Jules Bianchi’s Stolen Kart Recovered as Search Continues for Remaining Karts

Community vigilance with Brignoles police action led to the recovery.

Overview

  • Philippe Bianchi announced on social media that his late son’s kart has been found, calling it a huge relief for the family.
  • The burglary earlier this month involved nine JB17 chassis karts stolen from the Brignoles home, including the last kart Jules raced before moving to single-seaters, plus several children’s mini-karts.
