In the last few days, the CRG management officially presented the 2024 Rental Kart World Contest, the meeting dedicated to the world of Rental Kart with Sprint format organized by CRG. After having already made official that it will be the Cremona circuit in Italy to host this prestigious international event on the weekend of October 5 – 6, the guidelines of the regulations and some new features have also been outlined, especially regarding the criteria for dividing the drivers into the three categories allowed.

The growth of the technical sector continues within the official Kalì Kart Racing Team. The Tinini Group team, in fact, has announced the arrival of Mariano De Faveri with the title of full-time Chief Technician starting from April.

Gabriel Gomez dominated the scene in the 1st Round of the FIA ​​European Championship OK which took place on the Valencia track in Spain. The Brazilian took Pole in Qualifying Practice, won 4 Heats out of 5, finished the Super Heat in P1 and dominated the Final, leading the race from the 1st to the last lap.

The first round of the FIA European Championship for the OK and OK Junior categories is scheduled for this week on the Valencia circuit, in Spain. The Championship will be divided into 4 races which will include, after Spain, France, Slovakia and, finally, Sweden in August. After the preparation races held at the beginning of the season, from this week the competition on the track will be for one of the most prestigious titles of the year, second in importance only to the FIA World Championship.

This is the week of the 24-hour Karting of Italy, the Rental event promoted by CRG scheduled this weekend at the 7 Laghi track in Castelletto di Branduzzo, Italy. 37 teams from 8 different countries are expected, including China and Ecuador. The event, now in its 7th  edition, is one of the most anticipated and prestigious ones on the international karting scene and bases its success on two key points: on the one hand the fleet of brand-new Centurion Karts equipped with a 390cc Honda engine that CRG supplies for each edition to the teams and on the other hand, an organizational machine that has consolidated high-level service standards for the teams.

This week the Tinini Group has launched the new Kalì Kart website. This is a further piece of the promotion plan of the historic Kalì Kart brand, which implements the communication area, providing users with an online platform complete with all useful information regarding the range of chassis, the activity of the Kalì Kart Racing Team and contacts relating to the sales and assistance network.

The WSK Master Series is a classic early-season event and will end in the short period between the end of January and the beginning of March. For the international karting drivers and teams, these ones will be important races to prepare for the FIA events season and to evaluate the 2024 materials through direct comparison on the track.

With 33 confirmed drivers, the official CRG Team promises to be one of the biggest and most competitive for the 2024 international karting season. The CRG Racing Team, which as announced last December, will be coordinated from a technical and organizational point of view by Natalia Balbo and Brandon Nilsson, will be able to count on a mix of experienced drivers and ambitious young ones in all categories.

The informal chat with CRG owner Giancarlo Tinini is a classic end-of-year event, a meeting in which it is time to take stock of the season that has just ended, looking at the year that is about to begin by talking about objectives, both sporting and commercial. This is also a very interesting chance for dealing with general topics concerning karting, thanks to authoritative opinions and points of view, consolidated in over 40 years of experience in high-level karting.

In 2024 CRG will continue a process of repositioning the Kalì Kart brand in the International and National karting panorama. In the last two years, the collaboration with Jorge Pescador was launched for the Spanish market and the international races of the X30 Series, increasing commercial and sporting activities also in many other European and Asian countries.

In 2024 CRG will manage 3 events in the Rental sector with its Centurion karts equipped with Honda 390cc engines. The season will open with the classic 24 Hours Karting of Italy scheduled for March 16th and 17th  on the Castelletto di Branduzzo track, followed by the Endurance Kart Cup on June 15th on the Ala track, a race with a mixed sprint and endurance format, while the Rental Kart World Contest, which will be confirmed with a sprint format and will take place on the Cremona track on 5th and 6th October, will end the season.

CRG has revealed its plans for the 7th edition of the 24 Hours Karting of Italy, the prestigious Karting Endurance meeting which has become a must among Rental Kart International fans. Two confirmations above all: the location, which once again sees the 7 Laghi track in Castelletto di Branduzzo in Italy hosting the event and the date - March, 16th and 17th,  which places this appointment as the first major Rental event of the 2024 Endurance season.

Last official commitment for the CRG Racing Team this weekend from 16th to 19th November on the Lonato track and then the following one in Franciacorta for the WSK Final Cup, a Series scheduled over 2 Rounds open to the Mini, OK Junior, OK, and KZ2 classes.

The chain of young drivers coming from the CRG training camp who are entering motorsport is enriched with a new name, the one of Mattia Colnaghi. After many big names of the past, including Hamilton, Verstappen and Hulkenberg, as well Gabriel Bortoleto, the new FIA F3 Champion, who recently joined the McLaren Academy or Dennis Hauger, protagonist of the FIA F2 Championship, a new potential protagonist of tomorrow’s motor racing who comes from what can be considered in all respects a full-fledged school for young karting drivers.

This season CRG has been one of the main brands in the spotlight in the FIA international races, taking the 2nd place in the two most important European Championships (in KZ with Jeremy Iglesias and in OK with Gabriel Gomez), the title of Vice World Champion in KZ with Viktor Gustafsson and P2 with Alessandro Manetti in the KZ2 Master World Cup. The OK World Champion title could also have been added to this trail of notable results if Gabriel Gomez had not been stopped by an accident when he was the leader of the race.

The 4th Rental Kart World Contest by CRG has ended with a great organizational and technical success. An organizational success because everything worked excellently in the tight racing program, from the kart draw-up to the race management with the video controls and the spectacular choreographies of the final day on Sunday. But above all it has been a technical success, as the fleet of 40 CRG Centurion Karts made available to the drivers proved to be high-performance, fun to drive, and very balanced, allowing the best drivers to emerge despite 7 different kart draws between Free Practice, Qualifying, Heats, Super Heat and Finals. The problems that emerged were truly limited and considering that this was CRG’s first commitment to a Sprint format event, everything points to a highly successful future for this type of event.

