The Birel ART Racing team prepared for the upcoming FIA European Karting Championship – OK & OK-Junior by participating in the first round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series at the Kar-tódromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero de Valencia in Spain.

It all came down to the final set of races at Belgium’s famed karting circuit, Karting Genk, that would see six drivers book their place for the entire BNL Karting Series season from early April onwards, but the weather would also provide an additional challenge for all 157 drivers that headed to the Limburg region.

As the third round of the WSK Super Master Series headed to the fast Circuito Internazionale Napoli in Sarno, Birel ART continued to demonstrate its expertise by concluding a remarkable overall performance with a hat-trick of wins on the KZ2 Final podium.

With 157 drivers competing over a total of 15 heats on Saturday at the 2023 BNL Karting Series Kick-Off, a slightly warmer start to the weekend initially saw slightly more varied weather in the early morning stages, before the warmth from the overhead sunshine helped to raise the air temperature and the action out on track.

The beginning of the 2023 BNL Karting Series season is finally upon us, as the 1,360-metre Karting Genk circuit is ready and primed to play host to around 175 drivers from around 15 nations for the customary Kick-Off this weekend.
