We secured another World and European title with Paolo De Conto in KZ and taken several wins in all categories with our Racing Team, as well as with the network of CRG satellite teams and brands related to the Group.

ers and Racing Team.

Regarding CRG products, we have done an intense work following the new CIK-FIA homologations, while also introducing several technical novelties. We renewed the Heron model with all the updates allowed by the current technology (the model was produced in 90s-2000s and, back then, won the World Championship in 1997 and 1999) and some early tests had very positive outcomes in terms of potential of this chassis. We also introduced the new JB#17 brand in collaboration with Jules Bianchi’s family and Foundation, we renewed our historic brand Kalì Kart and restructured the management of the Zanardi brand, entrusting the Racing Team to Willemjan Keijzer.

In 2017 Felipe Massa has been named the new CIK President and James Geidel’s RGMMC has been announced as promoter of CIK-FIA events. I wish them both all the success in their work and would like to remind our point of view regarding the need of an harmonization of regulations at an international level. This is a job for the International Federation in order to

allow an homogeneous growth of karting,

improving at the same time the promotion coming from international races. I believe it is not acceptable that each National ASN takes independent decisions in terms of categories and regulations, which fractions the market and forces constructors to produce specific products, a process that ultimately ends up in money loss. This and some concrete strategies for cost reductions are the first activities that the new top management of international karting should put in their agenda. Moreover, I also hope for a discussion aimed at changing direction regarding tyres, that currently are too hard, and at revising the front fairing regulations: in the latter case, I believe that CCTV cameras and the work of stewards can save drivers the anxiety of running a race in which a mistake or some bold moves from rivals can compromise their result.

We had great results from our Rental Kart. In this range, alongside the solid models Centurion Senior and Mini, the E-Drenaline range is gaining more and more consent. I believe this is one of the most techno-

logically advanced products currently on the market. This year we will launch the Mini version, which will make our Rental range one of the most complete available on the market.

We are quite active regarding communication, customer care and promotional events, with the aim to combine our products with useful activities and make our sport available to a wider number of enthusiasts.

Drawing a commercial and technical balance of our Group, I can say that I am very happy about the results and the growth we had in all the segments of our market. Our technology is cutting edge in the Racing and

I hope you enjoy this reading and send you my best wishes for a great 2018 season.

CRG ROAD REBEL: WINNING TECHNOLOGY The most victorious chassis in Shifter and KZ categories, three years running KZ World Champion, winner of the European Championship, Las Vegasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Super National and Race of Stars in Australia in 2017, as well as tens of National titles, among which the German and Spanish Championships. Record figures for one of the chassis that is the most representative of the technology and design by CRG. It is a versatile product suiting all types of tyres and highly refined: the dream of every driver is also available complete with TM engine black edition.

Season 2017 has been a golden one for Paolo De Conto. He confirmed to be the KZ World Champion for the second year running in Wakersdorf (Germany), in what is the pinnacle of International karting. He has also won the

European Championship and the Super National in Las Vegas. CRG and De Conto confirmed their role as reference point in all the shifter grades. The pairing De Conto-CRG will certainly be a benchmark in 2018.

The sporting programmes of KalĂŹ Kart are back to the top on the international level. The French driver Emilien Denner (on top) has been confirmed as KZ2 official driver in 2018. He will take part in the most important races of a complete sporting programme, but several novelties will be introduced in the direct drive categories in collaboration with some external teams.

CRG HERO: MINI BY NAME, NOT BY NATURE CRG has always devoted a lot of attention to the junior classes that train drivers and are increasing their level all the time. The entry to motorsport at only 15 years of age has put Mini classes (from 8 to 11 years) in a strategic position in the training of the young drivers. All the main outfits have therefore devised specific R&D programmes to produce high-performance chassis that are also versatile and easy to manage on track. This is the target of the CRG HERO, one of the most successful chassis for Mini categories worldwide.

THE ZANARDI BRAND BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE Year 2017 has seen the Zanardi brand winning the OK World Championship under the technical lead of Dino Chiesa. After 20 years of collaboration, the Italian technician and

Tinini Group, the manufacturer of the kart introduced by Alex Zanardi in the mid 2000s, decided to part ways and the Zanardi range will start a new commercial and sporting life. Regarding distribution, the activities will be managed directly by CRG, while the Racing Team will be led by Willemjan Keijzer, who has been connected to the CRG brand for several years now. Zanardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sporting calendar features an intense mix of international and national races, mainly centered in the north of Europe.

COMPANY / THE INTERVIEW

GIANCARLO TININI’S

BALANCE

A LOT OF INTERESTING TOPICS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED BY CRG’S PRESIDENT GIANCARLO TININI ON THE SUCCESSFUL SEASON JUST ENDED FOR THE ITALIAN COMPANY. SEVERAL INTERVENTIONS NEEDED TO IMPROVE KARTING AND GRANT HIGHER COMPETITIVENESS AND PARTICIPATION

CRG has closed another sporting season

Perhaps, he managed to find that little bit extra to score the big target with us, but we all knew that Paolo is a very competitive driver before.”

with excellent results in International Karting races in 2017, and the most prestigious victory of the CIK-FIA KZ World Championship did not go missing also in this season. The title obtained by Paolo De Conto in Wackersdorf on CRG-TM-Bridgestone is the fourth KZ World Title in the past 5 years, and the eighth in the last 10. These overwhelming numbers highlight a clear truth: CRG is the absolute protagonist on the International karting scene.

The four World titles in KZ in the past 5 years started with Max Verstappen in 2013 and were followed by that won by Jorrit Pex in 2015 and the double win by Paolo De Conto in 2016 and 2017. In the past 10 years, Jonathan Thonon kicked off the positive series in 2007 taking three world titles in a row before claiming another one in 2011. “We restarted an important series of victories with Max Verstappen and now that he is in Formula 1 we can see how important it was for Max to start his career from karting. His trajectories, especially in the wet, come from his experience in karting. Karting nowadays is turning out to be a breeding ground for future motorsport champions, more than other minor formulas.”

“KZ is certainly the class in which we are most successful – CRG SpA’s President Giancarlo Tinini commented – but we also scored good results in the other classes as well. With a bit more of good luck, we could have claimed important results in the CIK-FIA Championships, alongside the KZ World Championship won by De Conto and the European KZ Championship taken by De Conto again. In any case, we also won a very competitive Championship like DKM with Dennis Hauger in OK, Kas Haverkort in Junior and Jorrit Pex in KZ2. Some further satisfaction came also from the National Championships and in International events like in Las Vegas. It is fair to say that things went quite well for us, and we displayed a good level also in OK and OK-Junior.”

What should we expect from regulations to improve karting as a champions training ground? “Some specific aspects need intervention. I am ever more convinced that karting should use softer tyres. Grip is crucial in karting for the competitiveness, spectacle and preparation of drivers to higher formulas. The current tendency goes towards harder tyres though, but this is the totally wrong direction, especially in Europe. It is necessary that people in charge of taking these decisions realize the needs of this world: drivers have more fun driving karts with more grip, rather than on hard and slower tyres: in the former case spectacle is increased, as some overtaking moves otherwise impossible can be attempted. Another aspect to change is the front fairing penalty following a contact. This rule is spoiling the result of several races and this hits karting in the worst possible way.”

Season 2017 brought the confirmation of a great champion of the likes of Paolo De Conto, who won two world titles in a row in 2016 and 2017... “Paolo already showed his value before joining CRG.

«KZ IS CERTAINLY THE CLASS IN WHICH WE ARE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUT WE ALSO SCORED GOOD RESULTS IN THE OTHER CLASSES AS WELL»

What are the novelties for CRG Racing Team in 2018? “We will have another new important collaboration with TM Racing regarding engines. They will continue to give their support in KZ, but also provide some of our drivers with the engine in OK and OK-Junior. We will nevertheless continue working with Iame engines prepared as usual by KVS, a collaboration we have been very happy with in the last few years. Regarding drivers, several of our drivers have already been confirmed, but we are also working at several new agreements and we will bring to our team some important names. Regarding our brands for 2018, alongside CRG, we will have Zanardi with the external team led by Willemjan Keijzer and Kalì-Kart, for which we are considering a collaboration with another team”.

«WE HAD ONE OF OUR BEST YEARS, WE ARE GROWING. WE ARE HAPPY WITH OUR RENTAL PRODUCT»

powerful. But ASNs are still reluctant to undertake this new road. I believe CIK should push ASNs to give more space to these classes.” What is CRG balance of 2017 from a commercial viewpoint? “We had one of our best years, we are growing. We are happy with our Rental product, as I believe we deliver a product that matches the name of our brand. We are getting a lot of appreciation by people that tested our Rental karts. Now we are one of the few companies that offer a complete range of products, all featuring a good level.”

Enzo Trulli, Jarno Trulli’s son, will join the team in 2018. “Yes, Enzo Trulli will join our team in OK-Junior. To be honest I was quite surprised by Jarno Trulli’s phone call when he asked me if his son could have race for us. We met and quickly found an agreement to join efforts for season 2018. Obviously, I am delighted by the fact that Jarno Trulli chose CRG to run the next international championships, and I cannot be but proud by this choice of his.”

What commercial initiatives and activities are going to be central for CRG in 2018? “Excluding the activity of our Racing Team, we will insist on Endurance races with the objective of making our product known to a higher number of people. We will continue to propose the Briggs & Stratton engine because I believe that today it is the only entry-level product that can take a lot of enthusiasts closer to karting. It is cheap to buy and to run. It is certainly less powerful than a 2 strokes engine, but those who tried it found it a good and nice product to drive.”

Regarding costs of international karting, what are the actions that can improve the current situation? “As constructors we are doing our part, but I would say that further actions can be taken regarding entry fees, fuels and tyres. Little things, but when considered together they can make a team save a lot of money. Our Racing Team already has very low costs, even lower than other teams”.

Season 2018 has two important novelties regarding CIK-FIA: Felipe Massa is the new President and RGMMC Group the new Promoter. What is your opinion? “I know Felipe very well, he has always liked karting. I hope he can do the job of the President, without being too much involved with politics. Regarding the Promoter change, I also know very well Geidel, as we took part in some of his Rotax races. They are a group of professional people, I believe they will be up to the situation. Obviously WSK acquired a remarkable experience in CIK-FIA Championships, but the Geidel’s RGMMC Group have done a good job in Rotax and X30 races. We will see...”.

What is the reason that international OK and OK-Junior classes still struggle to make it into National Championships? “I believe that the shadow of the old KF is still negatively impacting there. Nowadays, OK is a great class with a great engine. It is a really good engine, easy, reliable and

LAURENT MARCHANDISE FROM KCM FOUNDED IN 1981, KCM IS MANAGED BY CHRISTAIN MARCHANDISE AND HIS SON LAURENT. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMERCIAL AND SPORTING SUCCESS OF CRG IN FRANCE FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS

KCM has started its activity

with Kalì Kart has been going since the first months of activity, thanks to the meeting with Calogero Vanaria and continued afterwards with Giancarlo Tinini and the evolution of Kalì Kart in CRG». KCM has constantly grown since then... «Yes, in 1986 my father’s brother Jean Claude joined the company, in 2005 I joined too and currently the staff includes 5 people working in the depot, shop and workshop. At the beginning of the 80s the needs for engine and chassis preparation was constantly growing and KCM quickly expanded. Since then we changed our headquarters three times, always scaling up to the current 1.400 square meters structure». From a sporting viewpoint, what are the biggest victories of KCM? «KCM’s sporting curriculum is quite reach, we won about 1500 races in France, taking wins in National championships (KZ, 100cc) and in the French Cup. Our highest point is, so far, the title of European Champions 100cc ICA won in 1998». From a commercial viewpoint, how are you organized? «Importing CRG products, thanks to a high quality and very diverse range embracing all the segments of the market, allows us to deliver an excellent service to all kind of customers, from the professional driver to the karting enthusiast.

in Karting back in 1981 importing Kalì Kart’s products first and CRG’s then. The headquarters are located in Longvic, a municipality of about 10.000 people, close to Dijon in the region of Bourgogne-Franche, but its commercial and sporting activity spans the whole France, country in which KCM has become a reference point for Karting and one of the most important operators in Europe connected to the brand CRG. The company has been founded in 1981 by Christan Marchandise, who, after a past as karting driver, decided to dedicate himself to the technical preparation and commercialization of chassis and engines specific for this fascinating sporting discipline. Its history is deeply rooted into CRG’s. The Italian company was undergoing an important industrial transformation and beginning a constant growth on the International market in the early 80s. Christian Marchandise had his first commercial relationship with Kalì Kart and CRG after meeting Calogero Vanaria in 1982, as his son Laurent – now one of the key figures in the company – explained to us: «KCM was founded in 1981 when my father Christian, a former Karting driver who managed to come 4th in the French Championship, decided to make a job out of his passion. The collaboration

We also represent several prestigious karting brands like DID, Iko, Ars, Dell’orto, Aebi, Elto, Alfano, Xeramic, Tillet, Vega and Omp, to provide our clients with high quality solutions, meeting all the needs. We have a well stocked depot and 2 members of staff that send material all over France on a daily basis. Engine preparation and chassis management have an important role among our offered services and we can send material all over France in a very short time. We are the leaders in France for this kind of service». Regarding racing, what services do you offer? «We provide drivers assistance during races and also support to external teams, both at a regional and national level. Our reference category is KZ, but we also have a very strong team in the X30 classes and several drivers racing in the youth sector». What is your opinion on the collaboration with CRG? «Our relationship with CRG is great, we have been working together for 35 years now and we always shared the same sporting and commercial strategies. We have been awarded as best CRG importer several times and this has made us very proud. Our relationship is solid and it went through good and more difficult times, but it always had the same collaboration spirit. CRG is the most victorious brand in the history of karting and this is highly appreciated by our clients. Products have very high performances and

top end quality standards. CRG is among the most famous brands in the world and we are proud of this partnership». What can you tell us about the current situation in the French market? «The French market (as that of Western Europe) has been suffering due to the economic downturn for a few years now, and the number of drivers has overall decreased (also due to the several regulation changes), but despite this CRG is really highly present in our market, especially in MINI and KZ. We hold a leading position also in the amateurs and promotional sector, thanks to the very wide range of offered products that can make all kind of customers happy, from Rotax to categories Iame X30. I think that the formula 4T Briggs & Stratton, that CRG is launching in Europe, could bring new practitioners closer to karting, filling a market void between rental karts and traditional racing products». What are your targets for 2018? «We will certainly devise, together with CRG, the best strategy to include France in the 4T Briggs & Stratton project. We completed our move to the new headquarters in the past few months, and now we are working at the setting up of a new truck for on track assistance and we are buying a new test bench. We are optimist eying the future because, despite the economic crisis started in 2008, KCM has constantly grown and therefore we are hopeful looking ahead».

