A significant part of the 2026 season is already behind us, but the most important chapter is still to come. The FIA European Championship, Champions of the Future and the majority of the WSK events have now been completed after a busy first half of the year.

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.

The first Champions of the Future Euro Series visit to Arena E Mülsen reached its conclusion on Saturday, as a demanding new circuit, ultra-competitive fields and a series of dramatic twists combined to produce two unforgettable Finals. After Qualifying, Qualifying Heats and Superheats had set the stage, Round 3 victories were ultimately decided by late overtakes, penalties and standout recovery drives in both OK Junior and OK.

With Round 2 of the FIA Karting European Championship OK-OKJ now completed at the Valencia circuit in Spain, it is time for the first assessment of the season for the CRG Racing Team. On one side, the performances shown both in the FIA events and in the Champions of the Future warm-up races confirmed the strength of the CRG-TM package, as well as the quality of the work carried out by the technical staff and drivers.

After Thursday’s opening chapter of Qualifying Practice and the first Qualifying Heats, Friday brought the second and decisive part of the Qualifying Heats programme, completing the picture ahead of the Superheats.

Under clear skies in Valencia, the second round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series got underway with a full programme of Qualifying Practice and the opening Qualifying Heats.

This weekend, from Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12, the Muro Leccese circuit will host the opening round of the four-event FIA European Championship for the OK and OKJ categories. The FIA racing season officially gets underway, featuring the most prestigious meetings of the year—events that have launched the careers of today’s Formula 1 stars, from Max Verstappen (2013 champion) to Lewis Hamilton (2000 winner).

The Lenovo Kalì Kart team is returning from the Viterbo circuit, where it made its season debut with a double back-to-back race: on February 14 with the WSK Euro and last weekend taking part in the WSK Master Series.

The wait is over for the Lenovo Kalì Kart Team: on Saturday, February 14, the team will compete in Round 1 of the WSK Euro Series, the first race of the season. This important international event, scheduled at the Viterbo circuit, will serve as an excellent shakedown for the 2026 Kalì Kart chassis and for the new drivers who have joined the team and Lenovo’s Karting Academy project.

After the positive experience in the final two rounds of the 2025 WSK Final Cup in Cremona and Lonato, Davide Bottaro has been confirmed by Lenovo as the lead driver of the Kalì Kart partnership project within the CRG Group. Davide will compete in the OK category with an intense racing programme, focusing primarily on FIA Karting events (European Championship and World Championship), alongside participation in the Champions of the Future and a selection of WSK events.

On Sunday, November 23rd, the Lonato circuit will host the last of the three WSK Final events, which will close the long 2026 International karting season. This important meeting will welcome as many as 400 drivers divided into seven categories: MINI U10, MINI Gr3, OKJ, OK, OKNJ, OKN and KZ2.

It was a very positive weekend for the Lenovo Kalì Kart Team at the Cremona circuit for the 2nd and penultimate round of the WSK Final. Davide Bottaro, who joined the Lenovo squad on the eve of the event, was one of the major protagonists in the OK category.
