Western Australian Sam Dicker has created history by winning a third consecutive Australian KZ2 Gearbox Championship at the Grand Final round of the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship presented by Castrol in Coffs Harbour.

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.

In summery weather, Birelart Racing shone in the third round of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK at Viterbo. Vladimir Ivannikov took an excellent 2nd place in the Final, while Noah Wolfe and Aston Sharp also put in solid performances throughout the weekend.

The first round of the European KZ Championship in Valencia was a success for Birelart Racing. Pedro Hiltbrand showed total mastery, winning the KZ Final by more than 3.2 seconds, confirming the effectiveness of the development work carried out by Birelart in the run-up to the season. Cristian Bertuca backed up this success by taking 3rd place on the podium and setting the fastest lap of the race. In KZ2, almost a third of the field chose the Birelart chassis, with four drivers in the top 10, including Corentin Rousseau, who finished 6th, among other outstanding results.

What a great and exciting day here at the 20^th edition of the RMC Grand Finals 2019. After the traditional drivers parade of all the participating nations in the morning, we saw 360 of the best kart-drivers of the world competing for the title. Thrilling and amazing action on the track impressed as one of the closest competitions in the history of the Grand Finals. The deserving winners were crowned this afternoon during the prize-giving ceremony before the celebration of the 20^th anniversary of the Grand Finals at the Drivers Party.