RITA CHUNG FROM TERRY CHEN & CO THE LEADER OF THE CRG COMMERCIAL PROGRAMS IN CHINA IS A VERY COMPETENT AND SKILLED WOMAN, WHO IS SUCCESSFULLY WORKING IN ALL THE MARKET BRANCHES

The Asian market is wide and important, and

in particular China is a cornerstone, where to build a brand’s commercial and sporting success. This mission has been managed by Rita Chung since 2009 for the CRG brand, an experienced woman in business and motorsport, able to promote all the CRG products line with specific commercial and promotional activities for each product, building successful partnerships that brought the CRG brand at the top of the market, both in the racing and in the rental kart sectors.

The she moved to Shenzen in the Ja Jing area, where she is currently running the Xtreme Speedway track, together with the Sanshui Forest Track in Quang Zhou since 2014. The first thing we ask her is how her relationship with CRG born: «In 2009, when the CRG Racing Team came to Macau for the Cik-Fia Kz World Championship, I met Giancarlo Tinini and the collaboration started in a short time and we became CRG importers for China.

Rita Chung and Paolo De Conto after the victory of the KZ World Championship in Wackersdorf. Below, CRG stand dedicated to the Rental Kart range that Nexus manages in the most important karting exhibits in Asia.

How is your activity organized? «We deal with the imports for China and the promotion of all the CRG products in our market, from the rental to the racing kart. GV Motorsport is our racing team for the CRG products and it provides a professional assistance service to our customers, whilst the sales for China are handled by our Hong Kong office. Our company has also been organizing the China National Races for 10 years, until 2014, and now we organize the Monthly Racing competition with our club, so as the X30 Quangzhou Challenge. The Chinese market is constantly evolving in all the market branches and our company works to offer the most suitable and personalized

solutions for each customer. It is my job to coordinate all the sales activities and handle the relations with the CRG factory in Italy. Moreover, I often go the international races to acquire know-how and follow our customers that take part to these competitions». How is the CRG brand placed in the Chinese market? «For sure the brand is very well perceived in our market, thanks to CRG’s great amount of victories, but also for the product’s high quality and the company’s reliability at international level, both for the racing and the rental kart lines. The feedback from our teams and the sporting results in the local and national championships confirm all this. At the same time, also the CRG rental kart and the electric kart are constantly growing in our market». Talking about the Rental Kart, did you organize a sales structure and specific assistance for this products’ line? «Yes, the company that promotes the Rental and E-Drenaline lines is in Shanghai and it’s called Nexus. We have a well-trained staff that attend the sectoral trade fairs, provide pre and post sales assistance and deal with all the commercial issues. The CRG products are at the top of the market from the quality, technology and design point of view and we are having a great success». Among the CRG projects in China, you are also promoting two agonistic promotional programs. «Yes, in 2014 we launched a one-brand category named KZ CRG in Macau, together with our dealer Wai To Racing Team and Solar Racing Team, making an agreement with the AAMC federation. This category is constantly growing and last year the Macau KZ Cup had 33 competitors from the Asian area, with drivers coming not only from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also from Indonesia and Malaysia. In 2017, with CRG’s direct support, the Shanghai’s Jiuxin Events launched the GPKS Program project in the young drivers’ sector. The goal is raising young Asian drivers, training them with identical karts to allow the children to stand out at the same

conditions, but also with lessons held by professional tutors, stages and physical activity to complete the drivers’ profile. With this project, we want to improve the level of Asian drivers in the international races». Which are your goals for the future? «We wish to improve the level and the preparation of our drivers, so that they can take part to the Cik-Fia, Wsk and X30 International races and then continue in the ladder of motorsport, but also making karting more popular with our promotional programs, whose goal is creating new practitioners».

MANFRED BRANDL FROM PRESPO MANFRED BRANDL FROM PRESPO, IMPORTER FOR GERMANY PRESPO IS ONE OF CRG’S MOST SUCCESSFUL OPERATORS, THANKS TO AN EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION ABLE TO WORK IN ALL THE MARKET’S BRANCHES

We met Manfred Brandl, Prespo’s

key man, a company that has been importing CRG’s products for the German market since 1996. Prespo represents one of the sector’s excellences, as it is organized in a rational way in order to be close to the needs of every market branch, from the top level racing to the hobby one. From the commercial and customer care point of view, a strategic role is played by the e-commerce activities, that allowed Prespo to become a well-known dealer even outside German boundaries. Our first question is how

How is the commercial and sporting structure organized? «The key of our success is the network and the organization. This strategy is based on the fact that my co-workers and I cannot be present in every place every weekend and, at the same time, organize the logistics with quick spare parts deliveries, offer assistance and answers to the customers’ questions and follow the agonistic activity on the track.

COMPANY / THE INTERVIEW

MICHEL VACIRCA FROM CRG HOLLAND MICHEL VACIRCA IN 1981 WON THE JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. TEN YEARS LATER HE FOUNDING CRG HOLLAND BECOMING A REFERENCE TEAM AND DEALER FOR CRG

An eclectic figure, integral part of the CRG world. Michel Vacirca, 50 years old Dutch, has been a strong karting driver before turning into team manager, founder and general manager of CRG Holland, the historic satellite team of CRG.

«I won quite a bit as a driver – Michel Vacirca told us – including a Junior World Championship in 1981 in Locarno – Switzerland. In that year there were only two categories – Junior and Senior – and one type of tyres, kart and engine. Things were quite different back then. I won that Championship with an Allkart pushed by a Pcr engine unit. Then I moved to Kalì Kart which basically is where my long relationship with CRG and Giancarlo Tinini started. I run my last race in Formula K in 1991 in Hong Kong alongside Alex Zanardi. He obviously won it, but that was quite a peculiar race as we had to repeat the start 7 times: he wanted to be clever, but I wasn’t less so either. In the end he took the win, but when we bump again into each other we happily recall those seven starts from the front row. This would be impossible nowadays, as if you jump the start now you go directly to the last row of the grid in the next one».

Nico Hülkenberg in action on a CRG kart in category 100 Junior in 2001. He has been raised in karting by Michel Vacirca before moving to CRG Racing Team.

«I have always liked being a mechanic and taking care of the management aspect of the race. Back in 1991, I thought I could hang up my racing helmet and take on this more technical role. I have never smoked nor drank in my whole life, I have never made it to the track thinking to just have fun, but I have always dedicated myself totally to the technical and organization side of things. When I started as a manager I did not have money and banks did not feel like lending me the money I needed to get this activity going: they did not get what go-karting was. This is why I discussed my idea with Giancarlo Tinini, who helped out making me start as reseller for Holland first and then Germany. I started winning a lot in Germany with my new team CRG Holland supported by CRG and I extended my reselling activity to Scandinavia with a good success. My team has always been called CRG Holland because Giancarlo Tinini gave me this great chance and I never wanted to put my name before that». The relationship with CRG has become special... «Absolutely. We now work in synergy with CRG, both on the technical and sporting side. We built a relationship that goes far beyond business and this is great. I had the chance to learn some Italian in all

How did you decide to manage a team?

these years and this allowed me to establish a close relationship with Giancarlo Tinini and all the key figures at CRG, but also to extend my working presence in Italy, which is a difficult market considering the strong presence of karting companies there. CRG Holland has become a reference team and dealer in Europe because we have a direct connection with the technical know-how of the home factory. This privileged relationship has grown over the years and produced a lot of sporting and commercial success stories, and allows us to provide our customers and drivers with high level standards that are delivered with the professionalism and passion of our technical staff».

Michel Vacirca, 50 years old Dutch, has raced on Kalì Kart. He has then become team manager, founder and manager of CRG Holland.

CRG Holland had several successful drivers among its fields over the years... «Pex brothers are currently the most competitive and known CRG Holland drivers, but before them, their father Richard and his older brother Yard raced with me more than twenty years ago. Now their family tradition continues with Jorrit and Stan that are both top drivers in KZ1. Among my drivers, I proudly had Max Verstappen at the onset of his career. His father Jos bought Max’s first material for MINI Kart from me. Giancarlo Tinini supported Max Verstappen since the beginning and what happened with CRG after that is in the history of karting. Among my drivers, I happily remember Fernando Alonso, «Benjamini», and all the victories taken with Giedo van der Garde, Rick Dreezen and Nico Hülkenberg, who has basically run his whole karting career with me. We currently have several potential champions in our International and German Championship lineups». Who is the driver you are most fond of? «Certainly Hülkenberg, due to human motivations that go beyond the (exceptional) results we obtained together. Nico’s father totally entrusted me with his son when he was only 8 years old. He trusted me a lot and allowed me to live a full time experience with a special boy that, despite being very young, showed great driving talent and an exceptional character. I have been rewarded with a lot of satisfaction by him. Things were different with

Verstappen, because his father Jos was always with him, while I was alone with Nico Hülkenberg. I was like a second dad to him, traveling trough Europe full time. I always had a great relationship with the Hülkenberg family, a strict bond that still continues. One thing is sure, it takes a special mother and father to get a thoroughbred driver. Surely, training makes better drivers, but without a dad like Jos and a mum like the karting champion Sophie-Marie Kumpen it would have been harder to get a champion of the likes of Max Verstappen».

COMPANY / THE INTERVIEW

GAMOTO THE GAMOTO TEAM IS ONE OF THE MOST WINNING IN THE MINI CATEGORY AND, THANKS TO ITS TECHNICIANS’ EXPERIENCE AND SPECIALIZATION, IT SHAPED MANY YOUNG TALENTS THAT MOVED TO THE CRG OFFICIAL TEAM

Modern karting has undergone

important developments in the recent years, in terms of professionalism and competitiveness of all its sectors, which led to the organization and foundation of highly specialized teams. This was unthinkable in the past, but it is very actual now. Team Gamoto – the CRG satellite team dedicated exclusively to Mini – is an example of this process. Category Mini features an always wider presence of very young drivers aged from 9 to 12 and in Italy it found a fertile ground and an important international space, with drivers joining from all over the world. Gamoto is a Sicilian company founded by Vincenzo Gatto, the acronym in fact adds the initials of the owner’s surname to the suffix «moto», which stands for motorsport. In a few years, it became the synonym of young karting talents. The team is characterized by the exclusive presence in Mini, through a project that also involved Vincenzo’s son Salvatore (aka Toti), who has an important karting experience featuring the participation to European and World Championships and motorsport’s Formula 3 and Formula Masters in his past. The experience acquired in several decades with CRG has now become business strategic and very formative for young drivers that, according to current regulations, can switch to motorsport at 15 years of age. «We have always appreciated an outfit like CRG – Toti Gatto stated – since the times of Kalì Kart. When we started this new karting programme in 2009, we decided to focus on Mini with the important support of CRG in a strengthened partnership. Our role is

to train the young generation of drivers preparing them for their future at CRG». «Back then – Vincenzo Gatto continues – CRG did not have a junior team. We put ourselves fowrard to CRG President Giancarlo Tinini to take care of this sector with the creation of a CRG team dedicated to Mini aimed at introducing drivers to higher categories. This is exactly what we did. Results have been promising since the beginning, for us as well as for CRG, and several young talents have successfully started their karting career in the factory team». What are the strengths of CRG’s racing product you employ? VINCENZO GATTO: «Definitely reliability. It is a high end product that is constantly updated and developed, thanks also to the advice of my son Toti, who works on the chassis and to the availability of the factory to follow our proposals. Giancarlo

Below, Vincenzo (on the left) and Salvatore Gatto owners of the Gamoto Team, CRG’s satellite team specialized in the 60 Mini category.

CRG GAMOTO TEAM OFFICIAL DRIVERS

Tinini’s interest has always led to the fast update of chassis that is required keep up with the racing world and always have a better product. We can honestly say that CRG and our team have reached an extremely high competitiveness in Mini, which led to very positive sporting and commercial outcomes. We are really happy on contributing to this success and we believe we can improve thanks also to the dedication of my son Toti». What is your relationship with CRG works team? «Our advantage – Toti Gatto added – is that we have a direct interaction with CRG racing department and engineers to timely perform any change that might be needed. CRG is a big company, but it continues to be very flexible and this is of paramount importance to us. We have mutual trust, which in the end goes to the benefit of both parties». Who are the most talented drivers you managed? «This is a tricky one! – Toti Gatto answered – We had a lot of young talents in the recent past. Not to hurt anyone, I’d say that we were recently impressed by the progress made by Muizz (i.e. Bin Abdul Gafar Muizzuddin), because most probably nobody would have bet on a 9 years old coming from Malaysia. Muizz left his mark in Mini, then in Junior and now in OK. Martinez, Marseglia and Hauger won quite a lot with us, and so this year Spina has won five of the seven run races so far! Among the emerging drivers, I would also mention Bortoleto, who is now in OK-Junior with CRG, and Mallet, Gomez, Giardelli… a good number of drivers that now are in higher categories have been in our team». Vincenzo Gatto completed the reasoning: «So far we

have provided a lot of drivers with a good chance to shine. I believe that some of the 15-20 kids we trained in the past few years and some that are currently racing with us from all over the world, have what it takes to be successful. This is also due to CRG that provides us with a great technical support». What is the secret to always be on top in such a competitive category that is also full of competitive teams? VINCENZO GATTO: «I think that the secret of this success goes down to the fact that we run a family business, therefore we can address chassis or engine problems directly and quickly. My son takes care of chassis, while I work on the engine. We exchange ideas and sort any issue». «What my father said is absolutely correct – Toti Gatto concluded – but I would add that part of the winning aspect is also due to the way we manage the team. We have been involved with this category for several years now and we acquired a good understanding of the fact that these kids need to be followed all around, including the emotional side of things. These young drivers are not all equal, some need more attentions than others. Parents also need to be listened to and managed carefully. I believe our secret hides here too: being patient, knowing how get our way around and when to say the right words. Serenity and patience are our secret. We obviously want the best for our drivers. If they win we are happy, but if they do not deliver we cannot wait to get back on track to improve. This is our life, we have always been in motorsport and we have a winning attitude. We never give up. We could lose a race, but we are always ready to counter charge in the following one».

