Morgan Zammit Makes History with OKN-J Karting Championship Victory in Sicily

Maltese karting driver Morgan Zammit has made history by becoming the first Maltese competitor to win the OKN-J championship in Sicily, completing an extraordinary comeback season.

Zammit ended the 2026 Campionato Karting Sicilia in spectacular fashion, securing pole position, victory in the pre-final and another win in the final race.

Competing in the demanding OKN-J category for the first time, Zammit dominated the championship, recording the most victories and clean sweeps while achieving podium finishes in every race.

The achievement carries particular significance following a serious accident that previously kept Zammit away from racing and threatened to end the youngster's sporting ambitions.

Following the championship triumph, Zammit expressed immense gratitude towards supporters, particularly Dino, mechanic Leo and family members, whose dedication and sacrifices proved instrumental throughout the season.

Zammit also congratulated championship runner-up Vito Laudicina for his sportsmanship and competitive performances.

Despite the celebrations, another challenge awaits, with Zammit preparing to undergo further surgery related to the previous accident.

Nevertheless, the determined Maltese driver remains committed to returning stronger and continuing the racing journey.

The historic championship victory represents a remarkable achievement for Maltese motorsport, highlighting Zammit's resilience, determination and exceptional talent on the international karting stage.
