The FIA World KZ Championship at Le Mans saw CRG claim its 28th World Title, in a landmark year celebrating the 40th anniversary of the brand’s foundation. Viktor Gustafsson delivered a perfect weekend for the CRG Racing Team, starting with an outstanding pole position in qualifying, setting the fastest time in all three sectors.

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.

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.

The third round of four in the FIA Karting European Championship at Mülsen, Germany, has come to an end, and the CRG Racing Team once again confirmed a strong performance level in both categories. Despite a challenging weekend marked by intermittent rain that affected track conditions throughout the event, CRG remained competitive in all situations.

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.