DANILO ROSSI FROM DR KART THE FIVE TIMES KARTING WORLD CHAMPION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE TO THE CRG BRAND: VICTORIOUS AS A DRIVER, TEAM MANAGER AND NOW TECHNICAL PARTNER WITH DR CHASSIS

Danilo Rossi is one of the most charismatic and prominent figures of International

We met him to get to know him better and hear his view on the current situation of International Karting: «My karting experience started as a game thanks to my father when I was 8. In a short time I started racing and taking wins in small categories. The most important step of my career as karting driver took place in 1989 though, when I become a CRG works driver, that was the beginning of a successful story as a driver, but, most of all, it started an exceptional human and, I would say, family-like relationship with Giancarlo Tinini. This collaboration and friendship evolved over time and grew through several steps, first as team manager of the Racing Team and then as constructor for DR. It lasts for 28 years now…».

Karting. Born in Alatri in 1974, he has started his karting career very early and won 5 World Championships with CRG: FA in 1990, Formula K and Formula C in 1992, Formula C in 1997 and FSA in 1999. His name has always been connected with CRG, as a works driver first, then as a Racing team manager (he directed the team winning the title with Liuzzi and Van de Garde) and now through the technical partnership involving CRG and DR Kart – the Kart manufacturing company that has been launched by Danilo in 2007.

Danilo Rossi has a very prestigious Karting CV. He has also contested two F3 championships and a F.3000 season at the end of 90s. He has always been close to the brand CRG.

«EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO A DIFFERENT OPINION, BUT IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DRAW UP A LIST OF COSTS CONNECTED TO AN INTERNATIONAL RACE AND FIGURE OUT WHERE ACTIONS ARE NEEDED»

What do you think about the current situation of International Karting? «I lived the golden years of International Karting and I can say that something is clearly not working now. Leaving aside the external problems, such as the economic downturn, karting lately has been suffering for the too many regulation changes that never found the right recipe to be successful. Costs have raised exponentially, both in the International activity and on the base level, which ended up in a worrying decrease in the number of drivers present in all segments. The «direction» of regulation choices and promotional strategies are tasks for Federations, that should interpret at best the needs of karting operators and drivers. I have to say that, on the technical side, the introduction of the new OK engines has the potential to fix the problems shown by the previous KF engines, but CIK-FIA and National ASNs should push more for the diffusion of these categories on the national markets. Unfortunately, there is still too much anarchy at the level of

«In general terms, promotion must be done at the base of the ‘pyramid’, but currently Federations are more attracted by the top. Federations think about karting as a business rather than a sport, but they should spend more time and efforts coordinating the activity of ASNs in the national championships, rationalizing the single make Trophies and taking all the actions needed to increase the drivers at the base, in the categories reserved to young children». What is your opinion on the recent teams association? «I hope this newly born association can improve the current situation and pave the way to a better understanding and more effective communication among the operators. This could contribute to fixing some problems and positively influence the choices regarding calendars and regulations of the International Federation». Tell us about your relationship with CRG and Giancarlo Tinini. «After 28 years of close collaboration, a few words are not

ASNs and, consequently a too much fragmented market. The International activity therefore cannot properly benefit from the breeding ground of national championships». What actions would you suggest to decrease the cost of International races? «Everybody is entitled to a different opinion, but it is not difficult to draw up a list of costs connected to an International race and figure out where actions are needed: exit costs, personnel, entry fees, fuel and tyres. The problem is that very often Federations, constructors, teams, organizers and promoters do not agree or are not willing to converge on these topics. It is necessary to put the general interest of karting and practitioners ahead of those specific of these entities. In this process, Federations must not think about business, but rather to the promotion of karting, showing the direction and moderating the parts. But unfortunately this is not the case». What actions are needed, in your opinion, to promote karting more effectively?

enough to explain my relationship with CRG and Giancarlo Tinini. I can certainly say that our relationship is based on the mutual esteem, honesty and real affection». What are the most important markets and categories for DR? «The American market is the most important today, but Europe is also quite a big part of our business. As a works team, we are directly involved in International categories taking part in the CIK-FIA and WSK races, but we are also present in national categories and single make championships through our resellers. All categories are very important to our market and our action is transversal to all the segments». You are among the Karting people that decided to have a direct involvement also in F4. What is DR experience in this category? «Thanks to the technical collaboration with Roberto Venieri, four years ago I decided to extend the DR project also to single seaters. I am quite happy about the choice of making this experience, both in terms of management and on track results».

CRG RACING LINE FOLLOWING THE NEW HOMOLOGATION (2018-2020) FOR CHASSIS, FAIRING AND BRAKING SYSTEMS, CRG HAS INTRODUCED SEVERAL TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS Technological content, attention to details and sleek design are the common features to the whole range of CRG Racing products.

As the homologation works regarding chassis, braking systems

and fairings for the next three years (2018-2020) have reached their conclusion, CRG has officially introduced its new Racing range for season 2018. The new chassis will be available through the CRG sales network in the next few days and the main teams connected to CRG are already testing the material on track to allow their drivers to prepare the next racing season.

A lot of innovations have been introduced, both regarding technical solutions and design. Design-wise, CRG had already previewed the attractive new look of the chassis (that will be customizable with the name of the driver) and the new stickers kit that will be standard on all products. From a technical side, the main novelty is the introduction of two new chassis for direct drive classes: the 30mm and 32mm KT4 models and the Heron 30mm chassis featuring a special geometry.

PRODUCT / RACING LINE

Regarding KZ, the successful Road Rebel has been updated with some technical interventions to make it use more effectively the tyres employed in the main KZ classes. An important work has also involved braking systems with the adoption of new discs and pads, while fairings and holders have been updated to provide important weight improvements. The whole range is fitted with new steering wheels, that have a diameter of 340mm and lifted spokes that allow an higher grip. The most significant novelties follow. KZ CHASSIS. The center of gravity

of the successful model Road Rebel has been modified in function of the tyres used in the main KZ categories, which improved cornering, braking and traction. Performance has also been optimized by a slight change in the rear track. All KZ models of this range feature magnesium R-line hubs and spindles, magnesium wheels and new VEN 11 KZ braking systems.

direct drive chassis that have specifically designed for OK and for the main single make Trophies. No real big change has been made to the chassis. Models KT4 and Heron are a novelty instead. The first has a 30mm tubing and 32mm crossbeams and front end tubing. The geometry of the central part of the chassis converges to the middle, and the convergence becomes more pronounced in correspondence of the fuel tank. The HERON model takes up the concepts of a CRG chassis used back in the 90s revisiting it with the current technology. This model has a particular chassis layout featuring the central crossbeam fused with the front end. All models fit magnesium R-line hubs and spindles, magnesium wheels and new VEN 11 DD braking systems. KZ BRAKING SYSTEMS. Starting from

2018, KZ braking systems produced by CRG will be identified by the code VEN 11 KZ. Break calipers have not undergone big

modifications, compared to the previous homologation, but discs, front and rear pads have been updated significantly. The external diameter of the cast iron, self-venting disc that was previously daisy-shaped has now become linear, and the section of the cooling holes has been changed too. The diameter of the rear disc has been raised from the previous 189mm to 192mm, while the diameter of front discs has gone up to 154mm from the previous 150mm. The new brake pads will be orange instead of red. These interventions produced a more effective braking, a more homogeneous wear of pads which turn in a better feeling with the brake pedal for the driver. DIRECT DRIVE BRAKING SYSTEMS (OK).

disc. This new element is still cast iron and self-venting, but has a 181mm diameter instead of the standard 192mm and is thinner. The benefit of this solution is a reduction of the spinning mass, especially in Junior classes that have lower power, with a better modulation of the braking force. A specific adaptation kit has been devised to fit this disc, which includes hubs and specific supports for the brake caliper and slightly bigger pads. FAIRINGS. The biggest change

KALÌ-KART FOR THE HISTORICAL KARTING BRAND MANUFACTURED BY CRG, THE MAIN INNOVATIONS WILL REGARD A NEW MODEL FOR THE DIRECT DRIVE CLASSES (KK 03) THAT WILL COME UP BESIDE THE RELIABLE KK 02

The Kalì-Kart brand represents the history, of karting and it brings back

to make it use more effectively the tyres employed in the main KZ classes (interventions on the centre of mass). An important work has also involved braking systems with the adoption of new discs and pads, and also the bodywork has been updated, reducing the supports’ weight and improving the front fairing layout. The whole range is fitted with new steering wheels, that have lifted spokes that allow a higher grip, making it more comfortable for the driver. The most significant novelties follow.

The circuit of Lonato is located

less than 1km away from the factory and it is the main testing venue throughout the year for CRG Racing team (as well as for the other main teams on the international scene), due to the its logistics, but also to the important indications it always offers. We run a test in Lonato to appreciate the main technical features of the Road Rebel KZ chassis with the help of Marco Urbinati at the telemetry and that of the KZ coordinator Arnaud Kozlinski. I won the KZ World Championship on this chassis, which has also won several other international titles. It has been one of the commercially most successful CRG products for years now. The approach we use in testings moves from a standard setup configuration devised according to our experience on the testing venue, which we little by little tune to suit the track conditions at best.

Paolo De Conto, CRG works driver in KZ, together with the engineer and CRG Racing team telemetry expert Marco Urbinati.

The test described today took place in March 2017 with good track conditions (dry and good grip levels), but low track temperatures ranging from 8 to 14 degrees Celsius. We used Bridgestone tyres and in the first stint we used a low ride height (on the front and on the rear), M 20 axle of 1040, standard front linear bearings, camber 10, 3Â° toe-in angle and 3 front spacers. We also used standard magnesium hubs and a Tillet racing seat. The Road Rebel chassis in this configuration suits most of the race tracks and, most importantly, all rubber. Behind the wheel, its two main features are evident since the beginning: a great efficiency under braking and high cornering speed and flow. The most heavy breaking point in Lonato is corner 3, as reported by telemetry that shows a decrease in speed from 124 km/h to 45 km/h in only 18 meters in little over a second.

PRODUCT / TEST ON THE TRACK Such a strong move does not upset the entering of the corner and the chassis keeps well its forward momentum as shown by telemetry data comparing lateral acceleration and speed. A linear lateral speed without big changes indicates that the chassis has an excellent balance; this is a very important point as it will allow us to keep a constant race pace and to get the most of the engine torque. In the first stint, we posted several 47’’2s, which is a very good performance in itself, considering that the pole position time at the Winter Cup 2017 was 46’’745s and that my 46”887s was worth the seventh quickest time. In the second stint, we made the changes we always recommend to our customers: add 1° to the front and increase the track by moving one spacer. These adjustments improved the corner entering, but made us lose some cornering speed and handling. We therefore went back to 3 spacers and adjusted the snyper to a 2° load for the third stint. These settings provided the best balance of the chassis and allowed us to set the quickest time of the day in 46’’950 on used tyres. In this session, we recorded the fastest corner speed in the high-speed turn one (entering speed 136 km/h and 103 km/h throughout) and the excellent flow of the chassis kept the engine always above the 9.850 rpm mark, allowing us to focus on gear ratio choices and carburator settings to set up the engine at its best. The good chassis balance allowed me to try and take the “double” left-hander leading to the new

Paolo De Conto and his mechanic Omar Valbusa.

THE WORKSHEET CRG technicians and drivers write down all chassis setup and engine configurations on a worksheet during every testing session. These data are then processed and compared to telemetry readings and keep track of the whole work done. This is a very handy logbook to be quickly effective in on track interventions, taking decisions based on all the available information.

chicane in fourth gear, down-shifting to 3rd only within the corner, hence carrying more speed through. Data collected at the end of the day were very interesting and useful, as they highlighted once again that the Road Rebel chassis is very effective and quick even without any special adjustments, which allows the driver to focus on that fine-tuning often making the difference. The test has also confirmed the winning quality of the pairing of the chassis with the TM engine unit.

TELEMETRY The Italian company Starlane is CRG’s technical partner for telemetry. On track, Marco Urbinati is the engineer in charge of data acquisition and processing. He was present at this test of Lonato and obtained useful information from the collected data. The first graph highlights two useful pieces of information to assess the behaviour of the chassis and its handling: gears used in the fastest lap (46”950) and lateral acceleration. The yellow dashed line is lateral acceleration (top lateral G force is 2,2G in Lonato), which is a very important parameter as it allows technicians to evaluate the front and rear grip, traction and braking effectiveness. The more this line is constant and without spikes, the more effective and balanced the chassis is. The second telemetry screen reports some data collected in the fastest lap and, in particular, they highlight the great handling at the “double” left-hander, where rpms never fall below the 9.850 mark, allowing the driver to apply throttle at the end of the corner making the most of the engine torque. Legend: engine revolutions (red), speed (yellow), cornering

data showing (white) and lateral acceleration (green). Current data acquisition systems like Starlane used by CRG racing team allow also not very expert drivers and technicians to evaluate these parameters and the discussed points can be useful to understand what are the elements to keep into account to devise a correct chassis setup.

