Classes competing at this event

Championships feature a number of different classes based on driver age and kart specification. Each class has its own races within the meeting.

Mini-60

8-12

Cadet

International CIK-FIA sanctioned kart racing class for drivers aged 8 to 12, featuring 60cc 2-stroke engines producing roughly 8–10 HP. As a premier, highly competitive feeder category, it is known for producing future talent, such as Max Verstappen, and is designed to teach advanced racecraft, technical adjustment skills, and high-speed cornering.

OKN-Junior

12-14

Junior

It has been talked about since the beginning of the OK-N project, and the OKN-Junior is now a reality. Full-scale tests have enabled the CIK-FIA to validate the definition of the OKN-Junior engine to extend the OKN’s field of action to younger drivers as easily as possible, with a simple exhaust flange. A single engine unit can therefore power drivers in both categories of the most accessible competition offered by the CIK-FIA for national markets.

OKN-Senior

15+

Senior

OK-National (OK-N) is an FIA-sanctioned, international direct-drive karting class launched in 2023 to provide a more affordable, competitive, and technically accessible path for national-level drivers aged 15+
