Iame Series Benelux Round 4

The fourth round of the IAME Series Benelux brought the Mini Rookie grid back to the iconic Karting Genk circuit — a track known for its technical demands, high-speed sections, and intense competition.

Qualifying: P6 and Right in the Mix

Bera opened the weekend strongly with a P6 in Qualifying Practice, clocking a 1:02.405, only 0.763 seconds off the pole time. His sector times showed solid pace across all parts of the circuit, confirming that both driver and kart were well-dialed in despite the warm conditions that typically challenge his engine package.

This P6 result placed him in a strong position for the heats.

Heat 1: Fighting Drive to P7

In Heat 1, Bera maintained consistent pace and racecraft, finishing P7, less than two seconds from the top five. His best lap, 1:02.536, showed he was running competitive times among the front group.A clean race with good overtaking and defensive moments set the tone for the day.

Heat 2: Another Strong Performance in P6

Heat 2 once again proved Bera’s reliability and composure in traffic. Starting in the mid-pack group, he controlled the race well and secured P6. Across both heats, Bera demonstrated consistent top-10 pace — a major step forward in a field where even one tenth can cost multiple positions.

The Final: Top-5 Speed, P5 Finisher

With combined heat results placing him in a favourable starting spot, Bera entered the Final hungry for a strong finish. He delivered one of his best races of the season:

• Finished P5 on track, just 3.1 seconds behind the winner

  
  

His best lap of 1:02.988 again confirmed consistent speed within the front group. This top-5 result reflects Bera’s steady progress this season — particularly his ability to stay calm in the chaos of a 20-kart final.
