The action on track is back for the OK and OKJ categories of international karting, which will be busy this weekend on the Portimão track in Portugal for the 2nd round of the Champions of the Future. The event will be the prologue to the 2nd Round of the FIA ​​European Championship, scheduled for next week from 1st to 4th May on the same track and will therefore be of significant importance for working on the set-ups in view of the FIA ​​meeting.
 

Round 1 of the FIA European Championship ended with results below expectations and potential for the CRG Racing Team drivers. On the one hand, the rain on Thursday and part of Friday complicated the work plans and, at the same time, a bit of bad luck in some key moments of the weekend did not allow them to fight in the upper parts of the standings in this 1st of the 4 scheduled seasonal appointments.

The engines are turned on today for the first free practice sessions on the Campillos circuit where the 1st round of the Champions of the Future series for the OK and OK Junior categories is scheduled for Saturday. This Series will take place over 5 rounds and will follow the same calendar as the FIA European Championship and will end on the eve of the FIA World Championship on the Kristianstad track, Sweden. For this reason, it represents a great test in preparation for the FIA events, also because, unlike other international meetings, it is run with the same tyres.

With the FIA ​​awards ceremony which took place in Rwanda in the last few days, the curtain has finally fallen on the 2025 sporting season for international karting. As usual, at CRG, it’s time to take stock with President Giancarlo Tinini. The first reflections are aimed precisely at the international season, in which once again CRG products were among the great protagonists.

From 29 August to 1 September the Val Vibrata circuit in Italy will make its return to international karting by hosting the 2nd and final Round of the FIA European Championship - KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters. The 2024 Championship was divided into 2 races after the delays at the beginning of the season regarding the choice of tires and, therefore, after the opening race in Aragon, the Italian track will host the decisive round to elect this season's continental champions.
