and excitement that the many drivers involved will be returning to RGMMC’s innovative concept of an ‘arrive and drive’ competition designed to reveal and detect young talent in three distinct age groups: Mini, Junior and Senior. Scheduled from 4th to 6th July 2025, the next competition will take place on the legendary Jesolo circuit, long regarded as the temple of karting. 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.
