KART

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.
