COUNTDOWN FOR THE MOST EAGERLY
AWAITED EVENT OF THE SEASON
THE EVENT
The International Easykart Final is the event which
assigns the titles obtained in each category at
international level; it is a world-class event.
Based on the results of the National championships
managed by the individual ASN, the best drivers
of each continent are admitted, from Europe to America,
Japan and some Asian countries. Italian drivers
will once again get the lion’s share; in this
occasion they will also compete for the Italian
absolute title. The 2006 edition will take place
on the track of Jesolo (Venice), which boasts a
prestigious tradition and is the venue for several
title races. Thanks to the relevance of this event,
the highest authorities of the individual National
Federations and all Birel’s management will
converge on the Venetian track. As usual, a first-class
organisation will guarantee that the event is given
top prominence. To take part in an International
race is a unique experience which guarantees a great
added value for each driver, particularly for the
very young ones of the categories 60 and 100. All
categories will be on the starting line: 50, 60,
100, 125 Light,125 Heavy and 125 Shifter. The event
will feature free trials on Friday and Saturday
morning, qualification heats on Saturday afternoon
and the races during Sunday. The whole event will
be covered by a very high-profile promotion plan.
The
Track
The track is 1045 metres long, alternating a technical
section with three 180° bends and a fast section
with a succession of bends leading to the long finishing
stretch. The first section facilitates overtaking,
such manoeuvre being essentially possible at each
braking, whereas in the fast section slipstreams
are very important because they can allow one to
gain many engine revolutions in the following finishing
stretch. The tarmac is completely new and is devoid
of any imperfections, and the same goes for the
kerbs which, in all sections, can be tackled with
no problem. As far as trim is concerned, this is
a typical track on which a balance between the slower
and the faster sections must be achieved.
The Programme
On Friday the free trials will take place, with
10-minute shifts for each category and a 15' session
(Long run) early in the afternoon. This arrangement
was agreed upon with the teams which have expressed
the wish to stay on the track for a longer period
of time at the same time as qualification heats
and races will take place. On Saturday morning there
will be two further free trial sessions, then in
the afternoon the two qualification heats for each
category will take place. Sunday will see the start
of the final stage of this event with the warm up
and the first races; in the morning the "C"
and "B" Finals will take place (which
will qualify the last 6 drivers for the International
Finals), then in the afternoon the Races which will
assign the titles will be held. At 13:30 the drivers’
presentation ceremony will be held, which will involve
all drivers and which, similarly to the past editions,
will feature the main national anthems and an engaging
choreography. A great novelty is the presence of
the 125 Shifter; the first owners of the new gearbox
kart will get on the track together with some guests.
According to International regulations 34 drivers
will be admitted to all Finals.
Media
More than 20 accredited newspapers, the staff of
Birel’s press office and a television production
by a national broadcasting channel will guarantee
a high profile event. Particular attention will
be given to the television front which, similarly
to last year, will feature a live broadcast on a
maxi screen specially positioned for the public.
Moreover, the whole weekend of races will be featured
in a Magazine published by Birel’s press office.
Subscriptions
Each national ASN will determine the number of drivers
admitted, in accordance with the individual promoters.
As far as Italian drivers are concerned, the criteria
of National ranking will be observed.

Ceremony will be
held, during which only International prizes will
be awarded. For each final Honour prizes will be
awarded to the first 10 drivers classified. The
first 5 drivers classified in Final C and B will
also be awarded prizes.

Regional championships and the National Absolute
Championship of each country will be held at a different
venue, according to the Programme of each individual
ASN. As far as Italy is concerned, the National

each category) will be awarded during an Gala evening

on 18th November, 2006.
