Welcome
to the official Birel S.p.A. website. In the name of Birel philosophy,
which has always been targeted to customer service and technology,
we have created a karting portal: the focus is on products,
debates with engineers and drivers, reviews of tracks and information
on the key issues of our sport. Birel is leader on the web,
too. |

2004 MANUFACTURERS’ CUP - SARNO (FEBRUARY 1ST,
2004)
ALSO THE 2004 EDITION IS LABELLED BIREL
THANKS TO THE SUCCESSES OBTAINED BY COLETTI (100/JUNIOR),
MUSTONEN (100 ICA) AND LAUDATO (125 ICC) BIREL REPEATS
THE TRIUMPH OF THE PAST YEAR.
The Manufacturers’
Cup, that is the International Trophy starting the agonistic
season on the racing-track of Sarno, belongs always
to Birel. As last year the Lissone based company obtains
3 successes out of 4 admitted categories. Birel drivers
only miss the FA category, in which Valentino Sebastiani
beats his opponents. Stefano Coletti, revelation driver
in the 100 Junior during the second half of the 2003
season, wins the Final, after gaining his pole position
and one success in the qualifying rounds. Coletti precedes
Eng (Top/Comer) and Bortolotti (Birel/TM), while the
Spanish driver Algersuari (Birel/TM) comes in 4th, just
within an ace of the podium. In the 100 ICA the Junior
European Champion Risitano attains his pole position
and for the driver from Frosinone this is the best possible
debut he can make in the 100 ICA, as in 2004 he will
compete in this category for Birel team. But during
qualifying rounds another Birel driver emerges: Atte
Mustonen.

With Waldschmidt, Todisco and Annunziata they
will be the protagonists of a very spectacular
Final. Walschmidt is the first driver to cross
the chequered flag, but after a check he will
be excluded for underweight problems. So the winner
is the good Finnish driver Mustonen who precedes
Annunziata and Risitano. Sauro Cesetti, whose
debut with Birel is eagerly awaited in FA, shows
immediately his good feeling with this new team
in the qualifying rounds already. Also during
the rounds Cesetti is always placed with the first
3 drivers and a good result is expected for the
Final. But unfortunately his race is over only
after 5 laps and so the Sebastiani brothers, Nyman,
Teemu and Michele Fanetti are the only drivers
competing for the title. Valentino Sebastiani,
supported by his brother (who will be excluded
from the race just for this reason) attains a
slight lead during the first phases of the race
and the followers have only to be satisfied with
the remaining positions. Nyman will attain the
2° position, preceding De Brujin and Fanetti.
The multi-titled driver Laudato is familiar with
the 125 Icc category and he doesn’t miss
the success. Sferrella keeps close behind him,
attaining the second position, while Kievstbosch
comes in 3°. At the end of the month, with
the first race of the Italian Open Championship,
all drivers will have to confirm once again their
talent and the long 2004 season will get to the
heart of the competition.
