The mission

Racing for Research

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.

Where the money goes

KF1 Contribution
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.
Team Contribution
In addition, every participating team commits to donating one euro for every lap completed across all four race heats. The team makes this donation directly to one of the Official Charity Beneficiaries of the competition.
Transparency
After each event, KF1 will publish the verified race results, completed lap totals, charitable amounts generated and the beneficiary organisations.
Official Charity Beneficiaries
FFC Ricerca is the first confirmed Official Charity Beneficiary. A second Official Charity Beneficiary will be announced shortly. Teams may choose between the official beneficiaries of the competition for their lap-based donation.
