Reportagem: Birelart

Last weekend, the Birelart Racing Team gathered at the Kristianstad circuit for the final round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series. The whole team took advantage of this event to actively prepare for the upcoming FIA Karting World Championship.

Jordon Lennox, team manager for the OK and Junior categories:

"We had drivers competing in both categories and our entire team performed very well throughout the meeting. The circumstances were not always favourable and there were quite a few incidents during the race, but everyone remained competitive and kept up the team spirit. Some of them could really have realised their potential without this bit of bad luck, but the main thing is the positive momentum and preparation for the World Championship."

This event was above all an opportunity to carry out numerous tests and gather valuable information for the World Championship. The entire Racing Team remains fully committed to continuing its preparation and arriving in the best possible condition for this event.

The FIA Karting World Championship will take place in Kristianstad from 11th to 14th September. The Racing Team will do everything in its power to aim for the top spots at this unique event of the season.

About Birelart

Birelart is an Italian manufacturer of kart chassis that combines long experience and a keen sense of innovation with a boundless passion for motor sport.

Founded in 1959 by Umberto Sala, whose precise nickname was Birel, the company has played a pioneering role in the development of karting around the world since its very beginnings. The demand for quality has always been part of the DNA of the Lissone-based brand through its quest for success in competition. Over more than 60 years, Birelart has won 26 world titles, countless European titles and numerous national championships.

Birel has accompanied the careers of many great racing drivers, including Riccardo Patrese, Keke Rosberg, Stefano Modena and Emanuele Pirro, as well as the more recent Formula 1 stars Mika Hakkinen and Juan Pablo Montoya, Robert Kubica, Jenson Button and George Russell. Robert Kubica, Daniel Ricciardo and more recently Charles Leclerc have called on Birelart's expertise to launch their own chassis ranges.

Three generations have succeeded one another at the helm of Birel. Today, Ronni Sala, the founder's grandson, presides over Birel's destiny. In 2014, he ushered in a new era by joining forces with ART Grand Prix, a famous team on the single-seater scene, thanks to its association with Nicolas Todt and his partners. Birelart was born.

Ronni has contributed to the creation of an ambitious new project that will be at the forefront of the karting industry, thanks to original sporting, marketing and communication initiatives that will benefit the brand, the dealer network and, of course, Birelart's customers.

Birelart has built on its prestigious heritage to enter the 21st century and make full use of technology in terms of R&D, production, logistics and communication. Its area of expertise, based on high-level competition, has been extended to include production quality control for a large number of competitors around the world, as well as the leisure sector with its Rental range with both internal combustion and electric engines. The factory at its original site in Lissone, near Monza and within easy reach of Milan, has undergone constant modernisation.

Birelart's high level of expertise, with its well-balanced blend of tradition and innovation, is reflected in the results it has achieved in racing, offering fans around the world the opportunity to become real drivers or to have fun and experience the thrill of adrenaline on the track.
