Go-kart driver Anthony Bongartz had a great weekend at the Genk circuit during the second round of the GK4 Kart Series. The 14-year-old racer from the Belgian town of Amel showed his racing skills and scored a resounding P2 in the IAME X30 Junior category.  

Anthony Bongartz secured his first win of the season to win the final of the Dutch IAME Championship at the Circuit Karting des Fagnes in Mariembourg. The 14-year-old Belgian karting talent from Amel (20 minutes from the famous F1-circuit of Spa-Francorchamps) finished in the first position in the IAME X30 Junior class, marking the beginning of the new karting season with a kickstart. The Thierry Delre Karting driver reflects on a fantastic start to a busy season.

The Warriors who qualified for the eleventh edition of the IWF23 put on an absolutely incredible show over four days of competition on the Algarve circuit in Portimao. IAME Motorsport confirmed the success of its organisations throughout the world, which ended in apotheosis with this very high-level final. In the south of Portugal, Khali Atkins in the X30 Senior class, Harry Bartle in the X30 Junior class, Will Green in the X30 Mini class and Viktor Öberg in the X30 Master class were crowned after some thrilling races, in what turned out to be very pleasant weather at the end of October. 

For multiple karting champion Bart Ploeg it was almost routine, picking up a trophy at the annual NK IAME champions' ceremony, but it did not make him any less proud. He had become Dutch champion in the X30 Seniors class. The just seventeen year old karter from Heijningen lives to win. He will hopefully do that again next season. Then as TD Racing's factory driver.

With so many participants, so much at stake in the four competing categories and so many races leading up to the Finals, the 2022 FIA Karting event in Le Mans will be remembered as a pure moment of karting, full of individual exploits and team performances, offering a flamboyant spectacle during three intense days. A Swede, Viktor Gustafsson, was crowned FIA Karting World Champion - KZ and three Frenchmen were rewarded: Arthur Carbonnel, winner of the FIA Karting World Cup - KZ2, Thomas Letailleur, winner of the first FIA Karting Masters International Super Cup - KZ2 and Arthur Dorison, winner of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy.
