The new Barrichello by Birelart range makes its official debut, combining Birelart technology and tradition with Rubens Barrichello's well-known passion for karting.

The Birelart factory continues its successful partnership with BRP-Rotax at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, held in the magical setting of the Bahrain circuit. The Italian manufacturer was once again chosen for its high-end products, rigour, flawless logistics and quality of service to supply the chassis for the Micro Max category in the colours of Charles Leclerc, Rotax DD2 labelled Birelart and Rotax DD2 Master embodied by the new Barichello Kart brand. 144 drivers delivered exciting races thanks to perfect sporting fairness at the wheel of chassis produced in Lissone.

The final round of the 2025 WSK Final Cup took place in Lonato in bitterly cold conditions, with temperatures hovering below six degrees and Friday's Qualifying sessions disrupted by a wet track. Despite these hostile conditions, Birelart once again delivered in all categories. Cristian Bertuca ended his season on a high note with another victory in KZ2, securing the overall title.

The Group brings together eight leading Italian companies in an integrated motorsport ecosystem: the first capable of bridging the worlds of karting and racing cars.

The 2025 FIA Karting World Championship for the OK and OK-Junior categories took place from 11th to 14th September at the historic Åsum Ring in Kristianstad, Sweden. As always at this level, the sporting intensity was at its peak, with a world title awarded on a single event, in an atmosphere combining suspense and twists and turns. The unpredictable weather on the south-east coast of Sweden did nothing to make things easier for the 217 drivers taking part (109 in OK-Junior, 108 in OK), adding an element of uncertainty to the competition.

Birelart travelled to Denmark this weekend for the fourth of five rounds of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, held at the Rødby circuit, which appeared on the international calendar for the first time in 2023. From Thursday's Qualifying sessions to Saturday's Finals, the team had to fight relentlessly, but failed to secure a podium finish in OK despite some impressive performances.

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.

Drivers in the colours of the Modena Kart team have become regulars on the podiums of the biggest events since the start of 2025, in the WSK Promotion series as well as the ACI Karting Italian Championship. At the wheel of their OK-N Junior Parolin / TM Karts, the Italian team has just put together a sensational all-round performance at Sarno, with Albert Tamm taking victory, Gioele Girardello 3rd, and Nojus Stasionis 5th.
 

BRP-Rotax announces the official chassis partners for the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals 2025 taking place in the Kingdom of Bahrain from November 29th to December 6th: BirelART, IPK and Sodikart - three of the world’s leading manufacturers in the karting industry. Each brand is well-renowned for their quality, workmanship and commitment to providing nearly 400 qualified competitors at the RMCGF with the best material and support to win.

Noah Wolfe will benefit from continued valuable support from VAR by Birel in his quest for honours in a multitude of kart championships around Europe next year.

Troy Loeskow and Brad Jenner created history under lights at Emerald Raceway in Central Queensland on Saturday night, matching each other’s SP Tools Australian Kart Championship all-time round winners’ totals.
