The most important event of the season for the Shifter categories, the FIA Karting World Championships for KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters, takes place this week, from 17 to 20 September at the Le Mans circuit in France. Located in the Loire region and world-famous for the circuit that hosts the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, the city will become the capital of international karting as the most prestigious titles of the year in the three KZ categories are decided.

The second and final round of the FIA European Championship, held in Sarno, confirmed CRG’s position at the sharp end of the KZ categories. During the decisive weekend in Italy, Viktor Gustafsson finished 5th in the Final after securing pole position for the Super Heat at the end of the heats, ultimately closing the championship in 3rd place, just 12 points behind the winner.

This week, from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 July, the second and final round of the FIA European Championship KZ-KZ2 is set to take place. Following the dominant performance delivered in Genk by the CRG Racing Team, which claimed victory in the KZ race with Adrian Malheiro and came very close to a sensational one-two finish with Viktor Gustafsson — who was stopped by contact with his teammate just a few corners from the chequered flag — expectations are very high for the decisive home round. Nothing can be taken for granted, given the extremely competitive level of the opposition, but the pre-race testing sessions have once again confirmed the full potential of the CRG-TM technical package. The team will work with its usual determination to bring the title home.

CRG returned to the top step this weekend at the Genk circuit in Belgium, host of Round 1 of the FIA European Championship KZ-KZ2. Pace and outright speed were evident from the very first free practice sessions in the premier KZ category, with Viktor Gustafsson setting the benchmark and Adrian Malheiro confirming the competitiveness of the CRG-TM package.

It was an intense and exciting weekend the one that took place in Germany on the Wackersdorf circuit, where the CRG colors confirmed themselves as competitive and protagonists of the Shifter classes in the FIA​​World Championship KZ, in the KZ2 World Cup and in the Super Cup - KZ2 Masters.
