Welcome
Dear Drivers,
IAME welcomes with great pleasure all drivers participating to this third edition of the BRUNO GRANA INTERNATIONAL TROPHY.
This event is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Bruno Grana, IAME founder, and to his contribution to the sport of Karting.
The race will take place once again on the fantastic International Circuit of Lavelanet in the Pyrenees region.
After the great success of the past editions and after all the incoming requests, this edition will also offer the X30 Junior and X30 Shifter categories, together with the X30 and X30 Gentleman.
We are sure that Mr. Bruno Grana, who loved this sport more than anything, would sincerely appreciate this event; a moment of great sport, passion, competition, friendship and a real chance for all drivers to feel part of the IAME family.
We wish all participants to enjoy this experience with mutual respect and the highest sporting behaviour.
Welcome all!

2011 Edition
It's with some emotion and above all very proud that the « Circuit International de Lavelanet » 'll be hosting for the third consecutive year, The Bruno Grana International Trophy. This race, real world final for the category X30, is close to my heart because it honors a great man of karting, pioneer in many fields and particularly in the kart engines, which occupy much of our week - ends. Bruno Grana can be proud of his successors at the direction of the IAME factory who were able to convey many of its values as work, kindness, professionalism, listening and especially the passion of our sport. For them as for us, this trophy represents a certain conception of our sport. All the team of the « Karting Club du Pays-d'Olmes-Mirepoix » worked many hard for many weeks so that the International Trophy Bruno Grana, 2011 version, be a popular and sports successfull, but especially for the drivers and escorts, from around the world, keep excellent memories of our little corner of Ariège, planted at the foot of the Pyrenees. I thank now the officials and volunteers who will work, often in the shade, so that this event takes place at best, and the media that are sure to capture the race and technicians who ensure the IAME monitoring trading of the X30 "phenomenon". For his 20 years, the « Circuit International de Lavelanet » could not dream of better event. Now, it's to him, to be worthy of such an event...
