Few drivers can claim to have done what Zyed Dieudonne achieved on Sunday: going from 30th place to victory. The young karting talent pulled off the remarkable feat at Genk during the IAME Series Benelux. At just nine years old, the Verviers-based driver won the fifth round of the championship in the Mini Rookie class – in his very first race with a brand-new chassis.

Setting the fastest time in qualifying was only the beginning of what would turn into an exceptional weekend. On Sunday, young karting talent Milo Cornil won the fifth round of the IAME Series Benelux. At the Genk circuit, the eleven-year-old from Vaudignies was the standout driver in the Mini class, making it his second victory of the season. “When I crossed the finish line, I was really happy to have scored points for the championship and to be on the podium,” says Milo.

He had dominated every session of the weekend, so his victory in Saturday’s final almost seemed inevitable. At the Genk circuit, the 13-year-old from Givry was the strongest driver throughout the fifth round of the IAME Series Benelux. He secured his first win of the season in IAME X30 Junior.

Running at the front of a field full of boys, Adriana Cumbo took a hard-fought second place during the third round of the IAME Series Benelux. The fourteen-year-old from Montegnée proudly finished as the runner-up in the IAME KA100 category.

Back in a kart for the first time in years, and the day before his birthday, Simon Henrard won the third round of the IAME Series Benelux. The twenty-five-year-old from Malmedy made his winning return on the Spa circuit, just a few minutes from his home.
