The Mission
The KF1 Challenge was created around a clear mission: to turn competition into a meaningful contribution to research. From the very beginning, the project has combined the spirit of endurance racing with a transparent commitment to charitable giving, ensuring that the contribution generated by the event can be clearly measured and communicated.
Since 2003
“An appetite for challenge, competition and success is often part of our philosophy of life. Being able to dedicate even a small part of our daily lives to the community, knowing that even a small part of what we achieve through our work goes to those less fortunate than us, to those who sadly had no choice, to those who need our help, is an awareness that gives more value and more light to every single day and honours the very meaning of success.”

Where the money goes
KF1 will donate the principal charitable amount generated through declared allocations from team entry fees, selected optional services and sponsorship agreements. The applicable fixed amounts or percentages will be communicated in advance.
In addition, every participating team commits to donating one euro for every lap completed across all three race heats. The team makes this donation directly to one of the Official Charity Beneficiaries of the competition.
After each event, KF1 will publish the verified race results, completed lap totals, charitable amounts generated and the beneficiary organisations.
Racing for Research
The Official Charity Beneficiaries of the competition are FFC Ricerca and Fondazione Telethon. Teams may choose between the official beneficiaries of the competition for their lap-based donation.
