Monaco Kart Cup
The CIK-FIA Monaco Kart Cup was a kart racing competition organised by the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) and sanctioned by the Commission Internationale de Karting (CIK-FIA) at the Circuit de Monaco in La Condamine, Monaco.
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 from 2006 to 2010.
Notable winners of the Monaco Kart Cup include Formula One World Drivers' Champions Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, as well as other Formula One drivers Robert Kubica, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc.
The Monaco Kart Cup was founded in 1995 by the Automobile Club de Monaco. It was initially contested in the direct-drive Formula A (FA) and Junior Intercontinental A (ICA-J) classes, as well as the gearbox 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' 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 World Championships and three European Championships. 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.
The Monaco Stars Cup was hosted in 2001 and 2002 as an 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' Champion Sebastian Vettel's victory, adding to his European Championship that season.
