OKN-Junior (OKN-J) is a kart racing class sanctioned by the CIK-FIA for drivers aged 12 to 14. Debuting in international competition in 2023, OKN-J is the secondary junior direct-drive class in FIA championships.
Approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council in 2022, OKN-J was designed as a simplified version of OK-Junior regulations to reduce costs for competitors. The class debuted in international competition the following year, being contested in several championships across Europe and the Middle East.
Its inaugural World Cup is due to be held in 2025—with qualifying decided via national championships held in various countries. The Arrive & Drive World Cup is also set to host its first edition in 2025, using a modified OKN-J engine in a single-design format.
