The FIM is delighted to announce the involvement next season of Picasso Engineering in the FIM Flat Track World Championship powered by HKC Koopmann, Anlas, Kineo and Blackburst.
The Swiss company, specialists in advanced engineering solutions for the automotive sector, will use the high-profile championship to promote its first motorcycle project – the OMT 450c – that has been specifically designed for the demanding and technical Flat Track discipline.

Based around the race-proven Honda CRF450 engine, the cutting-edge design features a carbon fibre frame that can be quickly and easily adjusted to alter stiffness and steering geometry to take into account the wide variety of tracks used in the series that is growing in popularity every season.

Founded in 2020 by Stefano Picasso, the company made an immediate impact with its 660 LMS supercar. Powered by a six-hundred-and-sixty-six-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine and weighing under one-thousand kilograms, more than eleven-hundred carbon-fibre components – all designed and manufactured in-house – are used in its construction and it is this Swiss engineering excellence that Picasso Engineering will bring to the 2026 FIM Flat Track World Championship.

Focussing on combining state-of-the-art technology with precision engineering to enable it to constantly innovate, the company aims to set new benchmarks in automotive engineering and the OMT 450c is guaranteed to turn heads and create a huge amount of interest and excitement next season.

Fabio Muner, FIM Marketing and Digital Director, stated: “It is fantastic news to have an all-new motorcycle behind the start line in next year’s FIM Flat Track World Championship, especially one as revolutionary as the OMT 450c. We have seen the discipline continue to grow and prosper over recent seasons and I find the fact that Picasso Engineering has identified both Flat Track as a sport it wishes to become involved in and the FIM Flat Track World Championship as the best place to showcase its new machine tremendously exciting.”

Armando Castagna, FIM Track Racing Director and a multi-time Italian national Speedway champion, added: “From purely a racer’s point of view I am very intrigued and extremely excited by this new motorcycle that utilises such cutting-edge design. The tracks we use in the FIM Flat Track World Championship are chosen for their differences in length, surface and corner geometry to provide a comprehensive test of rider and machine and the OMT 450c’s easily-adjustable carbon fibre frame is an incredible innovation. I can’t wait to see it in action next year.”