WE HAVE TESTED THE INNOVATIVE ELECTRIC RENTAL KART OF THE CENTURION LINE ON THE FRANCIACORTA TRACK, DISCOVERING OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES AND ALL THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE CRG-LINDE PARTNERSHIP

E-DRENALINE RENTAL KART The first surprising thing about E-drenaline, CRG’s electric kart, is the fantastic

THOMAS MACCABELLI

design and every detail’s care: from the driving place where the space age led steering wheel stands out, to the bodywork design that provides a very charming image. Once seated, the driver has an hyper technologic steering wheel that allows him to check the rpm, the battery level, the engines temperature, the speed and the kers. Moreover, there are two buttons for the pedals’ electric adjustment through the “driver by wire” system, whilst there is a lever under the seat to adjust it: everything to find the best comfort. There are two engines that act in a separate way on two axle shafts and the power can be managed according to the driver’s experience and skills. Moreover, there is a button for an extra power that the driver can use for a limited time, while overtaking,

Brake system: electric rear - front with power cut to the electric engines and energy recovery system in braking. Wheels: aluminium. Tyres: 45/10,0-5 (front) and 60/11,0-5 (rear). Pedals: drive by wire electrically adjustable by steering wheel commands. Seat: adjustable on 5 positions. Transmission: belt. Racing stickers. Steering wheel set up. 6 months guarantee on the chassis.

PRODUCT / TEST ON THE TRACK

WHY CHOOSING THE ELECTRIC KART The most evident advantage is ecological, as the environment and acoustic pollution is cancelled. But there are also many financial advantages: in fact, even if E-drenaline is more expensive than an internal combustion engine kart, it completely cancels the fuel consumption, that in some countries can reach up to Euro 500 per kart each month. Moreover, also the ordinary maintenance costs on some parts, like traditional brakes and clutches, are strongly reduced. In the end, thanks to the software for setting the power, there is no need to have a double kart fleet according to the kind of user.

E-drenaline’s steering wheel, besides the information on the battery level and power used, has also a button to have an extra power boost and one for the

for instance. The engines also manage an innovative electric brake system on the rear axle, that recovers energy. The mechanic front brakes work only when the driver brakes hard. The 100 A lithium batteries offer 1h and 20’ of constant drive with standard set up, with a guarantee of 3.000 recharge cycles from 0 to 100%. The kart starts by RFID and the driving set up can be made according to the driver’s skills: Junior, Standard, Professional. Among the commands there is also the reverse, so in case of accident, the driver doesn’t have to get off of the kart, and he can go back safely to the track. The engine performances in the “professional” mode are equivalent to a kart with internal combustion engine with about 12-15 hp and they are able to entertain also the most experienced drivers. From this point of view, the CRG chassis is a guarantee, as it is very easy, precise and fun to drive, despite this model’s equipment weight. The limber’s geometries are adjustable and this aspect allows to set the chassis according to the grip of the track. This kind of kart represents the future for rental tracks, especially for indoor structures where pollution would be cancelled, and it can have many commercial developments in the future, following the example and the success that Formula-E is having in motorsport.

THE TECHNOLOGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH LINDE

THOMAS MACCABELLI

If the electric rental kart, conceived as a vehicle able to endure the same working load of a normal rental kart with internal combustion engine and giving the same driving emotions, seemed a mirage up to this day, now thanks to new E-drenaline concept, it became reality. In fact, the E-drenaline project’s Centurion line has features that cannot be found on the market. The strong point was working to this project side by side with Linde. If the mechanic and chassis parts were directly managed by CRG, on the other side Linde developed all the electric and electronic part, thanks to the never ending experience gathered in many years as market leaders in goods movement. Especially, Linde put its eMotion division at CRG’s disposal, in order to develop powertrain with different applications than the industrial one where Linde is world leader. CRG’s Centurion E-drenaline, thanks to this unprecedented collaboration, establishes new standards under every point of view.

CRG FS4 THE PROTAGONIST KART OF THE CRG ENTRY LEVEL SERIES WITH 4 STROKE BRIGGS & STRATTON ENGINE TESTED ON TRACK. LOW-COST, FUN, SIMPLE TO HANDLE AND PROTAGONIST OF AN ENGAGING RACING PROGRAM 50

Ambitious, simple and effective. This is how

we can summarise the Briggs Kart Championship project promoted by CRG in partnership with Briggs & Stratton. It is a promotional project that combines an inexpensive and attractive kart with an exciting racing program. We tested the CRG FS4 on the track in order to understand the driving feelings and have a comparison with other kind of karts. The feedback was exactly as promised by CRG and Briggs & Stratton: a kart fun to drive to be placed between 2 stroke racing karts (comparison made with Iame X30 and Rotax) and the best Rental Karts on the market with 15hp, for what concerns the performances. The test was made in Lignano (Italy), where the best lap made was 56”200, about 6” faster than a Rental Kart and 5” gap from a TAG Senior 2 stroke kart. The features of the CRG chassis is what especially stood out, fun and demanding, thanks to the next generation Racing frame, equipped with top accessories of the R-Line. The chassis allows many set ups, so each driver can adjust accordingly, which are very appreciated, as well as the design that CRG gave to this promotional kart, identical to the racing karts for what concerns livery and black matt coloured frame. The engine is also fun: it requires a precise drive and has a great speed on the straights as well as a nice sound. But the real strong point of the 206 Briggs & Stratton engine is the fact that it doesn’t require overhauling for over 200 hours, erasing one of the highest expenses in motorsport. The tyres are also excellent, as they combine a duration for over 200 Km without decrease of performance, with a very good grip.

THE CRG FS4 LINE

THOMAS MACCABELLI

There are 2 kart models that will give birth to 4 different categories. The Mini model will be presented in March 2018 and the agonistic activity will start in 2019, whilst the adults model will be the protagonist of 3 categories: Junior (weight 130 kg and carburettor restrictions), Senior (weight 140 kg) and Master (weight 155 kg).

The Centurion Kart is an exceptional balance between performance and safety. It is quick, challenging to drive, but also safe and therefore ideal for the market it is addressed to. When one drives it in races, it does not look like a kart devised for rental outings, because the quality and performance of this product are top class. The chassis works very well and all the equipments are of great quality, as the fairings that are very nice and make it very aggressive-looking. Driving sensations are very good, they fully capture the essence of karting. Comfort is also very high, thanks to some simple and quick adjustments that can be made to the seat and pedals. The ballast system is also quite functional, they are easy and safe to fit to balance the performance of drivers with different weight. I am very interested in the promotion activities that are carried out by CRG for this kart range and, after the success of the Endurance Series in Italy, I am pretty sure that the Rental Kart World Contest will boost the popularity of this kart .

can be brought to its limit safely, which gives a lot of confidence to the driver. Particularly, turning in and breaking are its strongest points even if, with the hard tyres used for rental karts, the chassis becomes a bit slippy while cornering, but driving it to its limit is good fun. I was surprised by its performance, that is quite remarkable with the 390cc engine. This kart can challenge and entertain even the most experienced drivers. It is also objectively very good looking and the promotion activities, like the Endurance Kart Cup (organized very well) we are taking part in with Team Allianz, as well as, and even more so, the Rental Kart World Contest, play a key role in spreading it to several rental circuits. The strength and professionalism of CRG are also very important regarding customer service, and guarantee reliability and professionalism in a sector in which these aspects are not always to be taken for granted .

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PAOLO DE CONTO SECURED THE SECOND KZ WORLD TITLE IN A ROW ON CRG-TM IN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HELD IN GERMANY, 40TH FOR CRG. CRG CLOSE TO THE BIG TARGET ALSO IN KZ2 WITH BENJAMIN TORNQVIST PERSSON IN THE INTERNATIONAL SUPER CUP

The CIK-FIA KZ World Championship in Wackersdorf ended with

the last corner, but in this occasion CRG Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver had to settle for P2, as he was pipped by Alex Irlando in the sprint to the line. CRG once again has been competitive and charging for the victory in both categories. Things went down to the wire in KZ2, while Paolo De Conto had the upper hand on his rivals recovering from P14 in qualifying, result that he had converted into P4 after the heats. De Conto therefore deservedly claimed another KZ World Championship, after winning the KZ European Championship in Kristianstad last July 30th. Amazing Paolo De Conto! He has been already crowned World Champion two times and European Champion three times.

another great win for CRG, that secured its 40th title with Paolo De Conto, who won his second world title in a row after, the one taken last year in Sweden, also on CRG-Tm. In reality, CRG was very close to scoring another double win in Germany, as happened last year in Sweden, when Paolo De Conto was crowned 2016 KZ World Champion and Pedro Hiltbrand won with CRG the International KZ2 Super Cup. This time around, in Wackersdorf (Germany) another double win was at reach in KZ2 with the Swedish driver Benjamin Tornqvist Persson, who has been leading the Final until

In KZ, Jorrit Pex has also been shining in Wackersdorf completing a recovery up to the final fourth place, after holding a podium position for several laps. Stan Pex also run a strong race, ending eighth after an incident in the closing heat on Sunday morning penalized his starting position in the final. Andrea Dalè (Nuova 3M) also put in a solid performance ending 13th, while Flavio Camponeschi lost a few positions crossing the finish line in 16th position. Alessandro Giardelli run a strong race showing all his grit the first year in the category, ending the World Championship in 21st place. Macau’s driver Wing Chung Chang run a positive race ending 24th. Fabian Federer (SRP) has always been among the protagonists, but ended his Final on the first

lap due to an incident with Lammers. In KZ2, alongside the second place obtained by Benjamin Tornqvist Persson, CRG’s Fabrizio Rosati (SRP) ended within the top ten in P10. The Dutch driver Dylan Davies of CRG Keijzer Racing was 14th, CRG Holland’s Joey Hanssen 14th, Kay Van Berlo (CRG Keijzer) 22nd and Max Tubben (CRG Holland) 23rd due to a penalty. Some bad luck hit the two German drivers of CRG TB Racing Team Dominik Schmidt and Moritz Horn, that respectively ended 30th and 31st. The two Spanish drivers Gerard Cebrian Ariza and Enrico Prosperi, and the French Emilien Denner on Kalì Kart could not qualify for the Final instead.

PAOLO DE CONTO, KZ: ÂŤThis second KZ World Championship has been quite different from last year. This time around I did not put in a good lap in qualifying and I started heats from the fourth row. I had to take a lot of risks to get some ground back, but I managed to clinch the second row of the grid for the Final, a position that allowed me to fight for the win. We did an amazing job. I would like to thank CRG, starting from Giancarlo Tinini, the whole family and all the guys back at the factory, my mechanic Omar who did an exceptional work and, finally, my family and friends. This has been a difficult team victory, I also want to thank TM for the great job done that allowed us to be in front and take the win. This year CRG and I secured also the victory of the KZ European Championship, it has been a great season. I could not wish for more. Now we start working for the next season, aiming to score some other great results with CRGÂť.

DE CONTO PROTAGONIST AGAIN OF AN OUTSTANDING SEASON, THE ITALIAN DRIVER BROUGHT THE CRG COLOURS AND TM TO THE VICTORY OF THE EUROPEAN AND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THE LAS VEGAS SUPER NATIONAL IN THE KZ CLASS 58

The 2017 season confirmed CRG and De Conto on the top of the world for

what concerns the KZ category. The partnership between the Italian driver and CRG is one of the most successful and winning ones in karting’s recent history and it succeeded in conquering the KZ World Championship in Wackersdorf (Germany) for the 2nd year in a row, besides winning also the CIK-FIA European Championship and the prestigious Super National in Las Vegas. In CRG, Paolo De Conto found the best technical material and working environment to reinforce and enhance his skills, becoming almost unbeatable. We met him at the end of an exciting season, in order to talk about technical and sporting issues linked to the successes achieved, but also to run through the most relevant moments of his career and know his private life better. For sure we’ll start from the emotions lived in Germany when he confirmed as World Champion. «It’s not easy proving oneself when you are the favourite. But the team worked hard, handling the pressure and proving an outstanding professionalism and technical skills. For this I have to thank all the personnel that works in the headquarters and of course the Racing division. I also want to thank our technical partners, especially the TM, that provided us a great support for what concerns the engines». This second title of the KZ World Championship arrived after losing out on another one at the closing lap in 2015 in Le Mans, but then you managed to bounce back in 2016 winning the World Championship in

Kristianstad and repeating it in 2017 in Wackersdorf. «Things went well anyway in 2015, CRG won the title with back then with my team mate Jorrit Pex and I came second. Personally, that was a hard blow as I could not get the win shortly before the chequered flag. I think that this episode gave me the motivation to be more resolute, that was a wake-up call that made me do a quality jump in the following two years». Talking about victories, what is the strength of team CRG? «Certainly, team work involving driver, mechanic, engine technician and team manager, which is far from a trivial process in top teams. At CRG, the work during tests and racing weekends is very careful and everybody is fully focused on the same objective. The eminent figure of Giancarlo Tinini has a special role on top of the whole structure, we always had a special relationship made of respect and mutual trust since the first working days». Talking about CRG chassis, what do you reckon are its strongest points? «The chassis is very versatile and it does require only very few adjustments from the standard setup. The work we do in testing is devoted to this fine tuning. These features are very appreciated by customers on production CRG karts too. From a technical viewpoint, I believe the chassis has two main strengths: the huge amount of grip under breaking and the very high cornering speed». You went through all the karting ladder, from

60 Mini to all the higher categories up to the pinnacle of KZ. What advice would you give to a young rising star? «Karting is a sport that demands high dedication. If you want to get important results a lot of time and efforts need to be put into it. Training every week is necessary, complementing it with a correct nutrition and an intense sporting programme to be fit. It is then also very important to dose one own’s strengths during racing weekends to be ready for the finals on Sunday, without being too tired for the closing stages. Another important thing is to know the secrets of the karting mechanics. It is not an easy sport, it is actually quite challenging both from a physical and mental point of view. In this regard, for instance, the collaboration we have with Formula Medicine is very useful. Moreover, you need to have technical expertise to work with your collaborators in the best way, both on the frame set-up and the engine tuners. I always suggest young ambitious drivers to work with professional teams and, if possible, with factories as karting is a training phase for those who wish

to continue in the motorsport ladder. It’s no coincidence that many of today’s F1 champions raced with CRG when they were in karting». What is your target for the future? «My goal is to keep competing in karting full time, with the maximum dedication as I have always done with the things I cared about. After winning this year both the World Championship and the European Championship I think it is going to be difficult to confirm these results, but I will give my best to win again. I have a big responsibility towards CRG now. It is not easy to race with all eyes on you, every little mistake can cost a lot and be criticized heavily. I think that every race for me is going to be like a final of the World Championship. I will get back on track in a few days, headfirst!». Meanwhile, how do you stay fit? «I ride the Mountain Bike during week days, but the best training for a karting driver is always on track».

