'''60 Mini''', also known simply as '''Mini''' or '''Minikart''', is a [[kart racing]] class sanctioned by the {{nowrap|[[CIK-FIA]]}} for drivers aged eight to 12. Debuting in [[List of kart racing championships#Active international championships|international competition]] in 2020, {{nowrap|60 Mini}} is the only under-12 [[direct-drive]] class [[homologation (motorsport)|homologated]] by the FIA, as well as the only to not host a [[Karting World Championship|World]] or [[Karting European Championship|European Championship]].

The 60&nbsp;[[Engine displacement|cc]] Mini class originated in [[List of kart racing championships#Italy|Italy]] in 1984. Its prominence in major championships led to its recognition by the CIK-FIA in 2020, serving as a feeder category to [[OK-Junior]] and [[OKN-Junior]]. Several notable drivers have started their international careers in 60 Mini, including [[Formula One]] drivers [[Andrea Kimi Antonelli]] and [[Gabriel Bortoleto]].

[[ACI Sport]] have also recognised the '''Mini Gr.3''' class since 2023—using [[Italian American Motor Engineering|IAME]] 60 Mini engines. The ACI also operate a '''Mini U10''' class for drivers aged 10 and under. '''Mini ROK''' is another [[one-design racing|single-manufacturer]] category operated by [[Vortex Engines|Vortex]]. The development of the class has led to concerns about young driver safety, prompting the FIA to regulate its lap times from 2026 onwards.
