Bianchi Family Appeals for Help After Theft of Jules Bianchi’s Last Kart

They seek sightings of distinctive JB17-branded karts taken in a recent burglary.

Overview

  • Philippe Bianchi said nine JB17 Forever chassis and a KZ 125 ART GP, the last kart his son raced, were stolen earlier this week.
  • He asked anyone who sees JB17 karts for sale or in circulation to contact the family.
  • The family described the break-in as a symbolic and deeply distressing blow that reopens an old wound.
  • Former mechanic Dominique Guillien said the stolen equipment is identifiable, traceable, and effectively unusable on track, urging its return.
  • As of Thursday, media reports note no recoveries, arrests, or formal police updates while the community is urged to stay vigilant.