CRG expectations were definitely higher than what achieved in the Finals at the

that made his recovery difficult. The Norwegian driver closed heats in 43rd place in what was a sad goodbye to international karting, since Hauger will switch to motorsport next year with the Red Bull Junior Team in the British F4. Hauger will contest another race with CRG in this season though, as he

OK and OK-Junior World Championship held at the PF International Circuit in Brandon (UK). Everything seemed to be in place after qualifying that kicked off the British weekend with very encouraging performances, but heats on Saturday and Sunday morning ahead of the Finals clipped CRG drivers’ wings with incidents and unfortunate episodes.

In the Final, Bortoleto slided in the front runners, raising up to P4, eying the podium. Towards the end of the race he unfortunately lost sight of the pace setters and crossed the finish line in seventh place. A good result was also obtained by Donar Munding who was 14th in the Final, and Ayrton Fontecha Martinez, who recovered up to P16 from the 32nd place on the grid.

All results are available at www.cikfia.com and www.wskarting.it

HANNES JANKER THE BEST OF CRG DRIVERS IN OK. CRG flag has been raised high mainly by

the German Hannes Janker, who was seventh absolute, and the two British drivers Louie Westover and Callum Bradshaw, that were respectively ninth and eleventh. Bradshaw unfortunately could not get the most of the quickest time posted in qualifying. In the Final Janker climbed eight positions in the classification, as did Westover, while Bradshaw recovered nine places instead. A good race was also run by Michael Rosina, who found his place among the finalists and crossed the line in 23rd position from the 34th on the starting grid. The German of CRG TB Racing Luca Maish had to retire early from the Final. The victory of the OK World Championship at PFI went to the British driver Danny Keirle, on ZanardiIame, a chassis made by CRG.

CRG celebrates with Paolo De Conto, on

CRG-Tm-Bridgestone, and Gabriel Bortoleto, on CRGParilla-Vega, the first round of the European Championship, as De Conto scored a great victory in KZ, while the young Bortoleto claimed a good second place in OK-Junior. The first weekend of the CIK-FIA campaign offered good satisfactions to CRG in KZ and also in OK-Junior, thanks to a new young protagonist, but disappointed a bit in OK, where Dennis Hauger was the best of CRG’s lot in P11 and Flavio Camponeschi had to retire due to a technical problem.

DE CONTO LEADING THE CLASSIFICATION IN KZ.

Paolo De Conto honoured in the best possible way the title of reigning world champion, winning a great race at the end of an overall good weekend, that had started with a “near” pole position – missed by just 0.002s and a win, a fourth and third place in the three heats. Stan Pex also run a strong weekend. Fourth in qualifying and in the Final, he was just three tenths off the podium after taking the lead of the Final for two laps before letting De Conto through at lap five, as the latter kept running

towards a dominating win. The two CRG drivers are currently first and third in the standings. The way ahead is still long, but the charts are already led by CRG drivers. Mirko Torsellini’s debut in KZ with CRG has been very positive too. He has been very quick in the Final, exhibiting a race pace matching that of the pace setters and recovering very well from a difficult start due to the 18th time in qualifying. Torsellini improved to the closing P6 in the Final. Former European champion Andrea Dalè also put in a good performance, ending eighth, while the Spanish Enrico Prosperi was 14th and Jorrit Pex, who crossed the finish line in P6, was relegated to the 15th place by a penalty due to the mis-positioned front fairing. Alessandro Giardelli closed 19th his first race in KZ in what is his first year in a shifter category.

> Paolo De Conto, KZ <

THE INTERVIEW PAOLO DE CONTO, KZ: «I am really very happy, I knew I could do well. We did a solid step forward compared to the latest WSK races. We found the right way to improve the chassis and engine setups. Stan Pex helped me easing my overtaking to the lead. After that, I did not have any problems and I took the win without pushing 100%. I feel a lot better, I recovered well from the snowboarding incident. This has been a good victory, it is great to start the European Championship in such a way. I needed that. I dedicate this victory to the whole CRG team and to my mechanics».

MAIDEN OK-JUNIOR PODIUM FOR BORTOLETO.

The young Brazilian of CRG Gabriel Bortoleto has been one of the main protagonists of the OK-Junior in the European weekend of Sarno. After fighting in the leading group, Bortoleto completed a great Final with an excellent second place behind the Briton Jonny Edgar and leading the Belgian-German O’neill Muth. The Dutch driver of CRG Keijzer Racing Kas Haverkort had to retire after taking the pole position and setting the new absolute record of the circuit of Sarno for the category in 59.159s. Alongside Haverkort, Bortoleto had been very fast in qualifying posting a 59.179s as his best time in the first of the three qualifying sessions, which confirmed the great speed of the CRG-Parilla equipment.

RACING TEAM / CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1 - SARNO

Bortoleto is currently second in the championship just 4 points shy of the lead. Among CRG finalists, the German Luca Maisch of CRG TB Racing Team was 11th, the Spaniard Francisco Sagrera was 18th and Jose Antonio Gomez 21st. The French Gillian Henrion, the German Donar Munding and the Italians Luca Giardelli and Mathias Torreggiani could not get access to the Final instead. HAUGER BEHIND, CAMPONESCHI DNF IN OK. In

OK, Dennis Hauger did his best to recover from an unlucky qualifying where he was only 37th. Hauger recovered well in the three heats, but in the fourth and decisive race he was stopped by an incident. The Norwegian driver of CRG has started the Final from the 18th spot of the grid and closed his effort in P11. Flavio Camponeschi also managed to recover well in the heats from the 28th time posted in qualifying. The Italian started the Final as 13th, but had to give up shortly after due to a technical problem. The other CRG finalist, Glenn Van Berlo of CRG Keijzer Racing, ended 20th. Michael Rosina, Hannes Janker, Kilian Meyer could not qualify for the Final, while Callum Bradshaw had the ill-starred idea to put the dropped front fairing back at the end of one heat, and for this reason he has been disqualified from the event. Bradshaw has not been the first to do this, the first driver to do so was in fact a former world champion a couple of years ago. He will certainly not be the last either, until this debated front fairing rule will be valid.

RACING TEAM / CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 2 - GENK

SPLENDID WIN IN KZ PAOLO DE CONTO CLAIMED THE SECOND VICTORY STRAIGHT ON CRG-TM IN GENK (BELGIUM) AND CONFIRMED HIS LEAD IN THE KZ EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP. GREAT THIRD PLACE FOR STAN PEX. THE OPENER OF THE KZ2 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP HAS BEEN A BIT UNLUCKY FOR CRG COLORS INSTEAD

The second round of the KZ European Championship held in Belgium at Genk saw another

Dutch driver Stan Pex of CRG Holland, who was third at the end of a bold performance. The third step of the podium went to Stan Pex, also on CRG-TM, at the end of an absolutely positive weekend. Among the other CRG drivers on track, Mirko Torsellini was 12th, while Jorrit Pex had to retire early into the race due to an incident, and Andrea Dalè did not finish either due to a technical problem at lap two. Julien Deharte was 17th. KZ European Championship: 1. De Conto (CRG-Tm) points 65; 2. Stan Pex (CRG-Tm) 42; 3. Hajek 36.

victory going to CRG, TM and Paolo De Conto. This was another victory obtained showing the muscles, even more than in Sarno. This victory, or better this triumph, confirms Paolo De Conto, CRG and TM on top of the European Classification in the most powerful international karting category. DE CONTO TWO WINS IN TWO RACES. Reigning world

champion Paolo De Conto has always believed in his chances of taking the victory, despite the weekend of Genk kicking off with the eighth time in qualifying. De Conto managed to recover climbing up to P2 in the first two heats. A hiccup in the third one, due to a contact at the start, seemed to put the ambitions of the Italian driver at rest, but De Conto managed to get the lead showcasing his power in the Final. The Italian driver crossed the line as first, with his main rival, the young Dutch Marijn Kremers following him like a shadow on BirelArt. The podium was completed by CRG’s

TROUBLED START IN THE KZ2 OPENER. The KZ2 final

of Genk, first round of the European Championship of the cadet category, has been a bit mean with satisfaction for CRG due to some racing episodes. The first of CRG drivers was the Swede Benjamin Persson Tornqvist of CRG Holland. He crossed the finish line in 12th position, while the Spanish Gerard Cebrian Ariza was 17th, the Swede Andreas Johansson of CRG Holland 19th and Alessandro Giardelli closed his effort in P20, after a good recovery following qualifying heats. The Spanish driver Enrico Prosperi was 25th. Alexander Schmitz of CRG Holland and Fabrizio Rosati of SRP Racing Team did not finish instead. The Brazilian Gaetano Gomes Di Mauro also had to retire early on. Kay Van Berlo of CRG Keijzer Racing, Max Tubben of CRG Holland, Fabian Kreim of CRG Deutschland, Max Weering of CRG Holland and Julien Deharte could not qualify for the Final. KZ2 European Championship: 1. Vigano (Tony KartVortex) points 32; 2. Irlando (Sodi-Tm) points 29; 3. Köhler (Tony Kart-Vortex) points 26.

THE INTERVIEW PAOLO DE CONTO, KZ: «The inconvenience in the third heat did not allow me to start from the front row. In fact, I was given a 10s time penalty due to the dropped front fairing following my tapping to Pex at the start, but despite having to start the Final from the second row, I was aware of having what it takes to win. I would have never expected Kremers to keep such a race pace from lights to flag, and therefore it has not been easy to end ahead of a rival always in my slipstream. It has been a long an tight final, but I managed at best the whole package and I got the victory. Two rounds are still to be run in this Championship, certainly the two wins make me the favourite to the final win, but it is too early to even talk about this».

RACING TEAM / CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3 - OVIEDO

CRG GETS ITS TH 47 EUROPEAN TITLE PAOLO DE CONTO SECURED THE KZ EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP ONE ROUND EARLY THANKS TO THE VICTORY TAKEN IN OVIEDO (SPAIN). FLAVIO CAMPONESCHI HAS BEEN UNLUCKY IN OK, AS HE HAD TO RETIRE WHEN JUST ONE LAP WAS LEFT TO GO. HUGO SASSE THE BEST IN OK-JUNIOR

The third round of the European CIK-FIA Championship has given the victory of the KZ title to

the circuit of Oviedo, a situation common to a lot of his rivals. The stress that this difficult weekend put on the karts is quite adamant from the fact that CRG had to replace 50 axle shafts! The best of CRG drivers in OK has been the Dutch Glenn Van Berlo of CRG Keijzer Racing, who was fourth at the end of a good comeback race. Hannes Janker, who had been a splendid protagonist up to the Final, and Dennis Hauger had

CRG and Paolo De Conto, thanks to the stunning third win in a row claimed by the Italian in Spain at the Fernando Alonso Circuit of Oviedo, success that followed the first two taken in Sarno and Genk. DE CONTO NEW EUROPEAN CHAMPION ONE RACE EARLY. Paolo De Conto secured another fair and square victory

on CRG-Tm being the unquestioned protagonist of the KZ European Championship 2017 after the two wins taken in as many rounds. The Championship will end in Sweden at Kristianstad next July 30th, but the gap accumulated by Paolo De Conto is now impossible to fill by all his rivals. Three wins in three races, a stunning hat trick that rewarded the competitiveness of the whole CRG team and the technical package provided to the Italian driver. Reigning World Champion Paolo De Conto won his third European title, he was in fact victorious back in 2010 (KZ2), in 2011 (KZ1) and now in KZ. In Oviedo, Paolo De Conto was second in qualifying, but put his name forward to the victory winning all the three qualifying heats. In the Final, after fighting initially with Iglesias, he managed the advantage built on Lammers and Kremers, that eventually joined him on the podium. The weekend of the other two CRG protagonists on CRG-Tm, namely the Pex brothers, has been a bit unlucky instead. Stan Pex was fifth, while Jorrit Pex was eighth instead. CAMPONESCHI UNLUCKY IN OK. In OK Flavio

Camponeschi has been extremely unlucky on CRG-Parilla, as he had to retire one lap early due to the failure of the chain when he was deservedly holding P3 after being second and engaging in a tight fight with his main rivals. The chain failure happened as he jumped going through the closing chicane of

Michael Rosina was also forced to an early stop, while Kilian Meyer could not qualify for the final due to a penalty in the closing heat. HUGO SASSE THE BEST IN OK-JUNIOR. The German

Hugo Sasse of CRG TB Racing Team has been the best of the CRG lot in OK-Junior. He was fifth at the flag. The Russian Artem Kosarev of CRG Keijzer Racing was 20th and the Dutch Kas Haverkort of CRG Keijzer Racing was 23rd. The two Spanish drivers Ayrton Fontecha and Francisco Javier Sagrera had to retire due to an incident, as the Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto who got on the podium in Sarno. The German Donar Munding could not qualify for the final, as Luca Giardelli, Mathias Torreggiani and Pietro Delli Guanti of CRG Keijzer. CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP KZ - OVIEDO

THE INTERVIEW PAOLO DE CONTO, KZ: «Everything has been working well since the first race of Sarno. In Oviedo I gave my 100% and managed to win three heats scoring some championship points, and the result in the Final provided me with the mathematical certainty of the title. The Final has been quite tough because the temperature changed, as it was cooler after the hot temps of the previous days, and it also started raining. The track was a lot more slippery. I managed the race anyway and I am really happy for the end result. Everything worked like a charm. The environment within the team is great. We will now focus on the World Championship. I would like to thank Giancarlo Tinini for the trust he put on me, TM Racing, my mechanic Bolla, Omar, and my family. If I have to dedicate this title to someone, that is gotta be CRG that allowed me to get such stunning results». FLAVIO CAMPONESCHI, OK: «I am really disappointed for the problem with the chain, but I am happy for the speed we displayed. I had to stop with one lap to go due to the jump I made while going through the last chicane: I was third and chasing the second. It has been a good race, even if some hard taps made me lose contact with the leader. My race pace was very good and this is very important for the next rounds».

