ART Grand Prix and Birel Group join forces

ART Grand Prix and Birel Group join forces to create Birel ART, a new venture aimed at becoming one of the main protagonists of the international Karting scene.

The new Birel ART venture will merge Birel’s great tradition, made of 55 World and European titles, its technologically advanced manufacturing capability and organizational experience, and the very successful racing DNA of ART Grand Prix, the only racing team present at all levels of the motorsport ladder leading to Formula 1 – from Karting to Formula Renault 2.0, GP3 and GP2 Series – that has seen the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, and Sebastian Vettel through its ranks, as well as Karting talents such as Ben Hanley and Charles Leclerc.

Birel ART will benefit from a very experienced management team that will be announced shortly. Birel ART Racing, the new racing department, will be assisted by an on-track technical structure, as well as new ambitious racing programmes will be implemented. Also, a new range of custom-made products for professional and hobby drivers, teams and rental tracks, will soon be launched. Specific services for drivers will be also announced soon.

The official presentation of the 2015-2017 three-year program will take place in the occasion of the Birel ART Open Days, but Birel ART has already applied for the homologation of the new chassis and braking systems featuring the new brand name and colours for the CIK 2015-2020 session, as well as planning the launch of a new range of models for the rental market.
