Due to the global health concerns regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus), the CIK-FIA has modified the FIA Karting 2020 sporting calendar accordingly. The Competition of Genk (BEL) counting for the FIA Karting European Championship - KZ & KZ2 and for the FIA Karting Academy Trophy initially scheduled for 18^th-21st June has been postponed to 3^rd-6th September.

Due to the fact that the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) has postponed two major events on its calendar, it will no longer organise the FIA Karting World Championship - KZ, the FIA Karting International Super Cup – KZ2, the third Competition of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy and the FIA Karting Historic Super Cup initially scheduled to take place in Le Mans (FRA) from 10th to 13th September 2020. The World Championship will now be held in Lonato.

Originally, the FIA ​​Karting Academy Trophy included an educational part that was evaluated on interactive kiosks before each Competition.  In 2019, youth training made a comeback through an effective collaboration with Formula Medicine. Formula Medicine is a Driver training organisation created more than 30 years ago by Dr. Riccardo Ceccarelli. It is characterised by extraordinary experience and a scientific approach based on solid medical bases and constant evolution. Its area of ​​expertise ranges from karting to Formula 1, having worked with more than 1,500 drivers, around 200 each year.
