In the last few days, the CRG management officially presented the 2024 Rental Kart World Contest, the meeting dedicated to the world of Rental Kart with Sprint format organized by CRG. After having already made official that it will be the Cremona circuit in Italy to host this prestigious international event on the weekend of October 5 – 6, the guidelines of the regulations and some new features have also been outlined, especially regarding the criteria for dividing the drivers into the three categories allowed. The race format will be the Sprint one, therefore single drivers will be admitted divided into three categories: the Junior class for children aged 14 to 18, the PRO one which will be the top class for drivers over 18 years old and, finally, the SILVER category for those more amateur drivers, who must be over 45 years old and/or has a minimum weight of 85kg. In the context of each category in the race, a special women’s ranking will also be drawn up which will reward the best 3 ladies at the finish line.
Talking about the ranking, this will be one of the most important innovations of the 2024 edition, in fact, the driver who will win the Final will not be the champion, but the title will be assigned by adding the points won by the individual drivers in each phase of the event, from the Qualification stages to the Final. There will be 4 scores to be added together: those attributed to the Qualifying Practice, the Heats (2 races for each category), the Pre-Final and the Final. Obviously the Final, which will be held over a distance of 30′ and 1 lap, will maintain a decisive role within the event and will award the highest number of points.
The 2024 Rental Kart World Contest will last 2 days with Free Practice, Qualifying Practice and Eliminatory Heats scheduled for Saturday 5 October, while the Pre-Finals and Finals will take place on Sunday. On Friday 4 October, especially for the benefit of the many non-Italian drivers, some Free Practice sessions will be organised.
Like every edition, CRG will produce a brand-new fleet of CRG Centurion Rental karts equipped with a 390cc Honda engine, which will be drawn by participants at each entry onto the track. The 2024 edition will see over 200 drivers competing, divided into the three permitted categories, representing over 15 different nationalities. The organizational standards will be high and will include many on-circuit services for the drivers and an important communication plan.
The full regulation will be published in the Rental Kart World Contest section on the official CRG website after May 15th, while registration will officially open on June 3rd.
