The '''FIA Karting World Championship''', officially known as the '''Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship''' for sponsorship reasons, is a [[kart racing]] competition organised by the [[CIK-FIA]]. Hosted annually since 1964, it is widely regarded as the most prestigious [[List of kart racing championships|karting competition]] in the world.

Alongside the [[Karting European Championship]], it is one of two major karting competitions sanctioned by the FIA. In recent years, the World Championship has been hosted as a single event, where the European Championship is contested across a season. The championship is notable for being the only [[List of FIA championships|FIA World Championship]] with a female champion: Italian driver [[Susanna Raganelli]] in 1966. Two past World Champions have progressed to win the [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship]]: [[Max Verstappen]] (2013, [[KZ (karting)|KZ]]) and [[Lando Norris]] (2014, [[KF2|KF]]).{{efn-num|[[Alain Prost]] (1973, Junior), [[Fernando Alonso]] (1996, [[ICA-J]]), and [[Lewis Hamilton]] (2000, [[KF1|FA]]) each won World Cups in their respective secondary classes, but are not recognised as World Champions.}}

As of 2024, the World Championship is held across three [[direct-drive]] and three [[gearbox]] classes. The primary direct-drive class is [[OK (karting)|OK]], and the primary gearbox class is [[KZ1 (karting)|KZ]]. Secondary classes at the World Championship have traditionally been hosted as the '''Karting World Cup'''—which was historically a separate event at [[Suzuka Circuit|Suzuka]] from 1991 to 2000—or '''International Super Cup'''.

== History ==
The CIK-FIA Karting World Championship was first held in 1964, making it the second-oldest [[FIA World Championship]] after the [[Formula One World Championship]].<ref>{{cite web | title=The first KF1 World Championship | date=13 September 2007 | url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/pressrel/the-first-kf1-world-championship/ }}</ref>

Before the CIK-FIA began officially sanctioning a World Championship in 1964, the Grand Prix Kart Club of America (GPKCA) held its own World Championship. In December 1959, the GPKCA organised a one-week international meeting in Nassau, Bahamas, offering significant prize money. The American driver Jim Yamane became the first winner. Subsequent GPKCA World Championships adopted a multi-round format and included circuits such as Shenington in the United Kingdom and Pista Rossi in Italy.

The first two CIK-FIA World Championships in 1964 and 1965 were held over one final round, there after the world's best kart drivers competed for the title over an extended weekend, from Thursday to Saturday, including free and qualifying practice sessions, qualification heats, a pre-final and a final were common. The championship is notable for having the only female FIA World Champion with Susanna Raganelli winning the 1966 World Championship.

From 2011 the championship has been disputed over five rounds, each of them in a different country.<ref>{{in lang|en|fr}} [http://www.cikfia.com/web/karting/webkarting.nsf/A812CED52B4D8A21C1257848004AAFBE/$FILE/Media%20communiqué%20mondial%202011.pdf Full grids guaranteed in the World Championship!]{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} – CIK-FIA Press release</ref> From 2014 the world championships returned to a single event with one venue each year organizing the CIK-FIA OK and OK Junior World Championships in one weekend and another venue in a different weekend holding the CIK-FIA KZ World Championships together with the CIK-FIA KZ2 Super Cup and the third and final round of the CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vroomkart.com/news/34965/world-championship-with-one-single-race-yes-or-no|title=World Championship with one single race ... yes or no? &#124; Kart News|date=16 March 2019|website=www.vroomkart.com|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref> There is a separate CIK-FIA Endurance Championship, normally held each year at [[Le Mans]], [[France]], and there are separate Continental Championships like the [[CIK-FIA Karting European Championship|CIK-FIA European Championships]] (OK, OK junior, KZ, KZ2 and Superkart) and the CIK-FIA Asia Pacific Championships. In 1968 CIK-FIA launched the first World Cup for Juniors.

== Categories ==

From 1981 to 1987 the World Championship was raced only with 135&nbsp;cc Formula K Engines. Before and after the short inaugural return to 100 cc (1988 and 1989 with Formula SuperCent (FS100) a category that anticipated the so-called Formula Super A) the 100&nbsp;cc direct-drive karts was the prevailing standard. In 2007, a change in regulations introduced the [[KF1]] category carts, 125&nbsp;cc karts equipped with electric starters, clutch and rpm limiters set at {{val|16000}}&nbsp;rpm, to replace the Formula A karts. The 2010 edition was raced with [[KF2]] karts where the [[Revolutions per minute|engine rpm]] is limited at {{val|15000}}&nbsp;rpm.<ref>[http://www.kartcafe.it/content.php?157-CIK-FIA-World-Karting-Championship-For-Drivers-Zuera-(ESP)-16-19.09.2010&commentid=144579 CIK World Karting Championship For Drivers Zuera (ESP) – 16–19.09.2010]{{Dead link|date=March 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} – KartCafe, 16 September 2010</ref>

The FIA Karting categories at the world championships are now divided into three main families: direct-drive karts, gearbox karts and Superkarts. All these karts have the technology in common of the 2-stroke engine. Since 2016 the new generation of Original Karts (OK) machines have taken over from the old KF engines. The top category OK at the World Championships is available for drivers from 14 years old in the year they participate. The OK Junior category is aimed at drivers aged between 12 and 14 years old. The gearbox categories [[KZ1 (karting)|KZ]] and [[KZ2]] share the same specification except for chassis and brakes which are open in the KZ World Championship. The Superkart category is the most unusual discipline of Karting because it can only express itself fully on long racing tracks. With its complete bodywork and twin-cylinder 250&nbsp;cc engines, developing nearly {{cvt|100|hp|kW}}, these Superkarts are capable of extraordinary performances.

== Karting promotion ==

In 2013 for the first time in its history CIK-FIA called a promoter, WSK Promotion, to perfect the organisation of the major international karting competitions.
The Swiss RGMMC Group is now the Official Promoter of the FIA Karting European and World Championships for the period of 2018-2020 (with the exception of Superkart and Endurance). They try increasing the audience for Karting Competitions worldwide, attracting new partners and working closely with ASNs (National Federations), these are the priorities of RGMMC Group. They also develop the communication and media coverage of the events by providing live video viewing during the events and by partnering with Motorsport.tv for broadcast around the world.

From 2022 all the events of the FIA Karting World Championship were sponsored by the website Mondokart.com and the official name of the competition become MONDOKART.COM FIA KARTING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=FIA Karting 2022 Title Sponsorship Mondokart.com |url=https://www.fiakarting.com/news/mondokart-becomes-title-sponsor-fia-karting-world-championships |access-date=2022-12-16 |website=www.fiakarting.com}}</ref>
