Bruno Grana International Trophy

Welcome

Dear Drivers,

It's with great pleasure that I welcome all drivers who will participate to this second edition of the BRUNO GRANA INTERNATIONAL TROPHY.

This event is dedicated to the founder of IAME, a firm which has recently celebrated its 40th year of life.

The race will take place on the beautiful international circuit of Lavelanet, at the foot of the Pyrenees, which has already given hospitality to the first edition of the Trophy, proving its excellent organization and convivial abilities.

This year, the event will also give hospitality to the young drivers of the Minime and Cadet Classes and I wish to extend my welcome to these drivers as well.

I am sure that BRUNO GRANA, who loved our sport, would have really appreciated this race which puts so many members of the great IAME family together.

I wish all participants to enjoy this experience with friendship, reciprocal respect and the highest sportsmanship.

Welcome all

2010 Edition

It's with some emotion and above all very proud that the « Circuit International de Lavelanet » 'll be hosting for the second 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, 2010 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...
