International competition continued on a new track last weekend. After Trinec in the Czech Republic, the Birel ART Racing team discovered the Rødby circuit in Denmark for the third round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series at the beginning of June, two weeks before the FIA Karting European Championship - OK and Junior.

This weekend the Birel ART Racing Team competed in the second round of the Champions of the Future by RGMMC series. A week before the conclusion of the European OK and OK-Junior Championship on the same track of Zuera, the Italian team has done an excellent job punctuated by exploits on the road to success.

Following the many twists and turns that animated the qualifying phases of the third round of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK and Junior, surprises were expected in the two Finals. The result turned out to be more conservative than expected with the undisputed victory of Italy's Andrea Kimi Antonelli in OK and the almost winning comeback of Britain's Freddie Slater in Junior two thousandths behind his compatriot Harley Keeble.

Unlike the previous event in Belgium, the twenty Qualifying Heats of the second round of the 2021 FIA Karting European Championship - OK and Junior were not disrupted by rain, even though there was a threat not far from the international circuit of Aunay-les-Bois. British Junior Freddie Slater had a perfect run as did Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli in OK. They are the two favourites before the final heats on Sunday morning.
