    The following is a list of international kart racing champions in classes sanctioned by the CIK-FIA since 2007, when KF and KZ regulations were introduced to international competition.[1] Original Kart replaced KF as the direct-drive regulation in 2016, also when OK-Junior replaced its KF-Junior counterpart.[2] KZ—formerly known as KZ1—and KZ2 have remained the gearbox classes.[3] Academy and 60 Mini have since been introduced as junior categories by the CIK-FIA in 2010 and 2020, respectively.[4][5]

    IAME classes also feature prominently on the international kart racing calendar,[note 1] as well as the Rotax Max Challenge (2000–present),[note 2] which operate under manufacturer-designated classes. The inaugural editions of several competitions pre-date this list: Karting World Championship (1964),[6] Karting European Championship (1970),[7] Trofeo delle Industrie (1971),[8] Karting Asia-Pacific Championship (1981),[9] Andrea Margutti Trophy (1990),[10] CIK-FIA Viking Trophy (1990),[11] Monaco Kart Cup (1995),[12] South Garda Winter Cup (1996),[13] and WSK International Series (2006).[14]

    The superkart category also pre-dates the list, reaching the international stage as early as 1976.[15] Several national championships have also held international classes.[note 3] Marco Ardigò won a record 22 international titles from 2007—including three World and three European Championships—until his retirement in 2019,[a] followed by Max Verstappen's 13 titles from 2010 to 2013. Since 2007, Italian drivers have won 183 titles—91 of which are in the gearbox classes—with British drivers on 108, and Dutch drivers on 69. Three women feature on this list: Beitske Visser,[note 4] Marta García,[note 5] and Luna Fluxá.[note 6]

    KF1—replaced by Super-KF (SKF) from 2009 to 2010—was the primary direct-drive class in CIK-FIA competition from 2007 to 2012 for drivers aged 15 and over.[24][25] Super-KF differed from KF1 with non-homologated engines, whilst retaining the free chassis, brakes, and tyres.[26] It hosted the World Championship in each year of its existence bar 2010, where it was replaced by KF2.[27]
