The races will be held in accordance with the CIK-FIA regulations and adapted to the schedule of the World Championship as a four-day event. The classes KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters are announced.

It has been a positive weekend for the CRG drivers who took part in the WSK Open Cup in Lonato, a single-trial event that opens the end-of-season appointments, where you can already feel that the 2023 season is about to begin, after both the OK and the KZ categories have competed in the FIA ​​World Championships in September.

Lorenzo Travisanutto, winner of the 2021 KZ2 International Super Cup, has completed his first season in the world's elite KZ category in fine style.

On the occasion of the FIA Karting World Championship reserved for KZ category, the Tony Kart Racing Team comes close to the success on the Le Mans Karting International circuit. Noah Milell, already 2021 World Champion, once again climbs onto the podium, this time in second place.

In all categories, the Birel ART-TM Racing teams performed extremely well on the Le Mans circuit in the major World meeting for the gearbox categories. The Italian Cristian Bertuca achieved the best result of the team by taking the second step of the podium in the KZ2 World Cup. A top three finish was also possible in KZ at this event, where the large number of spectators and the media clearly put karting on the map.

CRG gets back on top of the world of international karting and does it in the most beautiful and clear way ever, winning both the most important titles in the shifter categories: the FIA​​ Karting World Championship KZ and the FIA Karting World Cup KZ2. A perfect weekend for the CRG drivers at Le Mans in France, where the two most important titles were awarded in a single round.

With so many participants, so much at stake in the four competing categories and so many races leading up to the Finals, the 2022 FIA Karting event in Le Mans will be remembered as a pure moment of karting, full of individual exploits and team performances, offering a flamboyant spectacle during three intense days. A Swede, Viktor Gustafsson, was crowned FIA Karting World Champion - KZ and three Frenchmen were rewarded: Arthur Carbonnel, winner of the FIA Karting World Cup - KZ2, Thomas Letailleur, winner of the first FIA Karting Masters International Super Cup - KZ2 and Arthur Dorison, winner of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy.

The changing skies at Le Mans contributed to several unexpected developments in the Qualifying Heats of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting event currently taking place in the Sarthe region of France. A succession of brief showers on Saturday morning did not help all of the competitors. However, the verdict is in. Simo Puhakka (FIN) took the lead in KZ. Arthur Carbonnel (FRA) took the top position in KZ2. Jeroen Bos (NLD) remained the leader of the KZ2 Masters, while Mark Dubnitski (EST) took the lead in the FIA Karting Academy Trophy at the last moment.

On Friday, 2nd September 273 of the 290 entrants took part in the Qualifying Practice for the four categories in competition on the 1384m International Karting Circuit of Le Mans (FRA). Rain made it difficult for the drivers in the early afternoon. Four drivers took pole position: Noah Milell (SWE) in KZ, David Trefilov (DEU) in KZ2, Jeroen Bos (NLD) in KZ2 Masters and Arthur Dorison in Academy.

The 2^nd Round of the WSK Euro Series which took place in Sarno has ended with a podium in KZ for Paavo Tonteri and a positive top ten in OK-Junior for Nikolas Roos.

The 1^st Round of the WSK Euro Series which took place in Lonato from 14^th to 17^th July ended with a positive balance from the performance point of view. In the KZ top class, Jeremy Iglesias won the Pre-Final and started from pole for the Final, finishing the race in P2 after an unlucky start in which he lost 2 positions. On the podium with him was also Viktor Gustafsson, P3 at the finish line in front of Alex Irlando and Jorge Pescador, who finished the race in P4 and P5 completing the parade of CRG drivers in the top positions.

The 2022 FIA European Championship has ended on the Cremona track in Italy where the 2^nd and final Round of the Continental Championship for the KZ and KZ2 classes took place from 16^th to 19^th June. At CRG there were many expectations, especially in KZ2, after Jorge Pescador's beautiful and convincing test in the opening race, but on the Italian track, things did not go in the right direction, unfortunately. The results obtained on the track were below expectations and the potential expressed right from free practice. Certainly, the weekend was complicated by the high temperatures and tire management on a track that has gradually rubbed-in a lot, but above all it was some unfortunate episodes that affected the overall balance of the CRG drivers.

The Birel ART factory continues to write karting history in golden letters. In Cremona, the Italian chassis took the top three places in the KZ2 Final thanks to Tom Leuillet, Cristian Bertuca and Alessio Piccini. Already a winner in Genk, the Frenchman, therefore, brings a deserved title to the Birel ART and TM Racing brands, as well as to the Leclerc by Lennox Racing team. In KZ, Birel ART was also delighted with another podium for Matteo Vigano, who became the 2022 European Vice-Champion.

The second and final round of the FIA Karting European Championship - KZ & KZ2 saw particularly difficult conditions on the Cremona circuit.

The battle for the titles promises to be full of suspense. In the Academy, Matias Orjuela (COL) and Thibaut Ramaekers (BEL) are neck-and-neck.

For the opening of the European KZ Championship in Belgium, Parolin Motorsport showed a remarkable level of performance which enabled its two drivers to play leading roles. Francesco Celenta started with the 2nd fastest time in Qualifying while Lorenzo Travisanutto came close to the Final top five in his first race in the category.

With each new CIK-FIA homologation, the Birel ART brand uses all the expertise of its factory and the immense experience of its Racing Team to develop extremely high quality chassis, capable of winning in all categories, whatever the type of tyres.
