Kiano's journey began in 2017 with two DAI Trophy titles in karting, marking the start of a path that continues to drive him. From the Italian WSK to the Trofeo d'Autunno and Trofeo Primavera, each race shaped him, with his father supporting him as his mechanic. In 2020, Kiano made the leap to the German Junior Kart Championship with TB Racing. In 2021, he was named Rookie Champion of the Year, followed by a runner-up finish in 2022. These successes paved the way for his move to Team DPK FA Alonso, supported by Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso. Kiano earned podiums in the WSK, European Championship, and Champions of the Future in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, he joined iD Racing in the Porsche SIXT Carrera Cup Deutschland, becoming the youngest driver in the field, securing two Rookie podiums and his first top-ten finish. In 2025, Kiano was selected for the Porsche Talent Pool, one of only eight drivers worldwide, and joined the Ford Racing Driver Development Team for 2026.
Awards like "Best Young Karting Driver" and "50 Future Stars" inspire Kiano to continue pursuing his motorsport dream with full passion.
FORD RACING DEVELOPMENT DRIVER
Becoming a Ford Racing Development Driver marked one of the most meaningful moments in Kiano’s young career. After years of pushing through every category with determination, Ford selected him as one of only four development drivers in Europe, a responsibility that goes far beyond carrying a manufacturer’s badge. The program is designed to shape future factory drivers, giving them access to elite coaching, data-driven performance development, and the opportunity to grow within one of motorsport’s most iconic brands. For Kiano, it represents trust, recognition, and a new level of purpose. It is the moment where his childhood dream meets a professional pathway, and where every lap becomes part of something bigger than himself.
