Since 2003

It all began with a plaque

In October 2003, the first 24-hour corporate kart challenge created in Italy for Telethon marked the beginning of the KF1 story. The format has since involved more than 150 companies and 11,000 participants and guests. Tunisia 2027 will open its first international chapter.

Where the money goes

The race is the challenge.
Research is the goal.

The fundraising programme combines two separate and complementary contributions. KF1 will donate the main amount generated through the event to the Official Charity Beneficiaries. In addition, each team will make a direct donation calculated at one euro for every lap completed during the race.

After each event, KF1 will publish verified results, completed laps, charitable amounts and beneficiaries.
