In the last few days, the Kalì Kart Racing Team has formalized a double competitive program for Simone Bianco in the second part of the season. Together with his commitment in the KZ2 class, a category in which he had his debut this year to gain experience in the WSK races and in the Italian Championship, the Lombard driver, in fact, will also take part in an OK program with the aim of attending the FIA​​World Championship in England.
 

The growth of the technical sector continues within the official Kalì Kart Racing Team. The Tinini Group team, in fact, has announced the arrival of Mariano De Faveri with the title of full-time Chief Technician starting from April.

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 weekend that just ended on the Třinec track in the Czech Republic was a very positive one: Gabriel Gomez dominated the scene in the OK category of the 2nd Round of the Champions of the Future, finishing the Final in P2.

A sunny week has given teams and drivers taking part in the 1^st Round of the WSK Super Master Series the chance to complete an important work program and get very useful feedback from the track. The CRG Team lined up 19 drivers split into the 4 categories of this first competitive Round of the season, closing the event with a very positive balance, from all points of view.

The 1^st Round of the WSK Euro Series which took place in Lonato from 14^th to 17^th July ended with a positive balance from the performance point of view. In the KZ top class, Jeremy Iglesias won the Pre-Final and started from pole for the Final, finishing the race in P2 after an unlucky start in which he lost 2 positions. On the podium with him was also Viktor Gustafsson, P3 at the finish line in front of Alex Irlando and Jorge Pescador, who finished the race in P4 and P5 completing the parade of CRG drivers in the top positions.

The 3^rd round of the Champions of the Future promoted by RGMMC was an opportunity for all the most important teams of the OK and OK-Junior classes to prepare for the next stage of the FIA ​​European Championship OK and OK-Junior, which will take place on the Swedish circuit on June 5^th.

All the big names in the OK and OK-Junior classes of International Karting will be in Portugal this weekend for the 1^st Round of the Champions of the Future, the four-round tournament that will serve as a prologue to the FIA ​​European Championship.

Even if the CRG team will take part in the XX Copa de Campeones in Zuera next December, the long competitive season of international meetings for the Mini, OK-Junior, OK and KZ classes has essentially ended with the WSK Final in Adria.

The 2^nd and Final Round of the WSK Open Cup, which took place in Adria from 29 September to 3 October, has ended with a positive 2^nd place for Jeremy Iglesias in the KZ category. Paavo Tonteri has also been under the spotlights in the class with the gearbox: after obtaining the 4^th place in qualifying, he conquered the pole position for the Pre-final in the heats.

The Brazilian Olin Galli, official driver of CRG Brasil, will join the CRG Racing Team for the last round of the FIA ​​European Championship - OK, scheduled at the Zuera track from 22^nd to 25^th July.

The CRG Racing Team is back on the track for the WSK Euro Series at the Sarno circuit from the 23^rd to the 27^th of June after the positive weekend at Wackersdorf, in Germany. This event is particularly interesting for the OK and OK Junior classes that will compete here on the same track in the 3^rd Round of the European Championship in 15 days.

There was much expectation for the 1st round of the Spanish Karting Championship, that took place last weekend on the Campillos track because it matched with Jaime Alguersuari's return to go-kart races. The former F1 driver, in fact, while waiting to make his debut with the official CRG team in Wackerdorf in the 1st Round of the European Championship, took part in his shakedown with the CRG colors (MDC Racing) in the KZ class in the Spanish National Championship, confirming whatever good that has already emerged in the tests.

Despite the ongoing Covid emergency, the WSK Master Series took place regularly and for the CRG team, it was an excellent test bench, to measure the work done during the winter from a technical point of view and to allow new drivers to get the right feeling with the chassis and the team staff.

Arthur Rogeon had his second race of the season in the WSK Super Master Series near Naples. The youngster from Laval, France fought like a lion on the newly-renovated Sarno circuit as his team put in a huge effort to turn round a situation that seemed compromised from the outset. This fighting spirit paid off and propelled the no. 253 CRG-IAME driver into the final. He rounded off his weekend by moving up 27 places in the race itself compared to his position in practice!

The 3rd round of the WSK Master, which took place in Sarno from the 25th to the 28th March, did not end with the expected results for the CRG Racing Team. However, if on one hand the podium was missed, especially in the KZ and Mini classes where the CRG drivers showed a high potential, at the same time, the balance of the technical work carried out has been satisfying for the drivers and the team's staff. These WSK races in fact, always have the priority objective of developing and testing the technical material in view of the FIA ​​Championships and from this point of view the work done, but above all, the data acquired and the feedback from the track, will be particularly important.

The most important event of the season for the direct drive categories (OK & OK-Junior), the FIA World Championship, will take place from 5th to 8th November at the Portimao circuit in Portugal. After last weekend's rehearsal with the Champions of the Future Race, the CRG team is ready to face the event that will elect the World Champions of the OK and OK-Junior classes.

International karting will be on track in Portimao for the 2^nd and final race of the Champions of the Future series, on the next weekend (from Thursday 29^th October to Sunday 1^st November). It will be a very important race as it will be a test for all the teams and drivers in view of the FIA ​​World Championship for the OK and OK-Junior categories, which will be held on the same track the following week.

International Karting has finally returned on the eve of the 1^st FIA race of the season: the European Championship for the OK and OK Junior classes, which this year due to COVID-19, will be held over 3 races instead of 4 after the cancellation of the scheduled race in Kristianstad, Sweden. Spain also risked to be cancelled due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus in the region of Aragón, but the FIA promoter managed to confirm the event and, albeit with many precautions, without the public as spectators and with many drivers being absent, the season will officially begin. After Spain, the season events move to the Italian track in Sarno on August 23^rd and will close in Germany in Wackersdorf on September 13^th.

The double round of the WSK Master, held in Adria from June 29^th to July 5^th, ended with a positive balance for the CRG team. The team’s target was being back at work after the lockdown only with the KZ drivers, in view of the FIA European Championship that will take place on this track in August. The team decided to concentrate only on the KZ classes, postponing the return on track for the OK Junior, OK and Mini drivers at the WSK Euro Series in Sarno.
