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 Kartódromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero de Valencia in Spain.

The opening of the series at the South Garda Karting was won by Senna Van Walstijn in KZ2, Dean Hoogendoorn in MINI Gr.3, Antoine Venant in MINI Gr.3 U10, Rocco Coronel in X30 Junior and Danny Carenini in X30 Senior.

The opening round of the WSK Open Series will take place from March 8-12 at the South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, the first of four races in this new championship.

The fourth season of the Champions of the Future Euro Series is set to take off from 9th-12th March 2023 at the Lucas Guerrero International Karting Circuit in Valencia, Spain. The event is already shaping up to be a great success with a very strong field in two major FIA Karting categories: OK-Junior and OK-Senior. The series will run over five meetings, ideally spread out from March to September, and will visit circuits that also host European and World Championship events. This year’s Champions of the Future Euro Series will once again be of great interest.

In October last year, the FIA presented the International Karting Ranking (IKR). Like the ATP tennis world rankings, drivers collect points at FIA-approved races - including the German Kart Championship. At the end of the year, the most successful participants can be honored, for example, as Driver of the Year.
