Vega S.r.L., a leading manufacturer of tyres for competition karting, has been strongly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Its headquarters and main factory are located in northern Italy in Saronno in the province of Varese. Vega also has another production site in the south of France. At the beginning of May 2020, Paolo and Stefano Mantese both gave their views and analyses on the situation of Vega and kart racing in general.​

As planned, the CIK-FIA has proceeded with the homologation of the chassis, bodywork, brakes, engines, ignition systems, carburettors, intake silencers and tyres for the Group 3 Mini equipment. This approval has been effective since 1st January 2020. The aim is to provide a common technical framework that can be relied on by the ASNs for the different categories dedicated to young Drivers in many countries.
