After a year of stop due to the Covid-19 pandemic that forced the 2020 edition to be skipped, the great IAME world Karting event is back. This year the important meeting lands in Italy, for the 10th edition, at the Adria Karting Raceway, from 18 to 23 October, with once again numerous participation, despite the fact that the pandemic has not yet been eradicated. There are about 300 drivers present together with the major international Karting teams, 29 nations represented in an exceptional comparison between the best drivers of the IAME national series in the X30 Mini, X30 Junior, X30 Senior, X30 Master and Z-I categories.

What better way to end the 2020 karting season than under Portugal’s sunshine, near the Atlantic ocean’s seaside? A great environment is just the first of many appeals behind the upcoming International IAME Games, scheduled in Portimao this weekend! Imagined by RGMMC as a big season-closing festival, this new karting event will see the best international IAME teams and drivers put their skills and material to work one last time before going on winter holidays!

After five long months of waiting, the drivers of the IAME Series Benelux, this weekend in Genk, can finally start their karting season. The context will be a bit different than we are used to, with the races taking place behind closed doors, but the field of participants still remains very attractive. More than 180 participants will compete at Karting Genk in Limburg during this first round of the championship. Time for a spectacle!

After being crowned Vice Champion last year, Freddie Slater (GBR) was out for a win and nothing else in 2019. Starting from pole position in the Final he gave himself the best possible chance at doing just that, but would have tough competition around him including Brandon Carr (GBR) who would start from second after gaining 20 places in the Pre Final.

This year saw the inception of two new classes at the IAME International Final with Minime (FFSA) / Cadet (MUK) one of them. The youngest of our warriors was made up with a 28 kart field for the final. Like all the finals it treated us with plenty of excitement and a tense last lap which would see Alex O’Grady (IRL) just hold on to take the win for Alfie Slater (GBR).

When British Touring Car driver, Ash Sutton (GBR), appeared on the the entry list in the Super Shifter class many were excited to see what he could do. A champion in the BTCC, Ash has gone on to some magnificent things since leaving Karting, but this was supposed to be a fun experience having not raced a Kart for several years.

The Pro class was a new concept for 2019 and the final alone proved it was a huge success. Featuring a huge number of some of the World’s best all in one grid meant one bad result in the heats didn’t put you completely out of contention. Dean MacDonald (GBR) is someone who can certainly vouch for that, having started his first head facing the wrong way he came back in style to take an impressive win.

The home crowd in Le Mans were treated to a French winner with Johan Renaux (FRA) holding his nerve to win in the Master category! The race was far from an easy one, after a bad Pre Final Sebastien Bielande (BEL) was on a charge through the field and closed the gap to just 0.3 seconds at the flag in a nail biting finish.

It was a last lap which showed the two completely emotions some may go through in this sport. Oliver Bearman (GBR) looked almost down and out at one stage as he fought to try and stay in the top ten, but kept his head down and was rewarded for his efforts with a win on the final lap. As for Oliver Gray (GBR), he did everything right in the race and pretty much had it in the bag before a mechanical problem with his engine saw him slow up on the final lap coming out of the first corner and he was visibly devastated as he was left at the side of track whilst Bearman celebrated his IAME International Final win.

As ever the Senior class did not fail to disappoint when it came to drama. A fantastic contest would eventually see Mark Kimber (GBR) come out on top, but it was a race that took several twists and turns along the way. After the Pre Final an exciting front row was formed in the shape of Ben Barnicoat (GBR) and Joey van Splunteren (NED) but they would be far from the only two drivers who would play a part in this race.

A great show is expected as the highest level of Karting drivers will be concentrated in this unique event. Minime FFSA/ Cadet MUK, X30 Mini, X30 Junior, X30 Senior, X30 Master, X30 Pro, X30 Super Shifter classes will fill the grids of the 4 days races, for a Karting spectacle never seen before.
