CRG in Lonato for the ultimate challenge of the KZ and Supercup KZ2 World Championships

The South Garda Karting race track in Lonato will host the much-awaited FIA World Karting Championships in KZ and Super Cup KZ2. CRG is the manufacturer with the highest number of drivers. It will be in Italy, on the renovated South Garda Karting race track of Lonato del Garda, where the international FIA Karting season-ending event will take place, featuring the much-awaited World Championships for KZ and Supercup KZ2. A highly competitive doubleheader in which CRG boasts some of its most historic successes.

Lonato becomes the capital of karting this week-end when it returns to hosting this very important event again after last hosting it in 1996. Featuring a record number of 261 drivers in total, this event is already guaranteed success with 48 entrants in the KZ class and 126 in KZ2. Two additional categories will be present at this event, the Academy Trophy for its last race of the season featuring exclusively young emerging drivers, and the Historic Super Cup with Go-Karts from the 60’s through the 90’s.

CRG establishes itself as the manufacturer with the highest number of drivers, boasting a total of 30 racers in the KZ and KZ2 categories, or 20% of the total participants.

CRG presents itself with a complete KZ team featuring the 2-times KZ World Champion Paolo De Conto (2016/2017), and the victor of the International Super Cup KZ2 and World Champion in the OK category in 2016 Pedro Hiltbrand. The American hopefuls Austin Garrison and James Myers, as well as the Croatian talent Jan Pokos complete the Italian team in the KZ category.

The CRG flock of KZ2 drivers include the Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, who comes from an outing in the OK category in Alaharma Finland, and who will give his debut in the shifter class here in Lonato. Furthermore, there are the Italians Paolo Ippolito and Marco Valenti, the Spaniards Gerard Cebrian and Francisco Sagrera, the Greek Fotis Sotiropoulos, the Mexican Noel Leon, the Frenchman Arthur Carbonnel and the Australian Zac Zamprogno.

Among the many CRG drivers, there are to be singled out the ones running in the CRG Holland Team, who present themselves with a truly large lineup. Amongst the most competitive ones you will find the Team Modena Kart with the newly crowned Italian Champion Simone Cunati and his teammate Luigi di Lorenzo.