GOOD PERFORMANCE FOR CRG IN OK DENNIS HAUGER CLAIMED P3 ON CRG-PARILLA IN OK IN LE MANS (FRANCE), BUT WAS LATER ON DEMOTED TO A FORTH PLACE, A RESULT THAT DEFINITELY DOES NOT SPOIL HIS GOOD PERFORMANCE

The Final of the CIK-FIA European Championship

stands in ninth place, 16 points short of the leader. In OK, Flavio Camponeschi managed to recover from the starting P17, but was involved in an incident in the closing stages of the Final when holding P7. The CRG driver unfortunately suffered speed problems throughout the weekend. Among CRG drivers partaking in the Final, Kilian Meyer, Callum Bradshaw and Hannes Janker have been quite competitive too. Meyer secured the seventh place in the Final, Bradshaw (who won one heat) was 10th and Janker 11th. Glenn Van Berlo of CRG Keijzer Racing closed his effort in P20, while Michael Rosina was forced to the retirement.

of OK in Le Mans had a sting in the tail end, with the best CRG driver being the Norwegian Dennis Hauger that has been among the protagonists until the Final. Hauger could have taken the win, but in the end he had to settle for a podium finish, that was later on turned into a fourth position. OK. A one second time penalty to give P3 back to Kenneally

demoted Hauger to the fourth position, a result that did not ruin the good racing weekend put in by the Norwegian driver of CRG, who secured the pole position and took the lead of the pack after heats. In the OK Final, Hauger got an early lead, but then lost a couple of places bouncing back to regain the lead, before slipping again behind. He finally clinched P3, but his overtaking move was judged too aggressive and was sanctioned with a demotion to P4. Hauger recovered some ground in the classification and now

KZ2. The quickest of CRG drivers of KZ2 was Max Tubben of

CRG Holland, who was eighth in the Final. Enrico Prosperi was 15th, while the other CRG Holland driver Benjamin Tornqvist was 22nd. Alessandro Giardelli could not find a place

VERY UNLUCKY PERFORMANCE CAMPONESCHI HAS BEEN FORCED TO SKIP THE RACE OF THE EUROPEAN OK AND OK-JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP IN ALAHÄRMÄ DUE TO PHYSICAL PROBLEMS. CRG DRIVERS CONFIRMED THEIR SPEED BUT COULD NOT SECURE A WINNING RESULT IN THE FINAL

CRG drivers put in convincing performances

Glenn Van Berlo of CRG Keijzer Racing, missed out on qualifying for the Final by a whisker, mainly due to a penalty on his front fairing after a contact. Hauger had a tricky start of the Final from the outside lane of the second row and lost some positions. Shortly after he had to retire due to an incident, while he was trying to bounce back. Bradshaw put in a good fight until halfway through, getting up to P6, but then he had to concede some positions and ended 11th.

at the European Championship valid for the two categories OK and OK-Junior in Finland, showing a good pace in qualifying and heats, but the final result went unfortunately missing at the circuit Pawerparck of Alahärmä. That was a shame as premises were very good for the colors of the Italian outfit. Regrettably, Flavio Camponeschi had to leave Alahärmä due to a muscular problem before starting qualifying. On Friday, in free practice, Camponeschi suffered in fact some physical problems and, despite the help of doctors, he preferred not to continue his weekend, as he did not want to risk compromising the remaining the season.

BORTOLETO IN THE TOP 10 OF OK-JUNIOR. CRG

drivers have shown a good pace also in OK-Junior and all managed to qualify for the Final. Gabriel Bortoleto completed his best loop only 0.003s shy of the pole position time in the first session, the Spanish driver Francisco Sagrera was fourth in the second session at 0.219s and Donar Munding tenth at 0.474s. Bortoleto was quick also in the heats, taking the 12th place and a victory. Sagrera was also quick and installed himself in P15. Mathias Torreggiani 27th after the heats at the end of a good comeback from qualifying, and Munding was 30th, as both qualified for the Final. Bortoleto run a good Final closing within the top ten in 10th place, while Munding was 17th. Sagrera had to retire 7 laps into the race due to an incident, while Torreggiani retired from the race on lap 6. The next round will take place in a week’s time in Kristianstad (Sweden). The closer will award the titles of all categories with all the categories KZ, KZ2, OK and OKJunior, the only exception being KZ, category in which Paolo De Conto will finally have the chance to officially celebrate the title of European KZ Champion that he firmly holds in his hands since the previous race in Oviedo (Spain).

displayed a great competitiveness in qualifying and heats. In OK, Dennis Hauger posted the quickest time of his series, that was the fourth absolute being only 0.028s off the pace, while Callum Bradshaw was 94 thousands slower than the pole, and Kilian Meyer 0.224s. The winning performance of CRG drivers continued also in the heats, with Hauger standing fourth absolute thanks to a win and two second places, while Callum Bradshaw took one victory and ended 15th. Kilian Meyer has been very unlucky instead, as he did not qualify for the Final due to a penalty for the dropped front fairing that hampered his classification. The Ducth

RACING TEAM / CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 6 - KRISTIANSTAD

CRG AND DE CONTO

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CRG DRIVERS ENDED ON A HIGH THE SIXTH AND CLOSING ROUND OF THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS THAT TOOK PLACE IN KRISTIANSTAD. IN KZ, PAOLO DE CONTO WAS ON THE PODIUM AGAIN. SASSE THIRD IN OK-JUNIOR, DI MAURO SECOND IN KZ2 AND DENNIS HAUGER GREAT FOURTH IN OK

DE CONTO KZ EUROPEAN CHAMPION AGAIN.

Paolo De Conto has honoured at best the KZ title mathematically won in Le Mans on CRG-Tm. The Italian driver of CRG secured his second European Championship title after taking the KZ World Championship in Kristianstad in 2016. In Sweden, Paolo De Conto kicked off the weekend with a very last minute problem making him skip qualifying. In the heats he recovered well anyway, installing himself in a briliant fourth place. This has not been the first time during the season that De Conto had to start the Final from the second row of the grid. In fact that happened already in the first two rounds held in Sarno and Genk, where he managed to take the win anyway. In Kristianstad, a recovery was not that easy due also to the wet tarmac, but Paolo De Conto has put in a strong Final anyway, taking a third place in this occasion. Alongside the full haul in Sarno, Genk and Le Mans, the third place taken in Kristianstad confirmed CRG and Paolo De Conto as KZ European Champions in 2017. In KZ, the two Pex brothers, that have been protagonist of the German DKM Championship in this season, have not been as competitive in Kristianstad: Jorrit Pex was fifth, while his brother Stan Pex had to retire 9 laps into the race. The KZ Final was won by Patrik Hajek. Paolo De Conto (CRG-Tm) is the Championship winner.

Some rain made the final stages of the

European Championship even trickier in Sweden, as all categories – namely, KZ, KZ2, OK and OK-Junior, have been battling out the CIK-FIA Continental title. CRG colors eventually obtained very satisfying results. The circuit of Kristianstad has staged the closer of the European Championship, after the rounds run in Sarno – Italy (KZ, OK, OK-Junior), in Genk – Belgium (KZ, KZ2), in Oviedo – Spain (KZ, OK, OK-Junior), in Le Mans – France (KZ2, OK, OKJunior) and last week in Alahärmä – Finland (OK-OK-Junior).

Final putting in a stunning recovery from P30, as the Spanish Gerard Cebrian Ariza who started 22nd. At the flag, Gaetano Di Mauro claimed an excellent P2, taking the third podium for CRG in Kristianstad. The young Max Tubben took a very good fourth place. Benjamin Tornqvist eventually recovered up to P11, but was later on relegated to P13 by a penalty. Gerard Cebrian Ariza was 17th. The other Spanish driver of CRG Enrico Prosperi was out of the Final by a whisker, as happened to the Finn Petteri Ruotsalainen and Alessandro Giardelli, the latter despite a good qualifying.

SASSE THIRD IN OK-JUNIOR. In the OK-Junior Final,

which was run on wet tarmac but without rain falling, the German of CRG TB Racing Team Hugo Sasse confirmed to be the most competitive of CRG drivers during this weekend in Sweden, ending right at the feet of the podium, a result that was later on converted into a P3 due to the penalty handed to Edgar. Sasse, after posting the best absolute time in qualifying and taking the fourth position after heats (a victory and two second places), ended the Final in fourth place, but was later on promoted to third, while the Dutch driver Kas Haverkort

of CRG Keijzer Racing followed him. The Brazilian of CRG Gabriel Bortoleto was among the main protagonists of the heats and he managed to install himself in P12 early on in the Final, but then had to concede some positions to end his race in 16th place. Eventually, he was handed a 10s time penalty that relegated him to P20. The Spanish driver Francisco Sagrera was 15th, while Luca Giardelli did not manage to qualify for the Final despite a positive 10th place in the closing qualifying heat, as happened to Donar Munding, Mathias Torreggiani and Davids Trefilovs of SRP Racing Team. The OK-Junior Final was won by Jack Doohan, while the Championship was won by the British driver Jonny Edgar, who was fourth following a 10s time penalty.

DENNIS HAUGER PROTAGONIST OF OK AGAIN.

The closing OK Final was run on a nearly dry circuit and the young Norwegian of CRG Dennis Hauger has been stunning since the start, one of the strongest protagonists despite being in his maiden year following last year’s OK-Junior campaign. Hauger has joined the battle for the lead, taking also P1 for a while, but eventually he slipped down to third until when 7 laps were left to go, when he was overtaken by Travisanutto and closed his effort in P4. The British 2016 Academy Champion of CRG Callum Bradshaw was sixth recovering some solid 9 positions posting also the fastest lap of the race. CRG Keijzer Racing’s Glenn Van Berlo was 12th leading the German Hannes Janker. The Spanish driver Kilian Meyer ended 20th at the end of a good recovery from the back of the starting grid. The OK Final was won by Finlay Kenneally, while the Championship went to Sami Taoufik, who was fifth at the flag. All results are available at www.cikfia.com and www.wskarting.it

STRONG PERFORMANCE BY DI MAURO, SECOND IN KZ2. The Swedish driver of CRG Holland Benjamin

Tornqvist had been the quickest of the CRG lot ahead of the KZ2 Final, but he lost 15 positions at the start. The Brazilian Gaetano Di Mauro, managed to recover a lot of positions at the getaway on CRG-Tm instead. He had been previously protagonist of the qualifying stages on the humid tarmac, recovering up to P2 from the starting P14 thanks to some very effective driving. Max Tubben of CRG Holland has also been among the quickest of the

SUPREMACY IN KZ STAN PEX, FLAVIO CAMPONESCHI AND JORRIT PEX TAKE IT ALL IN ADRIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KZ2. GILLIAN HENRION VERY GOOD SECOND ON THE PODIUM OF OK-JUNIOR. CRG ON TOP ALSO IN 60 MINI WITH ALFIO SPINA TAKING THE WIN FOR TEAM GAMOTO

CRG is definitely still up there. The Italian

his brother Jorrit as Camponeschi was fifth, the three young CRG drivers have been unbeatable in the Final. This result confirmed the supremacy of the Italian outfit in KZ, as happened in 2016 when Paolo De Conto won the World Championship and Fabian Federer the International Super Cup KZ2. Among the other drivers of CRG works team, Taymour Kermanshahchi was 11th and Alessandro Giardelli was relegated to P20 by a 10s time penalty.

outfit started season 2017 as the unquestionable protagonist of the first racing weekend of the year: the WSK Champions Cup held in Adria. CRG has dominated KZ2, took a podium in OK-Junior and then another victory in 60 Mini with Team Gamoto. MAGNIFICENT TOP THREE FOR CRG IN KZ2.

CRG has claimed the whole podium of KZ2, with a top three led by the new enfant prodige Stan Pex, KZ 2015 European Champion Flavio Camponeschi and 2015 World > Henrion Gillian (333), Evann Mallet, OK Junior < Champion Jorrit Pex, all on CRG-Tm. CRG drivers have been cheered also by Max Verstappen, who has followed all the racing action in Adria. After the pole position secured by Flavio Camponeschi, and the red-hot Prefinal when Stan Pex had the upper hand proceeding

FIRST PODIUM FOR GILLIAN HENRION IN OK-JUNIOR. CRG secured

another good podium in OK-Junior thanks to the brilliant French 2015 Champion of Cadet Gillian Henrion, who was at the debut in OK-Junior with the Italian Outfit. The French driver closed his

> Dennis Hauger, OK <

> Flavio Camponeschi, KZ2 <

effort in P2 behind the Russian Morozov. The German Marius Zug of team RL-Competition could have achieved a lot more, as he has been among the main protagonists of the weekend and won the Prefinal ahead of Henrion and Gomez, before ending fourth in a Final that he also led. Jose Antonio Gomez also put in a great race ending sixth, after a great Prefinal, while the Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto was seventh. Another CRG protagonist could not shine as he would have deserved in OK-Junior though. The French Evann Mallet had in fact to retire from the Prefinal due to a spin, after being among the quickest in qualifying (second quickest) and in the heats, where he ended fourth.

THE INTERVIEWS STAN PEX, KZ2, first: «Really happy, it is great to start the year with a win. I think we have a good chance to run a strong season. The chassis has been perfect and the engine was really good as well, because all of us in top three were on TM, I am happy and I think straight to the next races. It looks good for this year». FLAVIO CAMPONESCHI, KZ2, second: «It was good. Only in the Prefinal we had some small technical issues. We fixed them ahead of the Final and found the right balance I was therefore very fast. I am disappointed for the start, I had to get away from P5 due to the result of the Prefinal and I lost some ground trying and close in on the leader. At the end I was the quickest, I also set the fastest lap of the race. Had I started on a better position, I could have certainly fought for the victory».

HAUGER FORCED TO RETIRE IN OK’S PREFINAL.

