Due to the logistical challenges associated with the ongoing geopolitical situation in the Gulf, it has not been possible to stage this year's World Championship in Bahrain as planned.

We would like to thank Bahrain Motor Federation (BMF) for their ongoing cooperation and support in recent months as we explored every possibility to stage the event in the Kingdom this year.


We look forward to hosting the flagship event of the FIA Karting season in Italy later this year, as the future stars of our sport compete for the illustrious FIA Karting World Champion title.
