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.
 

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.

The informal chat with CRG owner Giancarlo Tinini is a classic end-of-year event, a meeting in which it is time to take stock of the season that has just ended, looking at the year that is about to begin by talking about objectives, both sporting and commercial. This is also a very interesting chance for dealing with general topics concerning karting, thanks to authoritative opinions and points of view, consolidated in over 40 years of experience in high-level karting.

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.

It has been a positive weekend for the CRG drivers who took part in the WSK Open Cup in Lonato, a single-trial event that opens the end-of-season appointments, where you can already feel that the 2023 season is about to begin, after both the OK and the KZ categories have competed in the FIA ​​World Championships in September.

CRG gets back on top of the world of international karting and does it in the most beautiful and clear way ever, winning both the most important titles in the shifter categories: the FIA​​ Karting World Championship KZ and the FIA Karting World Cup KZ2. A perfect weekend for the CRG drivers at Le Mans in France, where the two most important titles were awarded in a single round.

The 2022 edition of the FIA ​​European Championship KZ & KZ2 is about to start in Belgium, where the first round of the season is scheduled at the Genk circuit for this weekend. According to the schedule there will be 2 races for this Championship with the 2^nd and final appointment that will take place in Italy at the new Cremona track in June. The KZ2 title, where 94 drivers will race against each other, as well as the KZ top class one, with 33 registered drivers, are up for grabs.

The 2022 WSK Master Series has ended on the Sarno track and it has once again underlined the CRG Racing Team drivers’ positive performances. Especially Jeremy Iglesias in the KZ category was able to capitalize best on CRG's potential, scoring P4 and fighting for the podium throughout the race.

The 4^th and final round of the WSK Master Series, one of the most important international championships on the sidelines of the FIA ​​events, will take place at the International Circuit of Naples from 10^th to 13^th March. Actually, for the KZ category it will be the 3^rd round as it was not scheduled for last week in Lecce, contrarily to the Mini, OK Junior and OK Senior classes.

The run-up to the international season continues for the CRG Racing Team, which was protagonist of the 2^nd Round of the WSK Master in Lonato last weekend. For the CRG drivers and the technical staff it was a weekend that provided important technical information, although unfortunately for various reasons it did not bring significant results. When racing the main goal is always the result, but for a Factory Team the technical development work is of equal importance and at this stage of the year it is a priority, as the first real comparison tests among the main competitors on the 2022 chassis are now taking place on the track.

From 9^th to 13^th February the Lonato track will host the 2^nd round of the WSK Master, which will be attended by around 350 drivers in the 4 international Mini, OK Junior, OK Senior and KZ categories. This large turnout is a positive sign and rewards the choice of the main teams and constructors involved in international karting, to jointly select the races to take part in, on the sidelines of the FIA ​​Karting events. In this way the commitments of the teams will be more manageable and the show on the track always at a high level.

The CRG Racing Team's first official race of the 2022 season, which took place from 27^th to 30^th January on the Lonato track, has ended with a positive balance. The target was to have the first results in racing conditions for the newly approved 2022 chassis and the feedback received in all categories has satisfied the technical staff of the CRG racing department.

The Lonato track in Italy will host the first official 2022 appearance of the CRG Racing Team. The 1^st round of the WSK Master is scheduled on the Lombard track from 26^th to 30^th January and it is one of the most important meetings for International karting on the sidelines of the FIA ​​Karting events.

From the 12^th to the 15^th of August the KZ and KZ2 classes will compete in the 2^nd and final round of the European Championship on the Adria racetrack, in Italy. After the first positive race for both categories in Wackersdorf, the CRG drivers are ready to fight for the two titles, in a weekend which is announced to be filled with interesting features.

The weekend that has just ended in Germany on the Wackersdorf circuit, where the 1^st Round of the FIA ​​European Championship for the KZ and KZ2 classes took place from the 17^th to the 20^th of June, was very positive for the CRG colors. The CRG official team lined up 7 drivers and could not count on Jaime Alguersuari in the last minute, after he had to forfeit the race weekend due to persistent pain in his ribs, caused by a crack suffered in the pre-race tests.

International karting returns to South Garda Karting in Lonato for the 1st round of the WSK Euro Series from 6th to 11th April. For the CRG Racing Team this home race (the track is only 1 km away from the factory) will represent a new opportunity to prepare for the FIA ​​events, which will begin in May.

CRG is pleased to announce a new important technical collaboration agreement with the NGM Motorsport team, which from the 2021 season will use CRG technical material in all categories and championships in which the team will take part. In particular, the collaboration with CRG will be very close for the KZ2 category, in which the Venetian team will line up three drivers of undisputed value: Giacomo Pollini, Natalia Balbo and Leonardo Bizzotto. NGM Motorsport is a very important reality in the field of national and international karting and boasts in its palmares various Italian titles and two prestigious placings in FIA events: 3rd place in the KZ2 World Cup last year and 2nd place in the European Championship 2018.

The Rok Cup Superfinal has always had great female protagonists. Girls were able to give their opponents a lot of trouble. In this edition run on the Franciacorta Kart Track, the strongest Rokkers raced together in the Super Rok, with Gaia Cardinali in the Junior Rok, Natalia Balbo in the Shifter and the Bàbickovà sisters in the Senior.
