Time to get back on track for the international direct drive categories OK and OK Junior for the 2nd Round of the Champions of The Future scheduled this week on the Val D'Argenton track, in France. Exceptionally, the Finals will take place on Saturday and not on Sunday, so Qualifying Practices and the first Heats are already scheduled for Thursday.

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.

After 3 days of testing that took place on the Valencia circuit last week, from today onward, the drivers of the direct drive OK and OK-Junior categories, will be busy on the same Spanish track with the 1st round of the Champions of The Future, the karting series organized by RGMMC as training in view of the FIA ​​Karting Championships.

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.

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 hilly area of ​​Franciacorta, a land of vineyards between Lake Iseo and Brescia in Italy, will be the center of International Karting next weekend, from 5th to 8th October, hosting the FIA ​​Karting World Championship of the OK and OK-Junior categories.

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 4th and last Round of the WSK Super Master Series took place on the Cremona track on the weekend of April 30th and saw the CRG Racing Team competing in all categories. The Factory Team’s presence in this series has not been constant as it has been used in particular, to prepare for the FIA ​​races.

The last round of the season of the WSK Super Master, the Series promoted by WSK Promotion for the MINI, OK Junior, OK Senior, and KZ2 classes will take place on the Cremona circuit from 26th to 30th April. The CRG Racing Team will be there with a selection of OK Junior and OK drivers to prepare for the European Championship race next July, as well as lining-up the entire MINI team and two drivers who will make their debut with CRG colors in KZ2.

The 2^nd Round of the WSK Super Master Series is scheduled for this weekend on the Franciacorta circuit. Although the 4 usual categories of the WSK meetings (KZ, OK, OKJ, and MINI) will be competing, this event will be the first opportunity for the drivers of the OK Junior and OK categories to work in view of the World Championship, scheduled right here at Franciacorta track in October.

A sunny week has given teams and drivers taking part in the 1^st Round of the WSK Super Master Series the chance to complete an important work program and get very useful feedback from the track. The CRG Team lined up 19 drivers split into the 4 categories of this first competitive Round of the season, closing the event with a very positive balance, from all points of view.

An almost complete line-up for the CRG Racing Team in Lonato where the 1st Round of the WSK Super Master Series is scheduled for this weekend.

The CRG drivers missed out on podium but there was no lack of speed for them while competing in the FIA ​​World Championship OK & OK Junior in Sarno. The most important weekend of the year for the direct drive classes confirmed the competitiveness of the CRG chassis and only a series of unfortunate episodes, decisive in a single round event, deprived the CRG drivers of a more important result.

September is the month of the Karting World Championships and after the amazing Le Mans weekend at the beginning of the month, in which CRG won the FIA ​​World Championship KZ and the KZ2 World Cup, this week from 14^th to 18^th September on the Sarno track will take place the FIA ​​World Championship for the OK & OK Junior direct drive classes. All the best international karting drivers will compete for the titles that can open the doors to motorsport for them and guarantee a very important showcase from a sporting and commercial point of view to chassis and engine manufacturers. 93 drivers in the OK category and 111 in the Junior category will take part in the event, representing 49 different countries.
