In both OK and OK-Junior, the great competitiveness of the Birel ART-TM Racing karts on the international circuit of Zuera in Spain enabled several drivers from the red army to be in a position to fight for the podium. The progress of the races was not always favourable to the official Lissone team, but Matheus Morgatto created a sensation in the OK Final by gaining 16 places to reach 5th position! On the other hand, Tymoteusz Kucharczyk deserved better, as did William Macintyre, a serious candidate for the podium in OK-Junior.

The first meeting of the FIA Karting European OK and Junior Championship was not easy for anyone. The continuous changes in the weather on the Genk circuit disrupted the Qualifying Heats. On top of that, the Birel ART Racing Team was not spared the vagaries of competition. However, the weekend's results were far from negative.

The WSK Euro Series started this weekend on the Lonato circuit in a contrasting weather situation. After the sunshine of the first days, rain and coolness accompanied the Final stages. Birel ART Racing showed very good competitiveness in all categories. Kremers dominated KZ2 in all weather conditions, there was no shortage of good performances in OK, Macintyre was 5th in OK-Junior and Van Langendonck was 4th in Mini.

The fourth round of the Italian ACI Karting Championship kicked off the final sprint in the Italian campaign with Palomba and Lombardo taking the win in KZ2, Amendola and Apicella in International MINI, Sardo and Sala in National Mini, Abbate and Megna in Rok Junior, Locatelli and Gaglianò in Rok Senior, Scognamiglio and Al Dhaheri in X30 Junior, as Carenini secured a double win in X30 Senior.

The finals of the first round of WSK Euro Series at the International Circuit Napoli in Sarno saw the victory going to Longhi in KZ2, Gray in OK, Spina in OK-Junior and Nakamura in MINI. The championship will reach its conclusion on September 20th in Lonato.
