The major event in the 2025 IAME calendar got off to an intense start at the Lucas Guerrero International Circuit in Chiva, near Valencia. The substantial amount of entrants confirms the appeal of this event, and every available space in the paddock was needed to accommodate the drivers and the numerous teams in the best possible conditions. IAME, together with its partners RGMMC and the Spanish circuit managers, is once again offering a high standard of organisation this year.

As expected, the first races of the IWF were very exciting in all categories: X30 Mini, KA100, X30 Master and Z-I. The Warriors lived up to their name throughout the day. Despite the rain, very few collisions were recorded, proof of the dexterity of the drivers present for this great event organised by IAME Karting. While some were doing their utmost to move up the rankings after what they hoped would be a better qualifying session, others confirmed their ease on the slippery Le Mans track.

The end of the qualifying heats was marked by the return of sunshine on the Le Mans International Circuit and the use of slick tyres during this very intense day of competition! The great event created by IAME Karting in 2012, just 10 years ago, already named a lot of finalists in the X30 Mini, KA100, X30 Master and Z-I categories. Many of them want to add their name to the list of winners of this prestigious IWF22, whose mission is also to offer a Carbon Neutral meeting.

After settling over the Le Mans International Circuit on Thursday during qualifying practice, rain clouds remained stationary in the sky in this region of western France, forcing the drivers to use Komet rain tyres throughout the 17 qualifying heats on Friday. These difficult conditions did not prevent the drivers from putting on a show on the track, with many overtaking moves. Nevertheless, the hierarchy is far from being fixed, as many heats are on the programme on Saturday, before the much awaited final stages on Sunday. The IWF22 still has many surprises in store for us.
