Ronco Scrivia (Genova, Italy) – Racing Force Group is pleased to confirm that its OMP brand has been selected by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) as the exclusive supplier of suits and apparel for the drivers competing in the FIA Karting Academy Trophy Junior and FIA Karting Academy Trophy Senior championships for the three-year period 2025-2027.
The FIA World Automobile Council, drawing on proposals from the International Karting Commission, evaluated OMP's bid as the best of all those received through the application process. For OMP, this is the continuation of a relationship that began with the 2017 edition of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy, a single-management karting series created to offer drivers between 12 and 14 years of age to compete on an international stage with identical technical equipment, giving everyone the same opportunities.
Building on its success, with more than 50 entrants in the 2024 campaign, OMP's commitment will double with the creation of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy Senior, to which boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 16 will be admitted. On the track, drivers will be equipped with KS-ART suits, while in the paddock they will wear dedicated OMP technical clothing that combines style, comfort and performance.
Last season, the Junior title was won by Belgian Gilles Herman after the three rounds at the circuits of Val D'Argenton (France), Slovak Karting Center (Slovakia) and Kristianstad (Denmark). In 2025, the new FIA Karting Academy Trophy Senior will kick off with the Portimão (Portugal) round on May 1-4, to be followed by events in Viterbo (Italy) on June 5-8 and Rødby (Denmark) on July 31-August 3. The FIA Karting Academy Trophy Junior, on the other hand, will begin from Valencia (Spain) on May 15-18, continuing in Mülsen (Germany) on July 17-20 and Cremona (Italy) on September 26-28.
Corrado Audisio, Sales Senior Manager of Racing Force Group, commented: “We are extremely proud to have been chosen once again by the FIA as exclusive suppliers for the FIA Karting Academy Trophy, carrying on a link that began in 2017 and has allowed OMP to strengthen its presence at the top of international karting. For the next three years, our commitment to this important project will be even more significant, thanks to the supply of suits and technical apparel for the new Senior category. Our mission is always to support young motorsport talents with products that combine protection, comfort, performance and style during every moment of the race weekend.”