An unespected retirement in Prefinal due to a problem to the spark plug stopped CRG’s Dennis Hauger run in OK. The Norwegian had been previously shining in his debut race as he set the pole position and completed very good races in the heats. CRG’s colors in this category were defended by the Finn William Alatalo, who ended in a good P14, and by Matteo Nannini, who run a good race but was slowed down by some setup problems first and by a 10s time penalty then, which made him slip down to the final P27. The victory in this category went to Pedro Hiltbrand, who secured the title of World Champion last year with CRG. Michael Rosina could not qualify in Prefinal.

JORRIT PEX, KZ2, third: «The Final was quite a hard race for me, we tried something in the setup and it didn’t work out really well. The pace has been really good for the whole weekend, only in the final the pace was not good enough to take the win. I realized this quite early in the race and I knew I had to fight for the podium as the win was not possible anymore. That’s what I did».

ALFIO SPINA WINNING 60 MINI WITH TEAM GAMOTO. The very young Alfio Spina on

CRG-Tm run by Team Gamoto has scored a stunning victory in 60 Mini. His team mate Luca Giardelli was among the quickest and fought for the victory until the closing stages, crossing the line in P4. Top ten finish for Saood Variawa of CRG Holland, seventh, and Gamoto’s Adam Putera, ninth.

RACING TEAM / 22ª WINTER CUP

PODIUM WITH DE

CONTO AND HAUGER PAOLO DE CONTO SECURED THE SECOND PLACE IN KZ ON CRG-TM AT THE 22ND WINTER CUP, AS DID DENNIS HAUGER IN OK, AFTER FIGHTING FOR THE VICTORY. THE YOUNG ALFIO SPINA TOOK THE WIN IN MINI ROK WITH TEAM GAMOTO AT THE END OF AN EXCITING FINAL

CRG put in a great performance at the Winter Cup of Lonato, fielding a big and

competitive driver lineup in all categories. The strongest results came in the end mainly in KZ2, where Paolo De Conto secured the second place, and in OK with another second place claimed by a surprising Dennis Hauger. The victory of Mini Rok went to the very quick Alfio Spina and to team Gamoto. KZ2, DE CONTO PROTAGONIST. Reigning World

Champion Paolo De Conto did his best to take the KZ2 win at the 22nd Winter Cup on CRG-Tm, race that had an exceptional highly-ranked entry list of 89 international drivers. Unfortunately, De Conto had some hiccups in the heats and in the Final he had to put in a great comeback, closing his effort right in the slipstream of the winner Jemery Iglesias. Had De Conto started a bit higher up than from the eighth spot of the grid, the end result could have certainly been different. “After qualifying that did not go very well and the incident in the final heat – declared Paolo De Conto – the end result has been positive. I am very happy on how things went this weekend, as I kept increasing my speed. If I had started the Final higher up the grid, I could have fought for the victory. But I am fine with this result. This is a good start to the season.” Among the other CRG finalists of KZ2, Flavio Camponeschi confirmed his place among the front runners ending sixth, team

SRP’s Fabian Federer had to settle for P9 due to an incident after being among the absolute quickest on track. Mirko Torsellini put in strong races but lacked a little bit of speed before being handed a 10s time penalty for the incorrectly placed front fairing in the Final. Simo Puhakka run a solid weekend all the way up to the Final, where he was stopped by an incident during the first lap. The Spanish driver Enrico Prosperi had an unlucky debut and could not qualify for the Final due to a series of issues, as happened to Alessandro Giardelli and Marco Valenti that accumulated some delay in the heats. HAUGER RULING IN OK. The Norwegian driver of

CRG Dennis Hauger has been dominating OK on CRG-Parilla, despite this being his first season in OK following last year’s debut in OK Junior. Hauger found his place among the main protagonists also in this category, fighting equal with more experienced drivers. In the Final he also managed to get the lead, before being pushed down to P4 and then climbing up again to P2, engaging a battle for the victory. He put in a great performance, closing his > Paolo De Conto, KZ2 < race right in Travisanutto’s slipstream, as the latter led a Zanardi kart back to the victory. Regarding the other CRG finalists of OK, the Spanish Kilian Meyer was 14th, Michael Rosina 19th and Callum Bradshaw 21st, while William Alatalo had to retire from the race.

MUNDING, GOOD DEBUT WITH CRG IN OK-JUNIOR.

CRG’s youngsters of OK-Junior displayed great speed, but could not get the most of their competitiveness in the end. The best was the German rookie Donar Nils Munding, who recovered all the way to the final P13, leading the French Evann Mallet. Gabriel Bortoleto had an excursion at the start and closed his race in P29. This was a real pity as the Brazilian had been shining in the heats and Super Heat. The Spanish driver Jose Antonio Gomez could not qualify for the Final by just one point.

THE INTERVIEWS PAOLO DE CONTO, KZ2: «We’ve been fast for all the weekend, despite some tests we had to carry out as it was interesting making them in the race context. In the Final we could have won, we had an extraordinary pace but in the end we couldn’t manage to make the crucial overtake. But we are very happy with our performance and potential».

STANDING APPLAUSE FOR SPINA IN MINI ROK.

DENNIS HAUGER, OK: «I’m happy because after only 3 races I am already among the fastest drivers in the OK and today, thank to the fantastic work made by the team and our engineer (KVS), we could have really won. Travisanutto is more experienced and in the last 2 laps he didn’t leave me any space, even if I was faster, so I preferred not to waste a whole working weekend and bring home a 2nd place for our moral and the awareness of our potential».

Alfio Spina and Team Gamoto have been shining again in Mini Rok. The Italian won a photo-finish Final by only 0.01s, exciting spectators. The very young Spina completed a great comeback at this Winter Cup, as he recovered from P18 after heats to the second place of Super Heat, a result that granted him a third row start in the Final. Spina recovered the remaining positions early in the Final and then managed to fend off the Russian Bedrin. Among the best drivers, Luca Giardelli of Team Gamoto ended 11th.

GABRIEL BORTOLETO, OK JUNIOR: «I am happy and angry at the same time: happy because we were very fast during all the weekend, disappointed as in the Final start an accident deprived me of the possibility of making a nice race and fight for my first podium in the OK Junior».

> William Alatalo, OK <

ALFIO SPINA (Team Gamoto), MINI: «This victory with the Rok engines is very important for me, for the team and also for CRG, as it comes right after the one in Adria at the WSK with the Mini engines and different tyres, so it means that driver, team and chassis are very competitive».

RACING TEAM / WSK SUPER MASTER SERIES ROUND 2

STAN PEX ON THE PODIUM

STAN PEX SCORED A PODIUM ON CRG-TM IN KZ2 AT THE SECOND ROUND OF THE WSK SUPER MASTER SERIES HELD IN CASTELLETTO. DE CONTO OUT DUE TO AN INCIDENT. GREAT RACES FOR LOMBARDO IN OK, BORTOLETO AND HENRION IN OK-JUNIOR

CRG Racing Team lived quite a challenging in Castelletto di Branduzzo (Pavia, Italy) at the second round of the WSK Super Master Series. The race has been spoiled by some unlucky events and by particularly bad weather in the first half of the weekend. An excellent result came in the end in KZ2 thanks to Stan Pex on CRG-Tm, but several positive indications arrived also in OK and OK-Junior.

STAN PEX ON THE KZ2 PODIUM IN CASTELLETTO.

The young Dutch driver Stan Pex got again on the podium

of WSK in KZ2, thanks to the third place obtained in Castelletto, after the victory taken in WSK Champions Cup at the beginning of the season. Stan put in a stunning comeback run this time around. He climbed all the way from the 28th time in qualifying to the seventh place of the starting grid of the Final, before ending in P3 right in the slipstream of Jeremy Iglesias and the winner Bas Lammers. Flavio Camponeschi run a great Final too, closing seventh at the end of a weekend in crescendo due to an unlucky qualifying. Paolo De Conto could have also ended on the

100

podium, but he had an incident in the Final when he was in P4 and closing in on the leading group. That was a real pity as De Conto had strong chances to fight for the victory. Jorrit Pex had to retire due to a technical problem after starting 12th. Some setup problems affected Simo Puhakka’s race and he had to settle for P16, behind team mate Andrea Dalè. Benjamin Tornqvist of CRG Holland was 21st, while Alessandro Giardelli managed to find his place among the finalists and closed his effort in 23rd position. An incident in Prefinal did not allow the British Taymour Kermanshahchi to qualify for the Final. Marco Valenti had a similar fate due to some issues.

BORTOLETO AND HENRION SHINING IN OK-JUNIOR. The Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto and

the French Gillian Henrion have been shining in OK-Junior, clinching respectively the sixth and seventh place in the Final. Henrion has been very quick also in the heats when he took the first position. The Dutch of CRG Keijzer Racing Kas Haverkort has also been very fast. He claimed the pole position in qualifying and then ended the Final in a good P10. The Spanish driver Ayrton Fontecha has been under the spotlight for the whole weekend, but was slowed down by some battles in the Final ending 26th. The Malaysian driver Nik Zamir Zakwan, the Spanish

RACING TEAM / WSK SUPER MASTER SERIES ROUND 3

BITTER WSK FOR CRG DRIVERS IN LA CONCA A SERIES OF UNLUCKY EPISODES AND SOME INCIDENTS PREVENTED CRG DRIVERS TO GET ON THE PODIUM IN THE THIRD ROUND OF THE WSK SUPER MASTER SERIES AT THE INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT LA CONCA ON MARCH 19TH. SPINA 1ST IN 60 MINI BUT THEN PENALIZED

A series of unlucky events stripped CRG

drivers from the podium in the third round of WSK in La Conca. In KZ, Flavio Camponeschi ended his race in eighth place leading Jorrit Pex. An incident in OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prefinal took the Norwegian polesitter Dennis Hauger > Kilian Meyer, OK <

turn had run a great Final B ending sixth. Stan Pex and Taymour Kermanshahchi retired early from the Final. Alessandro Giardelli could not find his place among the finalists due to a retirement in Prefinal A. Paolo De Conto did not take part in this race due to a snowboarding incident in the days before the round of La Conca. HAUGER MISSING OUT ON THE FINAL IN OK.

Dennis Hauger had to unexpectedly retire from Prefinal B of OK due to an incident at lap one. This did not allow him to take part in the Final, stripping the race from one of the certain protagonists of the category, as the Norwegian had set the pole position and won one heat. In the Final, Meyer, who was sixth in Prefinal B ahead of Davide Lombardo, lost some ground and had to settle for P16. Lombardo lost even more ground and > Jose Antonio Gomez, OK Junior <

off. The Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto best of OK-Junior in sixth place. Alfio Spina crossed the finish line of 60 Mini on top, but was later on issued a penalty. CAMPONESCHI EIGHT IN KZ. Flavio Camponeschi

turned out to be the best of CRG drivers in the Final of KZ on CRG-Tm. He was eighth proceeding Jorrit Pex, as the latter had been protagonist in qualifying and in Prefinal B where he clinched the third place, but could not give his best in the Final. The Dutch driver of CRG Holland Benjamin Tornqvist Persson recovered well up to the 13th place leading the Finn Simo Puhakka, who in

104

> Kas Haverkort, OK Junior <

closed his effort in P24, while Bradshaw had to retire at lap one after the eight place he secured in Prefinal A. BORTOLETO THE BEST OF CRG’S LOT IN OK-JUNIOR.

The Dutch Kas Haverkort of team CRG Keijzer has been one of the quickest drivers throughout weekend in OKJunior and confirmed his speed with the victory of Prefinal A. Unfortunately, the Dutch driver started the Final from the outside lane and was involved in an incident at the first lap. The Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto put in a great race instead, and clinched a sixth place in > Nik Zamir, OK Junior < Prefinal and confirmed it in the Final, at the end of a nice run. The Spanish driver Ayrton Fontecha was 12th, the German Marius Zug of RL-Competition was 13th, the Spaniard Jose Antonio Gomez 18th and the Malaysian Nik Zamir Zakwan 21st. The two French drivers Gillian Henrion and Evann Mallet had an unlucky weekend instead and had to retire from the Prefinal, therefore not qualifying for the Final.

ALFIO SPINA STRIPPED OF THE VICTORY IN 60 MINI. The most spectacular Final of the weekend was

unquestionably 60 Mini’s. The race was tight from lights to flag and team Gamoto’s Alfio Spina crossed the line on top, recovering all the positions from the starting P5. Spina managed to get the lead of the race in the closing stages and kept it all the way to the flag, crossing the line leading Minì and the Norwegian team mate at Gamoto Martinius Stenshorne. At the end of the race, a penalty surprisingly hit Spina and relegated him out of the podium. The motivation for this stewards’ decision is the partial detachment of the front fairing, a measure that once again has penalized spectacle on track. The victory was therefore inherited by Minì and the second place by Stenshorne. The other team Gamoto’s driver Luca Giardelli ended within the top ten in sixth place, while the South African Saood Variawa of CRG Holland was ninth. Spina was relegated to P12 leading the Russian driver of Gamoto Miron Pingasov.

RACING TEAM / WSK SUPER MASTER SERIES ROUND 4

CRG IN SARNO FOR THE WSK CLOSER THE INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT NAPOLI OF SARNO HAS STAGED THE FOURTH ROUND OF THE WSK SUPER MASTER AND PROVIDED CRG WORKS TEAM WITH SEVERAL IMPORTANT INDICATIONS, AHEAD OF THE FORTHCOMING CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP

The closing round of the WSK Super Master Series ended with several unlucky

racing episodes hitting CRG works team’s drivers at the International Circuit Napoli of Sarno, but the Italian outfit managed to collect very positive indications in terms of speed and performances in all categories. The WSK round of Sarno has been particularly important eying the CIK-FIA European Championship that will kick off from Sarno in two weeks time for categories KZ, OK and OK-Junior. CRG took this weekend as a further chance to test several technical solutions. JORRIT PEX AND DE CONTO AMONG THE QUICKEST IN KZ. The best result of CRG drivers in KZ was obtained

by Jorrit Pex, who ended the Final in fifth place, while Paolo De Conto was sixth, but showed a good pace in several

occasions and recovered from two issues in the heats, the spark plug cabling and the front fairing, that lost him some ground. The front fairing rule also handed Stan Pex a time penalty in Prefinal at the end of a good race that saw him crossing the finish line in fourth position. The Dutch driver recovered well in the Final, but was unfortunately stopped by an incident. Alessandro Giardelli also put in a good performance up to Prefinal, but could not make it through to the Final due to a penalty. The Dutch driver of CRG Holland Benjamin Tornqvist Persson ended the Final within the top ten in P9. Jorrit Pex was the most highly ranked CRG driver in the championship, as he ended sixth behind Lammers, Hajek, Abbasse, Iglesias and Ardigò. CAMPONESCHI PROTAGONIST AGAIN IN OK.

