Birelart KZ driver Pedro Hiltbrand came very close to winning the FIA Karting European Championship at the third and final round in Mülsen, Germany, before an engine problem ended his hopes. In KZ2, young Noah Wolfe (VAR by Birelart) showed great determination, finishing just off the podium.

The 2025 FIA Karting European Championship in the KZ and KZ2 categories got off to a chaotic start due to problems with tyre supplies. However, the KR Motorsport team bounced back, first in Sarno with Danilo Albanese returning to the top six, then in Mülsen with a podium finish. The entire team and its drivers are now motivated to shine in October at the upcoming World Championship in Franciacorta.

The FIA Karting European Championship ended on a high note for Sodikart at the Mülsen circuit. In KZ, Mattéo Spirgel dominated the event from pole position to the Final and took the European Championship crown, one year after his European title in KZ2. In this category, the Sodi-TM drivers from CPB Sport monopolised the entire podium, with Maksim Orlov winning ahead of Jayden Thien and Timo Jüngling. Winner of the three Finals in Spain, Italy and Germany, Orlov is logically the new KZ2 European Champion.

The third and final round of the FIA European Championship 2025 for the KZ and KZ2 categories took place at the Mülsen circuit in Germany.

The 2025 Champions of the Future Academy Program has just reached the halfway point of the season and continues to produce exciting and thrilling racing. The illustrious Jesolo circuit hosted lively races and confirmed the legitimacy of the "arrive and drive" system promoted by RGMMC. In Italy, several new drivers, both male and female, celebrated their first podium finishes in the series. The next three events, to be held in Europe and the United Arab Emirates, promise to be wide open.

Several weeks have passed since the first two rounds of the Champions of the Future Academy Program were held in Portimao (Portugal) and Valencia (Spain). So it’s with great anticipation and excitement that the many drivers involved will be returning to RGMMC’s innovative concept of an ‘arrive and drive’ competition designed to reveal and detect young talent in three distinct age groups: Mini, Junior and Senior. Scheduled from 4th to 6th July 2025, the next competition will take place on the legendary Jesolo circuit, long regarded as the temple of karting. Located in the north-east of Italy, close to Venice, it has hosted the greatest international events and seen the exploits of thousands of drivers, including the late Ayrton Senna.

Consistently at the front of the field since his arrival at IPK, Markus Kajak rose to the challenge at Sarno by climbing to the second step of the KZ2 podium. The Formula K SRP Factory Team driver moved up to 2nd in the European Championship standings. In KZ2 Masters, the title was close for Davide Fore and his IPK chassis in Praga colours. The Italian had just taken the lead on the last lap of the Final, before being pushed. The whole team were understandably disappointed...

Birelart Racing leaves the Italian circuit of Sarno in high spirits after Pedro Hiltbrand's victory in the premier KZ category, extending his lead in the Championship with one round to go. The weekend, marked by temperatures around 35 degrees on the redesigned track, also saw hard-fought podium finishes for Samuele Leopardi in KZ2 and Fabio Bifulco (CL Racing) in KZ2 Masters.

Sodikart and CPB Sport perfectly managed the various parameters that challenged the drivers and teams at Sarno during the FIA Karting European Championship for gearbox categories. In particular, they had to adapt to the intense heat of the Naples region and the difficulties of using different tyres to those supplied at the previous event in Valencia. In this context, Maksim Orlov won the KZ2 Final by a wide margin and now has a comfortable lead in the Championship. In KZ, Mattéo Spirgel and Jean Nomblot put two Sodi-TMs on the podium, with performances of a very high standard.
