The second and final round of the FIA European Championship, held in Sarno, confirmed CRG’s position at the sharp end of the KZ categories. During the decisive weekend in Italy, Viktor Gustafsson finished 5th in the Final after securing pole position for the Super Heat at the end of the heats, ultimately closing the championship in 3rd place, just 12 points behind the winner.

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.

The 2026 International Karting season has already begun. Next week, with the first tests at the Muro Leccese track, engines will officially fire up for a new and exciting season of racing. The CRG colours will once again be represented across every category by the CRG Racing Team, the racing squad which — in the company’s 40th anniversary year — aims to further enrich its prestigious palmarès, which currently boasts 27 World titles and 25 FIA World Cups.

Fortec Motorsports has confirmed that Franciszek Cegielski will join the team in 2026, making his car racing debut in the GB4 Championship.

This past weekend, the FIA European Championship for the OK and OK Junior categories concluded at the Rødby circuit in Denmark, with a splendid victory for the CRG Racing Team. Viktor Gustavsson won the Final in the OK category ahead of his teammate Davide Bottaro, securing a fantastic one-two finish.

This weekend, at the Rødby circuit in Denmark, the final round of the four-race FIA European Championship for OK and OK Junior will take place. The paddock for the direct-drive categories has been in Denmark for over ten days, as all the teams took part in the pre-race COTF last weekend and in collective testing the week before.

The third and final round of the FIA European Championship 2025 for the KZ and KZ2 categories took place at the Mülsen circuit in Germany. It was an unusual season, marked by several key withdrawals that led to a worryingly thin entry list and many performances affected by external technical factors that were difficult to evaluate.

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.

Noah Wolfe will benefit from continued valuable support from VAR by Birel in his quest for honours in a multitude of kart championships around Europe next year.

A long and positive racing season for the CRG Racing Team came to an end with the 2nd Round of the WSK Final Cup on the Cremona track. This last international event of the year confirmed the great competitiveness achieved in the OK Junior category, where work is underway towards 2025 and where Sebastian Minns and Asher Ochstein have had a weekend as great protagonists since the eliminatory Heats.

The 3rd Round of the FIA ​​European Championship once again confirmed CRG colors among the protagonists of International karting, in particular in the OK category with Louis Iglesias, who started from the 2nd row in the Final, after the excellent performances in the Qualifying Practice, Heats and Super Heats. 

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.

It’s been a month packed with action for the Sauber Academy, with testing, racing, simulator work and training. As March unfolded, four of our five young drivers officially kicked off their respective 2024 campaigns between Europe, the Middle East, and Japan.

With the first three rounds of the WSK Super Master Series held in Lonato, Cremona, and Franciacorta officially closed, it is time for CRG to take stock of this season's start. The 2024 chassis gave the feedback we expected and the inclusion of new drivers was also positive.

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.

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.
