The WSK Super Master Series, formerly known as the WSK Master Series, is a kart racing competition organised by WSK Promotion and sanctioned by ACI Sport. Hosted annually since 2010, it is one of 11 competitions on the international kart racing calendar in CIK-FIA classes.

The five-round championship is held across Italy in six classes: OK, OK-J, KZ2, OKN-J, Mini Gr.3, and U10. It was previously contested in KZ, KF, and KF-J.

Notable champions have included four Formula One drivers: Antonio Giovinazzi (2010–2011, KF2), Max Verstappen (2012, KF2; 2013, KZ2), Andrea Kimi Antonelli (2019, OK-J), and Arvid Lindblad (2020, OK-J). Verstappen became the first champion to progress to win the Formula One World Drivers' Championship in 2021. Marco Ardigò won a record five titles in the gearbox category between 2012 and 2018. Beitske Visser (2010, KZ2) is the only female champion.

History

The WSK Master Series was founded by WSK Promotion in 2010 as an three-round championship across Italy in KF2, KF3, KZ2, with non-scoring rounds in 60 Mini.[1] In KZ2, Beitske Visser became the first female champion of the series.[2] It was renamed the WSK Super Master Series in 2014.[3] Since 2025, it has served as the season-opening competition in CIK-FIA classes, following the demise of the South Garda Winter Cup and the WSK Champions Cup, with 552 entrants in six classes: OK, OK-J, KZ2, OKN-J, Mini Gr.3, and U10.[4]
