Birel ART shone again in Las Vegas with a fine victory at the SKUSA Supernats XXVII. Daniel Vasile (Italkart) won the Pro Shifter category, continuing from Matheus Morgatto's domination until two laps from the finish of the Final after an incredible comeback. Pedro Hiltbrand meanwhile made up five places to take 2nd place on the podium. Cristian Bertuca maintained a very fast pace throughout the race, but was unlucky in the Final, while Jordon Lennox made a remarkable comeback by finishing in the top 15 after moving up six places.

The new Champions of the Future Shifters, which has just taken place in Portimao, featured Birel ART drivers in all three categories. Daniel Vasile took victory in KZ2, while Artem Severiukhin was on the podium, Pedro Hiltbrand secured 3rd place in KZ and Davide Foré 4th in KZ2 Master. Two weeks before the World Championship, Lissone's products are showing excellent competitiveness.

For four days, the Algarve International Karting Circuit in Portimao vibrated to the rhythm of the KZ, KZ2 and KZ Master karts at a meeting eagerly awaited by competitors. The drivers and teams were able to work in a variety of weather conditions, gathering a wealth of data and gaining a much better understanding of the Portimao track. Many of the drivers were taking part in a Champions of the Future event for the first time and appreciated the professionalism of the organisation put in place by RGMMC. On a warm and sunny day of southern Portugal, Frenchman Jérémy Iglesias won the KZ class, Romanian Daniel Vasile won the KZ2 class and Frenchman Anthony Abbasse dominated the KZ Master class.

On the Paul Fletcher International circuit, this OK World Championship brought together all the difficulties of kart racing. A large number of participants for a unique event, a unique layout that favoured the regulars, many incidents and retirements and a conclusion with the rain in the Final.
 

Last weekend saw the second and final round of the European KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters Championship at Kartodromo Val Vibrata. Birel ART was the most represented chassis brand with almost a quarter of the field.
