The Champions of the Future Academy Program returns in 2025, continuing to shape the next generation of racing talent. The season kicks off in Portimão on February 28, spanning for six rounds of top-level karting in OK-N Senior, OK-N Junior and Mini 60. More than a competition, this program is a gateway to a professional career in motorsport.

After two action-packed days, everything led to Super Heats and Finals in Valencia. The Super Heats offered drivers a final opportunity to secure the best possible grid position for the ultimate showdown. Then, in the Finals, the top contenders went head-to-head in a battle for victory. With daring overtakes, intense last-lap fights, and standout performances, the IAME Winter Cup 2025 came to a breathtaking conclusion, capping off an unforgettable weekend of racing.

As in 2023, the FIA Karting prize-giving ceremony took place in Nice, France, on Saturday 7th December at the Hyatt Regency Palais de la Méditerranée. The karts of the three World Champions were displayed to the guests.

The magnificent Al Forsan International Sport kart circuit and its spectacular layout brought the first season of the Champions of the Future Academy Programme to a close in the sunshine and heat of the United Arab Emirates. The 'arrive and drive' concept of the programme is set to become a benchmark in the world of karting. In the presence of eminent motorsport personalities, Spain's Luna Fluxa Cross in the Senior class, Australia's James Anagnostiadis in the Junior class and Belgium's Priam Bruno in the Mini class received their 2024 Champions trophies.

Since its creation, the IWF has continually produced top-level finals, bringing together drivers from all over the world on IAME-powered karts that have been proving their worth for many years. Held in Zuera, Spain, the 2024 edition of the IAME Warrior Final crowned four talented drivers after epic duels: Many Nuvolini in X30 Mini, Kenzo Craigie in X30 Junior, Eduardo Dominguez Espinosa in X30 Senior and John Norris in X30 Master.