This weekend, from 20th to 22nd October, the Rental Kart World Contest, the international meeting dedicated (and organized) by CRG to the Rental Kart sector, returns to the 7 Laghi Kart track in Castelletto di Branduzzo, in Italy. After 3 years of post-pandemic stop, this important event which was held in 2018 and 2019 on the Lignano and Pomposa racetracks with the Endurance formula, comes back with a completely new format.

The most important event of the season for the international direct drive classes (OK Junior and OK Senior) saw the CRG chassis and drivers as great protagonists. During Qualifying Practices in the OK top class Mark Dubnitski took the Pole Position and in the top 6 general classifications, 4 out of 6, were CRG drivers with the 3rd place of Gabriel Gomez, the 5th position of Louis Iglesias and the 5th one of Olin Galli.

The Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - OK and Junior at Franciacorta will go down in history as one of the most spectacular ever. All the predictions were thwarted by a series of twists and turns before witnessing the crowning of Dries van Langendonck (BEL) in Junior and Kirill Kutskov in OK.

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.

Everything is ready on the Wackersdorf track in Germany for the most important weekend of the season for the Shifter categories: the FIA Karting World Championship – KZ, the KZ2 World Cup, as well as the Super Cup - KZ2 Masters, scheduled from 7th to 10th September. Three categories, 245 drivers for 36 different nationalities and all the most important manufacturers and teams will be protagonists of the event which can be worth a whole season for the value of the titles up for grabs.

Losing an FIA title at the last race obviously makes you feel regret, but at the same time being European Vice-Champions and having many competitive drivers in the OK direct drive top class, above all offers many reasons for satisfaction for the CRG colours. Gabriel Gomez's season was exceptional in the FIA ​​European Championship and only in the last decisive race the Brazilian driver did fail to express himself on podium levels like he did in the first 3 Rounds, when he had often dominated the scene. As in the exceptional race in the Czech Republic, when he got on the top step of the podium, after obtaining the Pole Position and dominating all the Qualifying races. A Heat lost due to a technical problem and an unlucky start in the Final influenced the Cremona weekend, but above all a feeling with the setup and the circuit that has never been exceptional during this appointment. As mentioned, however, the balance of his season remains very positive and being Vice-Champion of Europe will have to be the impetus to go to the FIA ​​World Championship in October among the favorites for the title.

It will be a very "hot" weekend the one we are about to experience on the Cremona circuit and not only due to the high atmospheric temperatures. In fact, the Italian track will host the last Round of the FIA ​​European Championship for the OK and OK-Junior categories, with both titles to be awarded. At CRG there is particular interest in the major category, the OK one, where the Brazilian Gabriel Gomez is currently in P2 in the general standings with 202 points, just 6 points behind the leader Rene Lammers. The battle for victory, mathematically also includes Alex Powell, who is actually in P3 in the standings with 165 points, but in all likelihood, it will be a two-way challenge, which will already start from the qualifying stages with the assignment of the first scoring.

The victories in both Finals of the two European Championship KZ Rounds (in Spain with Jeremy Iglesias and in Italy with Viktor Gustafsson), as well as the one in Wackersdorf in the preparation race for the FIA ​​World Championship again with Gustafsson, place the CRG colors among the most prominent in the first part of the season in the top class with gearbox. To these successes, we need to add the title of European Vice Champion obtained by Jeremy Iglesias and the many podiums conquered in the WSK races, which complete an exceptional outcome for the CRG-TM duo in these first 6 months of the 2023 season.

The second and final Round of the FIA ​​European Championship of the KZ and KZ2 categories took place on the Sarno circuit; CRG and Jeremy Iglesias got there with the opportunity to win the title in the top class, after the victory in Round 1 in Spain. Unfortunately, however, the French driver, despite a solid weekend, closed the Final only in P5 behind Danilo Albanese who, on the other hand, had scored more points in the qualifying stages and in the Final he obtained P2, thus conquering the Championship success.

The CRG Racing Team and Jeremy Iglesias will be in the spotlight next weekend in Sarno, where is scheduled the 2nd and last round of the FIA ​​European Championship - KZ & KZ2. In fact, the French driver won the Final of the 1st Round on the Zuera track in the KZ category in Spain and will get to the decisive appointment in Sarno, sitting just 2 points behind Senna Van Walstijn who, thanks to a better score in the Qualifying stages in Spain, leads the provisional standings with 72 points.

Last weekend the Sarno track hosted the last round of the WSK Open Series, an event where the top KZ category came under the spotlight: all drivers and teams protagonists of the international races, took part in the race in this class to prepare for the next round of the FIA ​​European Championship, which will be hosted by the Italian track.

The weekend that just ended on the Rødby track in Denmark, where the 3rd and penultimate Round of the FIA ​​European Championship took place for the OK Junior and OK categories, was an intense one full of emotions. In the top class, after the success in the Czech Republic, Gabriel Gomez got there as provisional leader of the standings and CRG in P1 in the team standings, confirming a solid and constant path from the point of view of performance in such a long and articulated Championship on very different tracks.

The 3rd Round of the Champions of the Future on the Rødby track (Denmark), the Series in which the drivers and the teams work on the basis of the FIA ​​European Championship races, was a very productive weekend for the CRG Racing Team. From the point of view of the sporting result, a new victory for Gabriel Gomez in the OK category shines: the CRG KT2 chassis has once again proved to be versatile and fast in all track conditions. The Brazilian driver closed the Qualifying phase in P2, then won the Super Heat and conquered the Final with a good margin over the 2nd classified, demonstrating a truly impressive race pace.
