Arthur's program for 2021 will include the transition to the OK category and will include the FIA European and World Championships, the Champions of the Future series and some WSK races. His goal is to gain experience in the most important category of Karting and then aim for important results in 2022, as he explains: "We chose to join CRG because it is one of the best teams ever in Karting, it boasts an incredible palmares, technical know-how and experience to win races as demonstrated with many champions who then went to motor racing. My goal for 2021 is above all to learn as much as possible, thanks to the support of the team's technicians and gain experience to aim to win in 2022, when we will also consider a possible double commitment with the KZ category. Later I would like to move on to motoring, but now the focus is 100% on Karting and on this new phase of my career which will start with the tests in January and the first races in February."
