A perfect weekend in Portimao for Jeremy Iglesias and the CRG Racing Team, who won the Champions of The Future in the KZ top class, the preparatory event for the FIA ​​World Championship KZ, scheduled in Portugal from 10th to 13th October.

The CRG Racing Team and Ethan Jeff-Hall are the 2024 World Champions of the OK category, the top direct drive class. The event, the most prestigious and important of the international season, was held in England at the PF International Circuit from September 12th to 15th. This circuit has always been a battlefield for English drivers and this year too was no exception, with an all-English podium in OK and an English winner in Junior. For the CRG colours, this prestigious success enriches our wall of fame in FIA events, bringing the world titles won to 25.
 

England will be the center of world karting for 15 days, hosting the Champions of the Future on the PF International circuit located north of Nottingham from 5 to 8 September and the following week the FIA ​​World Championship for the OK and OK-Junior categories. This week's race will be a trial run to define the setup and best prepare for the most important one of the year. This weekend the CRG Racing Team will be taking part in the Champions of the Future with 15 drivers divided into the two categories.

After being among the protagonists of the Euro OK with Gabriel Gomez's 2nd place in the Championship, CRG colors confirmed themselves at the top in the FIA ​​events also in the KZ category with Viktor Gustafsson's 3rd place in the Championship. At the start of the decisive Final, the Swedish driver, who was only 2 points behind the leader of the standings could have won the title, but such tight races do not allow for mistakes and, unfortunately, something was missing in the race pace in the Final and the 7th place obtained took away any hope of victory.

The KZ categories confirm themselves in the DNA of CRG, which for years has continued to be one of the most constant brands at the top of international races in the gear classes. Even on the Aragon track in Spain, where the FIA​​European Championship started later than what expected this year, the CRG drivers made a strong impression right from the Free Practice, confirming once again the great versatility of the CRG chassis and the performance of the TM engines.

The FIA ​​Karting European Championship - KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters will start this weekend, from 4 to 7 July on the Aragon circuit in Spain. We could say, at last, considering that in recent years the 1st Round of the Euro for the shifter classes has never started so late in the racing season.

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. 

The 2nd Round of the FIA ​​Karting European Championship - OK & Junior which took place in France on the Val D'Argenton track also saw the CRG Racing Team among the main protagonists of the event. The OK top-class drivers took part and played a leading role, once again led by Gabriel Gomez. The Brazilian was constantly among the fastest on the track and after the qualifying phases, he obtained P5 on the starting grid for the Final. Louis Iglesias also confirmed himself to be very competitive, conquering P12 on the grid for the Final, just as Mark Dubnitski, Tom Dussol, Davide Bottaro and Markas Silkunas entered the top 36, confirming the competitiveness of the CRG Factory Team. Jindrich Pesl from the Serafini team also joined the 6 CRG finalists.
 

With 17 registered drivers, the CRG Racing Team will be one of the largest and most competitive teams in the 2nd Round of the FIA ​​European OK and OKJ Championship scheduled from April 25 to 28 on the Val D'Argenton track. After his win in the OK category in the opening race of the Championship in Spain, Gabriel Gomez is the leader of the standings and in France he will try to pull ahead of his rivals.

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.

The first round of the FIA European Championship for the OK and OK Junior categories is scheduled for this week on the Valencia circuit, in Spain. The Championship will be divided into 4 races which will include, after Spain, France, Slovakia and, finally, Sweden in August. After the preparation races held at the beginning of the season, from this week the competition on the track will be for one of the most prestigious titles of the year, second in importance only to the FIA World Championship.

After 3 days of testing that took place on the Valencia circuit last week, from today onward, the drivers of the direct drive OK and OK-Junior categories, will be busy on the same Spanish track with the 1st round of the Champions of The Future, the karting series organized by RGMMC as training in view of the FIA ​​Karting Championships.

The WSK Master Series is a classic early-season event and will end in the short period between the end of January and the beginning of March. For the international karting drivers and teams, these ones will be important races to prepare for the FIA events season and to evaluate the 2024 materials through direct comparison on the track.

With 33 confirmed drivers, the official CRG Team promises to be one of the biggest and most competitive for the 2024 international karting season. The CRG Racing Team, which as announced last December, will be coordinated from a technical and organizational point of view by Natalia Balbo and Brandon Nilsson, will be able to count on a mix of experienced drivers and ambitious young ones in all categories.

Change at the top within the CRG racing department, who greets and thanks Team Manager Andrea Todisco, who will face new professional challenges, to welcome the new duo made up of Brandon Nilsson and Natalia Balbo to the helm of the structure.

Last official commitment for the CRG Racing Team this weekend from 16th to 19th November on the Lonato track and then the following one in Franciacorta for the WSK Final Cup, a Series scheduled over 2 Rounds open to the Mini, OK Junior, OK, and KZ2 classes.

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.

The hilly area of ​​Franciacorta, a land of vineyards between Lake Iseo and Brescia in Italy, will be the center of International Karting next weekend, from 5th to 8th October, hosting the FIA ​​Karting World Championship of the OK and OK-Junior categories.

The victories in both Finals of the two European Championship KZ Rounds (in Spain with Jeremy Iglesias and in Italy with Viktor Gustafsson), as well as the one in Wackersdorf in the preparation race for the FIA ​​World Championship again with Gustafsson, place the CRG colors among the most prominent in the first part of the season in the top class with gearbox. To these successes, we need to add the title of European Vice Champion obtained by Jeremy Iglesias and the many podiums conquered in the WSK races, which complete an exceptional outcome for the CRG-TM duo in these first 6 months of the 2023 season.

The CRG Racing Team and Jeremy Iglesias will be in the spotlight next weekend in Sarno, where is scheduled the 2nd and last round of the FIA ​​European Championship - KZ & KZ2. In fact, the French driver won the Final of the 1st Round on the Zuera track in the KZ category in Spain and will get to the decisive appointment in Sarno, sitting just 2 points behind Senna Van Walstijn who, thanks to a better score in the Qualifying stages in Spain, leads the provisional standings with 72 points.

Last weekend the Sarno track hosted the last round of the WSK Open Series, an event where the top KZ category came under the spotlight: all drivers and teams protagonists of the international races, took part in the race in this class to prepare for the next round of the FIA ​​European Championship, which will be hosted by the Italian track.

The 3rd Round of the Champions of the Future on the Rødby track (Denmark), the Series in which the drivers and the teams work on the basis of the FIA ​​European Championship races, was a very productive weekend for the CRG Racing Team. From the point of view of the sporting result, a new victory for Gabriel Gomez in the OK category shines: the CRG KT2 chassis has once again proved to be versatile and fast in all track conditions. The Brazilian driver closed the Qualifying phase in P2, then won the Super Heat and conquered the Final with a good margin over the 2nd classified, demonstrating a truly impressive race pace.

Showdown in Třinec for CRG in the second Round of the FIA ​​European Championship - OK & Junior, where Gabriel Gomez in the OK category secured the Pole Position in Qualifying Practices, won all the Heats and conquered the Final, setting the fastest lap of the race, too. A domination which, in the middle of the Championship, is worth the leadership of the general classification for the Brazilian driver and the provisional 1st place among the teams for the CRG Racing Team.

After the opening round in Spain on the Valencia track, the FIA ​​European Championship for the OK and OK-Junior categories will stop this week on the Třinec track, in the Czech Republic, for the 2nd of the 4 scheduled appointments.

The 4th and last Round of the WSK Super Master Series took place on the Cremona track on the weekend of April 30th and saw the CRG Racing Team competing in all categories.
