With the FIA ​​awards ceremony which took place in Rwanda in the last few days, the curtain has finally fallen on the 2025 sporting season for international karting. As usual, at CRG, it’s time to take stock with President Giancarlo Tinini. The first reflections are aimed precisely at the international season, in which once again CRG products were among the great protagonists.

Since its splendid podium finish in the OK World Championship, Energy Corse has put in a string of top-class performances. Winner of the Rok Superfinal, the Industrial Trophy and the Italian Championship, the Italian brand also made it onto the podium in Las Vegas, the German Championship and the WSK Final Cup, where the team's colours shone in Lonato and Cremona, notably with Italian Niccolo Perico and Estonian Mark Loomets.

On the Paul Fletcher International circuit, this OK World Championship brought together all the difficulties of kart racing. A large number of participants for a unique event, a unique layout that favoured the regulars, many incidents and retirements and a conclusion with the rain in the Final.
 

It was a very positive weekend for the official Kalì Kart team the one held on the Naples international track in Sarno, where Round 4 of the Italian Karting Championship took place. Cristian Blandino took 2 wins, winning both Race 1 in the morning and Race 2 in the afternoon, thus taking the lead of the Championship with 222 points, 27 more than the 2nd in the ranking.

This season CRG has been one of the main brands in the spotlight in the FIA international races, taking the 2nd place in the two most important European Championships (in KZ with Jeremy Iglesias and in OK with Gabriel Gomez), the title of Vice World Champion in KZ with Viktor Gustafsson and P2 with Alessandro Manetti in the KZ2 Master World Cup. The OK World Champion title could also have been added to this trail of notable results if Gabriel Gomez had not been stopped by an accident when he was the leader of the race.

The Parolin Motorsport team has taken up residence in the south of Spain in preparation for the upcoming OK and Junior World Championship. The last meeting of the Champions of the Future by RGMMC series was a very important preparation event for the Italian team's OK-Junior drivers. The performance of the Italian team was very noticeable, especially thanks to the victory for Enzo Deligny.

At the highest international level of karting, James Wharton has just competed in the biggest event of the season's calendar: the OK World Championship. Arriving at the Portuguese circuit in Portimao with great ambitions, the Australian rookie confirmed his place among the top 20 drivers in the world. After a difficult Qualifying session due to the constantly changing weather conditions, James Wharton was forced to start in 29th position, before moving up to 17th under the chequered flag.

Jorrit Pex, Fabian Federer and Gabriel Bortoleto have been rewarded for their results in season 2018 at the prize ceremony of the FIA Karting Champions in Geneva.
