There are approximately 280 provisional entered drivers across the MINI U10, MINI Gr.3, OK-N, OK-N Junior, and KZ2 categories. These extraordinary numbers confirm the great success of this event, which has been on the calendar since 1990 and is organized by Parma Motorsport.
One of the most attended international events.
Established in memory of the young Andrea Margutti, the Trophy confirms its status once again this year as one of the most popular international events, with drivers from approximately 40 countries competing among the fields of the most important and qualified teams.
Great participation in all categories.
Among the most numerous entries for this 37th edition, the OK-N and OK-N Junior categories stand out with a total of about 160 drivers. This represents a new record for these two relatively new national categories within the Andrea Margutti Trophy since they were first adopted by Parma Motorsport. Participation in KZ2 is also excellent, with around 60 of the most competitive international drivers, as well as in MINI, with 60 youngsters across the MINI U10 and Gr.3 categories.
A lot of protagonists in the 2026 edition.
Among the main protagonists of this 37th Andrea Margutti Trophy: in KZ2, defending champion Cristian Bertuca returns with the Birelart Racing team, having won the 2023 and 2025 editions. In OK-N, defending champion Manuel Scognamiglio stands out, competing with the Pantano by DAM team, where he will face many of the category’s strongest rivals. In OK-NJ, the influx of drivers moving from MINI to this category—ideal for the growth of young talents —continues. In both MINI categories, the competition features many talented protagonists.
