The '''CIK-FIA Monaco Kart Cup''' was a [[kart racing]] competition organised by the [[Automobile Club de Monaco|ACM]] and sanctioned by the [[CIK-FIA]], taking place at the [[Circuit de Monaco]], [[Monte Carlo]].

Founded in 1995, the event was contested until 2010 by drivers in junior and senior classes. The [[kart circuit]] followed [[Port Hercules]] of the famous [[Formula One]] track, including corners such as ''Tabac'', ''La Piscine'' and ''La Rascasse''. The junior race was known as the '''Junior Monaco Grand Prix'''{{efn|{{langx|fr|Grand Prix de Monaco Junior}}}} from 2006 to 2010.

Notable winners of the Monaco Kart Cup include [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship|Formula One World Drivers' Champion]]s [[Michael Schumacher]] and [[Sebastian Vettel]], as well as other Formula One drivers [[Robert Kubica]], [[Carlos Sainz Jr.]] and [[Charles Leclerc]].

== History ==

=== Early years (1995–2000) ===

[[File:2009 KZ2 Monaco Kart Cup.jpg|thumb|The starting grid for the 2009 CIK-FIA Monaco Kart Cup KZ2 race]]

The Monaco Kart Cup was founded in 1995 by the [[Automobile Club de Monaco]]. It was initially contested in the [[direct-drive]] [[KF1|Formula A (FA)]] and [[KF3|Junior Intercontinental A (ICA-J)]] classes, as well as the [[gearbox]] [[KZ2|Intercontinental C (ICC)]] class. The inaugural FA event was won by Nicola Gianniberti, with [[Éric Salignon]] winning the junior event and Portuguese driver Jaime Correia winning the ICC race.

In 1996, reigning two-time [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship|Formula One World Drivers' Champion]] [[Michael Schumacher]] entered the senior FA class, dominating the final to add the Monaco Kart Cup to his racing accolades.

The 1997 edition saw Salignon add to his 1995 title by winning the senior class, becoming the only driver to win in both the junior and the senior classes at the Monaco Kart Cup. Gianluca Beggio secured his second consecutive ICC title, adding to his five [[Karting World Championship|World Championship]]s and three [[Karting European Championship|European Championship]]s. The gearbox class was discontinued after the 1999 edition, not returning until 2009.

[[Robert Kubica]] took back-to-back junior titles in 1998 and 1999, becoming the first—and to this date, only—driver to win multiple Junior Monaco Kart Cups. [[Jérôme d'Ambrosio]] ended his reign in 2000, beating [[Michael Ammermüller]] and [[Carlo van Dam]] to the title.

=== Expansion and first cancellation (2001–2005) ===

The '''Monaco Stars Cup''' was hosted in 2001 and 2002 as an [[all-star game|all-star race]], won by [[Formula One]] drivers [[Gianni Morbidelli]] and [[Giorgio Pantano]], respectively. The one-off '''Challenge Star Team''' was also contested in 2001, won by Italian driver Stefano Tilly. That year's junior event saw future four-time [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship|Formula One World Drivers' Champion]] [[Sebastian Vettel]]'s victory, adding to his [[Karting European Championship|European Championship]] that season.

The 2002 Monaco Kart Cup saw the introduction of the '''6 Hours of Monte Carlo''', a six-hour [[kart racing#Endurance|endurance race]] around the Principality, held continuously until the final meeting in 2010. It was also the final year of the senior direct-drive FA class, with Benjamin Horstman successfully defending his 2001 title; [[Alexander Sims (racing driver)|Alexander Sims]] took the junior crown.

From 2003 to 2004, development work to the harbour at [[Port Hercules]] saw the cancellation of the event in those years.<ref name="cancelled">{{Cite web|url=https://www.vroomkart.com/news/9639/cancellation-monaco-kart-cup|title=Cancellation of the Monaco Kart Cup|website=Vroom Kart|date=26 July 2011|access-date=21 September 2024}}</ref> The 2005 edition saw the introduction of the '''Monaco Four-Stroke Contest''', using 250cc [[four-stroke engine]]s. The one-off '''Monaco Rok Up''' was also contested that year, won by Swiss driver Antonio Ruggiero.

=== Junior Monaco Grand Prix and second cancellation (2006–2010) ===

The Junior Monaco Kart Cup was revived in 2006 as the '''Junior Monaco Grand Prix''', now running as the primary class. Scott Jenkins beat compatriot [[Oliver Rowland]], driving for Intrepid. 

The all-star race returned in [[electric go-kart|electric kart]]s in 2007 as the one-off '''Monaco Elec-Kart Trophy''', won by [[1998 24 Hours of Le Mans]] winner [[Stéphane Ortelli]], becoming the first Monégasque driver to win an individual event at the Monaco Kart Cup. The junior class was contested under the newly-established [[KF3]] regulations, won by Max Goff.

The senior gearbox class returned in 2009, replacing the four-stroke event and running the secondary [[KZ2]] regulations. French driver Anthony Abbasse won the first KZ2 event, with [[Carlos Sainz Jr.]] winning the Junior Monaco Grand Prix.

2010—the final year of the event—saw hometown hero [[Charles Leclerc]] take the KF3 crown ahead of [[Dennis Olsen (racing driver)|Dennis Olsen]] and [[Pierre Gasly]]. The KZ2 race was won by [[Norman Nato]], driving for [[CRG (kart manufacturer)|CRG]]. The 2011 edition was cancelled due to unspecified technical reasons, marking the end of the Monaco Kart Cup.<ref name="cancelled"></ref>

== Circuit ==

{{Mainarticle|Circuit de Monaco}}

[[File:Circuit de Monaco Kart.jpg|thumb|The [[Circuit de Monaco]] kart circuit during the 2008 CIK-FIA Monaco Kart Cup]]

The Monaco Kart Cup was contested at the [[Circuit de Monaco]], a [[street circuit]] in [[Monte Carlo]], home of the [[Formula One]] [[Monaco Grand Prix]] since [[1929 Monaco Grand Prix|1929]]. The track featured the port complex of the Grand Prix circuit—''Tabac'', ''La Piscine'' and ''La Rascasse''—as well as the Formula One [[pit lane]]. The exit of the pit lane was connected to the port via a ramp and a [[hairpin corner]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vroomkart.com/news/1742/13th-monaco-kart-cup|website=Vroom Karting|title=13th Monaco Kart Cup - Vroom Karting|date=17 September 2009|access-date=24 September 2024}}</ref>

=== Junior direct-drive class (1995–2010) ===
