Bruno Grana

Bruno Grana was one of the pioneers as well as an absolute protagonist in the history of world karting, known primarily for being the founder, in 1968, of IAME S.p.a. (Italian American Motor Engineering). Initially, the engine brands within the company were Parilla and Komet. The company's goal is to combine the excellence of Italian mechanics with a commercial strategy oriented towards the global market, particularly the US market (hence the name “Italian American”).

Bruno Grana remained at the helm of the company until 2006, the year of his death.

Kart Categories

Drift

Drift karts are a type of kart designed to promote controlled oversteer and skids, replicating the typical dynamics of automotive drifting on a reduced scale. They are distinguished by the adoption of specific technical solutions that reduce ground adherence, such as rear tires covered with PVC rings or low-grip plastic materials, which allow the kart to slide easily even at low speeds. A distinctive technical element is the high steering angle these karts have: the front wheels can rotate to very wide values, close to 90 degrees, a functional characteristic that allows for drifting. This type is widespread especially in recreational contexts, where fun and spectacularity prevail over the competitive aspect. Drift karts are generally equipped with low-power electric or thermal engines (typically 4-stroke) and feature robust and simplified frames, designed to withstand impacts and ensure a long lifespan. This category is mainly diffused in the United States and is offered especially in entertainment centers, indoor tracks, or dedicated events.

Races and Championships

Briggs Series

The Briggs Series are an uninstitutionalized race concept: the definition of "Briggs Series" is, in fact, coined arbitrarily and indicatively by TKART with the ultimate goal of defining a set of competitions based on the use of the Briggs LO206 engine. This engine is used in various championships in different countries around the world, although it is particularly widespread in the USA, Canada, Australia, just to name a few nations. What unites these championships - which generally offer freedom of choice in chassis use - is precisely the use of the branded engine Briggs Racing Engines produced by the manufacturer Briggs & Stratton LLC. There are no "approved" standards or regulations, nor a unique championship denomination. Locally, various organizers create their own championship with their unique characteristics, drawing inspiration from a common technical regulation based on the aforementioned Briggs LO206 engine. Among these championships, the Briggs Kart Championship Italia, widespread - indeed - in Italy, is characterized by being a Single brand both for the Briggs Racing Engines engine and for the chassis.
