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.
 

Two particularly competitive categories, an extraordinary field of 215 drivers, a welcome return to the PF International Kart Circuit, changing weather conditions during Qualifying to heighten the drama and races of rare intensity: the fifth and final round of the 2024 Champions of the Future Euro Series, organised highly professionally by RGMMC, lived up to all its promises. Great Britain's Joe Turney celebrated his title with a brilliant victory in OK, while Belgium's Dries Van Langendonck took the crown in OK-Junior, with victory going to Great Britain's Scott Marsch.

The most important event of the season for the international direct drive classes (OK Junior and OK Senior) saw the CRG chassis and drivers as great protagonists. During Qualifying Practices in the OK top class Mark Dubnitski took the Pole Position and in the top 6 general classifications, 4 out of 6, were CRG drivers with the 3rd place of Gabriel Gomez, the 5th position of Louis Iglesias and the 5th one of Olin Galli.

The tension was already high at Franciacorta on Friday morning during Qualifying Practice for the Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior. There had already been a number of surprises, with new names coming to the fore and some top drivers performing relatively poorly. Apparently, it wasn't easy to get the right setup during Qualifying. While the pole position for Spaniard Christian Costoya (ESP) in OK-Junior was in line with expectations, that of Estonian Mark Dubnitski in OK was more surprising.

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 1st Round of the FIA ​​European Championship, which took place on the Valencia track in Spain, has been a very positive weekend for the CRG Racing Team. Gabriel Gomez was among the absolute protagonists of the OK category, conquering the Pole Position in Qualifying and later winning all the Heats and the Super Heat, so as to also take Pole for the Final.

The 1^st Round of the FIA ​​European Championship for the OK & OK-Junior categories is scheduled for this weekend in Spain on the Valencia track. Over 180 drivers will compete in the two international direct drive classes with the aim of earning the first points of a Championship made of 4 rounds. After Spain, the Series will move to the Czech Republic in May, to Denmark in June, and will then end in Cremona in Italy on July 30^th.

The CRG drivers missed out on podium but there was no lack of speed for them while competing in the FIA ​​World Championship OK & OK Junior in Sarno. The most important weekend of the year for the direct drive classes confirmed the competitiveness of the CRG chassis and only a series of unfortunate episodes, decisive in a single round event, deprived the CRG drivers of a more important result.

Matheus Morgatto and Enzo Tarnvanichkul have just made FIA Karting history. It had been 24 years since a Brazilian had won a World Championship and Morgatto deserved his title in OK after a perfect run. On the Italian circuit of Sarno, in the sun, Tarnvanichkul became the first ever Thai World Champion.

September is the month of the Karting World Championships and after the amazing Le Mans weekend at the beginning of the month, in which CRG won the FIA ​​World Championship KZ and the KZ2 World Cup, this week from 14^th to 18^th September on the Sarno track will take place the FIA ​​World Championship for the OK & OK Junior direct drive classes. All the best international karting drivers will compete for the titles that can open the doors to motorsport for them and guarantee a very important showcase from a sporting and commercial point of view to chassis and engine manufacturers. 93 drivers in the OK category and 111 in the Junior category will take part in the event, representing 49 different countries.

The 2^nd Round of the WSK Euro Series which took place in Sarno has ended with a podium in KZ for Paavo Tonteri and a positive top ten in OK-Junior for Nikolas Roos. Beyond the sporting results, the weekend was very important for the work carried out, in OK Junior and OK in particular, to prepare for the FIA ​​World Championship, scheduled for September on the same track.

The Franciacorta track in Italy has hosted the last of the 4 Rounds of the FIA ​​European Championship OK & OK Junior. After the races which took place in Portugal, Spain and Sweden, the Italian track awarded the titles to the Russian Khavalkin (OKJ) and the Japanese Nakamura-Berta (OK)

Positive results in both categories (OK and OK-Junior), which were the protagonists of the 3^rd Round of the FIA ​​European Championship held in Sweden from 2^nd to 5^th June. It was especially the Brazilian Olin Galli who stood out from the qualifying practice on the Kristianstad track, with the 22^nd overall time, then continuing his qualifying path in the Heat with 2 second places as his best results, which guaranteed him to start from P4 on the starting grid in the Final.

The 3^rd Round of the season of the FIA ​​European Championship OK and OK-Junior will take place from 2^nd to 5^th June at the Kristianstad track in Sweden. Two weeks ago the same track hosted the two direct drive categories for the Champions of the Future event, which was a great test, just in view of this important meeting this weekend.

The weekend of the 2^nd Round of the FIA ​​European Championship has ended with a positive 5^th place for Gabriel Gomez and 10^th place for Adrian Malheiro in the OK category for the CRG Racing Team. A positive result that confirms the competitiveness of CRG 2022 chassis and the excellent work that the drivers and the racing department of the company are doing.

International Karting will make a stop in Spain at the Circuito Internacional Zuera, where from 29th April to 1st May is scheduled the 2nd round of the FIA ​​European Championship for the OK and OK Junior categories.

It was not a lucky weekend for the CRG Racing Team the one that has just ended on the Portimao track in Portugal, where Round 1 of the FIA ​​European Championship OK & OK-Junior took place. Gabriel Gomez' retirement in the OK Final due to a technical problem and the one of Viktor Gustafsson due to a race contact, heavily influenced the team's balance, partially saved by the good performance of Olin Galli, who started in the back of the grid due to a problem in the Super Heat, but able to recover positions with a great race pace up to P13, just out of the top ten.

Everything is ready in Portimao, Portugal, in the Algarve region, for the first of the 4 rounds of the FIA ​​European Championship of the OK and OK Junior direct drive classes, which will take place from 7 to 10 April. After the preparatory events at the beginning of the year, now it’s time for the most important Championships of the season for International karting.

By scoring the overall pole position and attending all the qualifying heats as protagonists with Gabriel Gomez, the CRG colors were among the great leads of the OK and OK Junior World Championship, which took place in Spain on the Campillos track from 27^th to 31^st October. Unfortunately, the excellent performances that led the Brazilian driver to start from P3 in the Final, did not brought to a place on the podium, due to a contact that took place immediately in the early stages of the Final.

The OK and OK-Junior categories will be the international karting’s protagonists for the next two weeks. All the teams and drivers of these preparatory motor-racing classes will in fact be in Spain at the Campillos racetrack, where the Champions of the Future will take place from 21^st to 24^th October and the FIA ​​World Championship the following week, from 27^th to 31^st October.

The OK and OK-Junior classes will still be in action on the Spanish track of Zuera this weekend for the 4^th and final round of the FIA ​​European Championship. After last week's Champions of the Future preparation race, the whole paddock stopped in Spain for this last important event, before the summer break.

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 FIA ​​Karting World Championship for the OK and OKJ classes ended with a positive balance for the CRG colours. Despite a difficult weather, which alternated between dry and wet conditions several times over the weekend, Rasmuss Joutsimies and Rubén Moya López ended the Final in the top ten, in 8th and 10th place respectively.

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.

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.
