The most important event of the season for the Shifter categories, the FIA ​​World Championship KZ-KZ2 and KZ2 Masters which took place in Portugal, confirmed the CRG colors among the most competitive in these categories, which have always been very relevant in terms of importance on the karting world market. The seal of prestige in a weekend heavily influenced by the weather came with the podium in KZ2 by Paavo Tonteri, P3 at the end of a journey always among the big names, starting from Qualifying Practice.

The CRG chassis clearly made the difference at Muret during the FFSA Karting French Championship. Jules Avril dominated the National category from pole position to the Final, with the invaluable assistance of the Ludo Racing team. After Louis Iglesias in 2022 and Hugo Martiniello in 2023, CRG was crowned champion for the third year in succession. The event also saw Guillaume Pous of the OKS team win the French Masters Championship. These two titles confirm the work and investment from CRG France with the support of the Italian factory.

The Warriors who qualified for the eleventh edition of the IWF23 put on an absolutely incredible show over four days of competition on the Algarve circuit in Portimao. IAME Motorsport confirmed the success of its organisations throughout the world, which ended in apotheosis with this very high-level final. In the south of Portugal, Khali Atkins in the X30 Senior class, Harry Bartle in the X30 Junior class, Will Green in the X30 Mini class and Viktor Öberg in the X30 Master class were crowned after some thrilling races, in what turned out to be very pleasant weather at the end of October. 

The first official day of competition at the IWF23 was eagerly awaited by all the competitors, and it kicked off the hostilities with great intensity. Nothing was easy for the drivers and teams in the south of Portugal, due to the changing weather conditions. The rankings from the Free Practice sessions did not always hold, resulting in some particularly hotly contested first Qualifying Heats. A lot can happen between now and the end of the Finals in all categories for the 367 entrants...
