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,

2002
OPEN MASTERS - MICHELE FANETTI IS CHAMPION OF THE 100
ICA.
The Birel driver from Brescia attained in Muro Leccese
the Open Masters title for the 100 Ica class, which is
the propaedeutical category par excellence. Michele, after
a season always at the top of the results list, attained
on the Apulian racing track both the first position and
the title, proving to be one of the most promising drivers
of the National Karting. Niko Hulkenberg wins again the
competitions for the 100 Ica / Junior categories, Guignet
attains the title in the FA class, while Piccini comes
in first in the 125 Icc class.

Michele Fanetti is at his best on the Apulian racing-track
and he is ready to recover the bad day experienced in
Angerville during the European final. The rivals for the
title, except Thonon, are the same drivers who competed
for the continental final. The Portuguese Albuquerque
and Mortara are still competing for the title and during
the race they prove to be the most fearful rivals for
the Birel driver. But Fanetti does not make any mistake
during the last competition of the prestigious Open Masters
Championship and he attains a valuable victory over Albuquerque.
The Tony Kart driver Bossini places himself in the third
position, heading Mortara and Iglesias.

100 ICA J
In the 100 Junior class there is also an air of
revenge as to the results of the European competition
in Angerville. As a matter of fact in France the
Swiss Buemi was the leading driver, while his
rival, the German Hulkenberg, attained both the
victory on the Apulian racing-track and the title
of the Open Masters. So the Crg competitor confirms
once again his title attained last year, standing
as future leading driver in the upper categories.
The Swiss Buemi has to be satisfied with the place
of honour both in the competition and in the Championship.
Unfortunately the Birel drivers, competing in
the Junior category, were down on their luck during
the season just concluded. After the victory attained
by Todisco in the Margutti trophy, the expectations
were certainly higher, even though Tedeschini,
Bosca, Mapelli and Todisco himself have often
drawn attention to themselves.

100 FA
The French Guignet and the Dutch driver of the
Trulli Kart team Carlo Van Dam were the favourites
competing for the title. According to the points
scored by the Birel drivers, Gatto and Gaggianesi
were not excluded from the competition as well,
even though they certainly had poor chances of
success after their very unlucky season. In particular
Davide Gaggianesi has a matter to settle with
the blind goddess, who forced him this year as
well to get less results compared to the potential
shown on the racing-track. During the competition
of the 100 FA class, just to make it extremely
interesting, many leading drivers attending the
World Championship were also present and, in expectation
of the next world cycling competition scheduled
for October 27th, they availed themselves of this
opportunity to test materials and set-ups. Marco
Ardigò of the Birel team, Davide Forè,
Ammermuller and Asmer of the Tony Kart team, Van
Der Garde and many others are among the "guest
stars" taking part in the competition. As
a matter of fact they will be the protagonists
at the finishing line and all of them will step
on to the podium: Forè comes in first,
heading Ammermuller and Ardigò. But thanks
to his 4th position the winner is Jan Philippe
Guignet, who beats the rival Carlo Van Dam, who
does not conclude his race, scoring no points
in the results list. Salvatore Gatto attains a
very good 5th position and he comes in third in
the Championship.

125 ICC
Alessandro Piccini attains both the competition
and the title in Muro Leccese. Due to little set-up
problems the newly appointed European champion
Francesco Laudato has to be satisfied with the
third position, headed by the team-mate Elkmann.
This latter, thanks to his score, heads the driver
from Cava dei Tirreni in the championship as well.
Another Birel driver, Manuel Cozzaglio, places
himself in the 4th position during the competition,
while Cesetti comes in 5th, attaining the fourth
position in the championship.