The British driver Callum Bradshaw has been the most

> Gabriel Bortoleto, OK Junior <

productive of CRG’s lot in OK, ending seventh at the end of a good comeback. Flavio Camponeschi was unfortunately forced to skip the final stages due to a trivial technical problem he experienced at the beginning of his Prefinal, but the Italian driver of CRG has been very quick in a category he had not been racing in for five years. He has been among the absolute quickest in qualifying heats. Camponeschi is now awaited at the International CIK-FIA races. A technical problem has also stopped the Norwegian Dennis Hauger in the Final, when he was putting in a strong race that would have made him climb higher up in the charts. A technical problem prevented the Spanish driver Kilian Meyer to qualify for the Final, as happened to Michael Rosina and to the Colombian Lorenzo Alborta Paredes. The Championship was won by Novalak. CRG’s Bradshaw was 17th and Hauger 18th. STRONG RACES FOR FONTECHA AND BORTOLETO IN OK-JUNIOR. The Spanish Ayrton Fontecha put in a good

performance in OK-Junior. He managed to slide in the main protagonists of the Final in a tight and exciting race, that also saw CRG’s Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto among the leading group. In the closing stages of the race, Bortoleto unfortunately

slipped down from P3, while Fontecha took a P4 that was only a tenth shy of the third place. Bortoleto closed his effort in 14th place. Among the quickest of the category, the German of CRG TB Racing Team Hugo Sasse was eighth. Luca Giardelli ended a nice race with a good P12. The French Gillian Henrion was 22nd at the end of a tough weekend instead. The German Donar-Nils Munding and Luca Griggs of team Morsicani had to retire from the Final, while the Spanish driver Jose Antonio Gomez could not go beyond Prefinal. The Championship was won by Rosso, while Bortoleto was 14th and Fontecha 18th. ANOTHER GOOD RACE FOR SPINA IN MINI.

Team CRG Gamoto has been competitive once again in 60 Mini with its very young drivers. Alfio Spina could not put in the winning sprint in the closing stages of Sarno’s Final though, but he completed a strong race nevertheless. Spina had to settle for P6, leading some other protagonists of team Gamoto: namely, the Russian Miron Pingasov and the American Nikhil Bohra. The Dutch driver of EGP Racing Team Ean Eyckmans also displayed a good shape ending the Final in 12th place. Spina closed the championship in fourth place, behind Minì, Bedrin and Antonelli.

RACING TEAM / WSK FINAL CUP ROUND 1 AND ROUND 2

ALFIO SPINA WINS THE TITLE THE YOUNG SICILIAN DRIVER OF THE GAMOTO TEAM ENDED THE SEASON IN 60 MINI AS A STAR. FOR THE CRG DRIVERS OF THE OKJ, OK AND KZ2 CLASSES THE DOUBLE RACE IN ADRIA WAS THE START OF THE WINTER WORK IN VIEW OF THE 2018 SEASON

The Final Cup organized by

WSK Promotion in Adria on November 5th and 12th was a Series of 2 rounds at the end of the season, useful to test technical solutions in a race context in view of 2018. With these goals, CRG lined up Bortoleto and Bertini Colla in OK Junior with 2 different engines: TM for the Brazilian and Iame for the second one. In OK there were also many tests and for Andrea Rosso (racing with Iame in the first round and TM in the second weekend), newcomer from the Junior, it was also a training race in the upper class. In KZ2 Giardelli, Berto, Di Mauro and Denner (racing with Kalì Kart) were the chosen drivers to develop an

important part of the technical work and, even if the results were not a priority and the rain influenced many races, Giardelli achieved an excellent 4th place. In the OK Junior, Bortoleto was unlucky once again, out of the prefinal for a technical failure while he was 2nd, whilst Bertini Colla was very fast in the qualifying practice and heats, even if he couldn’t reach a relevant result in the final, both for an accident and a technical problem. Even the Spanish Sagrera was unlucky, involved in an accident in both finals, whilst Bohra, coming from the 60 Mini, had his debut in the OK Junior with the CRG official team, making an important experience.

DKM - WACKERSDORF HE THIRD ROUND OF THE GERMAN CHAMPIONSHIP DKM HELD IN WACKERSDORF HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE SPEED OF CRG DRIVERS THAT NOW ARE LEADING KZ2, OK AND OK-JUNIOR CLASSIFICATIONS

The winning quality of CRG has been confirmed in

Wackersdorf ’s third round of the DKM Championship. The Italian outfit is now leading the charts in KZ2 with Jorrit Pex, in OK with Dennis Hauger and in OK-Junior with Hugo Sasse. HAUGER CONFIRMS HIS LEAD IN OK. Dennis Hauger has

shown an impressive growth in OK and, despite being in his maiden year in the category, he already reached the top showing the speed required to lead more experienced drivers, as also happened at the recent European Championship in Le Mans. In Wackersdorf, Hauger had the upper hand in both Finals, after taking the win of the heats. Such a dominant run launched the Norwegian driver of CRG to the lead of the provisional classification, thanks also to the results scored in Ampfing and the victory and second place taken in Kerpen. In OK, the very young Spanish driver of CRG Kilian Meyer has also put in an excellent performance in Wackersdorf. He posted the fastest lap of Race-1 claiming the ninth place, before improving to fifth in Race-2. The Dutch driver of CRG Keijzer Racing Glenn Van Berlo has also had a strong weekend and installed himself in the third place of the classification, thanks to the double podium obtained in Wackersdorf. He was in fact third in Race-1 and second behind Hauger in Race-2. CRG TB Racing Team’s Luca Maisch displayed a good shape taking the fourth place in Race-1 and the sixth in Race-2. The German Erik Munding closed his effort within the top ten on Kalì-Kart-Parilla. He was ninth in Race-2 and 13th in Race-1. DKM OK CLASSIFICATION: 1. Hauger (CRG-Parilla) points 144; 2. Schumacher 140; 3. Van Berlo (CRG-Parilla) 103; 4. Arnold 91; 5. Tonteri 79; 6. Maisch (CRG-Parilla) 67; 7. Meyer (CRG-Parilla) 61; 8. Lindh 59; 9. Kacovsky 58; 10. Munding (Kalì-Kart-Parilla) 49. JORRIT PEX BACK ON THE LEAD OF THE KZ2. In

KZ2, Jorrit Pex regained the lead of the provisional classification on CRG-Tm, thanks to the third place in Race-1 and the victory of Race-2 in Wackersdorf. Five time DKM Champion Jorrit Pex, has took the lead off the previous leader that was his brother Stan Pex, who clinched a third place in Race-1 and a DNF in Race-2

– as he could not start, in this third round of DKM. Fabian Federer, did not get what he would have deserved on CRG-Tm run by team SRP in Wackersdorf. Quickest in qualifying, winner in the heats, he had to retire from Race-1 before bouncing back to the seventh place of Race-2. Following the 16th place in Race-1, Flavio Camponeschi recovered well to P9 in Race-2. Fabrizio Rosati was also among the quickest on CRG and took the fourth place in Race-1, before retiring from Race-2 due to a contact with Camponeschi. Max Tubben ended Race-2 in tenth place after retiring from Race-1. The German of SRP Toni Tschentscher was sixth in Race-1 and eighth in Race-2. DKM KZ2 CLASSIFICATION: 1.

The German Moritz Horn (fourth in Race-2) is fifth in the classification, 24 points off the lead, on CRG-Tm run by CRG TB Racing Team instead.

HUGO SASSE IS THE NEW LEADER OF OK-JUNIOR. The good

momentum of CRG drivers in DKM continued also in OK-Junior. The German Hugo Sasse installed himself on top of the OK-Junior classification in Wackersdorf by winning Race-1 and coming fourth in Race-2 on CRG-Parilla run by CRG TB Racing Team. Sasse collected in this way more points than the previous classification leader, team mate Niels Troger (CRG-Tm), who could not score points in either final, after taking the pole position and the third place in the heats. Troger had to retire from Race-1 and was later on 19th in Race-2, which made him slip down to the third place of the provisional classification. Among the quickest, the Dutch Kas Haverkort of CRG Keijzer Racing was third in Race-1 and fifth in Race-2, results that made him gain the second place of the classification. Donar Nils Munding was third in Race-2 on Kalì-Kart, while RL-Competition’s Marius Zug was sixth in Race-1 and eighth in Race-2 on CRG-Tm.

Norwegian driver of CRG Dennis Hauger has been great protagonist on CRG-Parilla, being very quick since free practice when he posted the quickest time of his group. His team mates have also been very quick in the occasion, being even quicker than him, as in the case of the competitive Spanish driver Kilian Meyer, who secured the pole position leading the Dutch Glenn Van Berlo (CRG Keijzer) and the German Jan David Fusen (CRG Holland). Meyer has displayed a great competitiveness also in the heats, dominating them ahead of Van Berlo, Fusen and Hauger. A great result for CRG came in Race-1, with an awesome one-two-three with Hauger winning from Meyer to Tim

Troger of CRG TB Racing Team. CRG drivers’ competitiveness has been clear also in Race-2, when Hauger and Meyer have been protagonist again. In the end, Hauger wisely allowed Schumacher through thinking more to the championship than to securing another win. At the flag, Hauger was second leading this time the German Luca Maisch of CRG TB Racing Team, who managed to win the “in-family” battle with Meyer. The fifth place and closing place on the podium went to Troger, which made it four CRG karts in the top five. After this round of Wackersdorf, Hauger confirmed his classification lead extending his advantage on the nearest rival to 38 points. HAVERKORT AND SASSE BATTLING OUT OK-JUNIOR.

The Dutch driver of CRG Holland has been among the best since qualifying and heats in Lonato, ending third in Race-1 and securing the title one race early in this way. Jorrit Pex closed Race-2 in seventh place, but with the Championship victory firmly in his hands. Among the quickest in KZ2, Jorrit’s younger brother Stan Pex ended the championship in third position, while SRP Racing Team’s Fabian Federer followed him in fourth. Flavio Camponeschi could not make it to the start of

Norwegian Dennis Hauger ended his happy experience in karting on CRG-Iame on a high, before switching to car racing next year. Hauger managed to take the championship victory thanks to Race-1’s victory in Lonato, at the end of quite an eventful race. He therefore claimed another DKM title after winning last year’s OK-Junior campaign. Hauger secured the title one race early at the end of Race-1 having the best of his nearest rival David Schumacher, before taking another podium in Race-2 with P5.

Race-2 in the top ten, as they respectively ended ninth and tenth. GOOD WIN FOR HAVERKORT IN OK-JUNIOR. CRG has

secured a good one-two in OK-Junior thanks to the victory of the Dutch Kas Haverkort on CRG-Iame run by CRG Keijzer Racing and the second place taken by Hugo Sasse on CRGIame run by CRG TB Racing Team. The final classification of the Championship sees CRG and Zanardi placing 8 chassis by CRG in the top 10 of the final classification. Haverkort arrived in Lonato only one point clear of Sasse, but the fifth place in the first final allowed him to hit the big target, as Sasse could not go beyond the ninth place. The victory of Race-1 went to the French Hadrien David on Zanardi-Iame, while the Swiss Leandro Anderruti won Race-2 on MaranelloTM. Haverkort was second this time around, Sasse seventh, Donar Nils Mundin eighth on Kalì-Kart and David ninth. Haverkort has scored a victory in Kerpen and two in Wackersdorf in DKM. “Very good victory – a radiant Kas > Emilien Denner, KZ2 <

great champions. Several great drivers are in fact part of the history of the Italian outfit. They grew up in karting before a successful move to motorsport, where they climbed all the ladder up to Formula 1, often with stunning careers. The company, and Giancarlo Tinini in particular, have always invested a lot in the selection and support to the most talented drivers, offering them not only a top class technical material, but also a team of highly talented technicians that contributed consistently to the development of their skills. Drivers of the likes of Michael Schumacher and Ralf Schumacher, Alex Zanardi, Giancarlo Fisichella, Nick Heidfeld, Jan Magnussen, Jos Verstappen, Giorgio Pantano, Tonio Liuzzi, Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Robert Kubica, Sébastian Buemi, Nico Hulkenberg, Pastor Maldonado, Giedo Van der Garde, Stoffel Vandoorne and a lot of other motorsport champions have been part of CRG team at some point in their career. The most recent thoroughbred champion grown up at CRG is Max Verstappen, who has been considered a real talent since the beginning of his professional karing career as CRG works driver back in 2010. Max Verstappen is now the new shining star of Formula 1. «It has been quite easy to get Max on board, when his family decided to make him start

HIS VICTORY WITH CRG Max Verstappen’s international career started with CRG back in 2010. In his first race in KF3, at the debut in the Winter Cup of Lonato, he claimed the podium with the second place. He has been racing with CRG from 2010 to 2013, year in which he won the KZ World Championship at only 15 years of age, and two European Championships of KZ and KF, results that added to the several international titles won in WSK during the four years spent at CRG. He also set a new record for winning the KZ and KF European Championships in 2013, and was the youngest World Champion in the history of the new shifter category KZ winning the title in Varennes at 15yrs.

I REALLY APPRECIATED THIS GIFT.

competing on the international scene after his first experiences with the single make categories in Belgium and Holland – explains CRG President Giancarlo Tinini – as his father, Jos Verstappen, and mother Sophie-Marie Kumpen, had been racing with us previously. I have seen Max since his birth for 4-5 years, then I did not have the chance to meet him for some time, until when I saw him on track in Muro Leccese back in 2009. He was still too young to compete in international races, but was training on one of our karts there. You could clearly see his talent, as he was lapping on the same pace of the quickest drivers, at the same level of Nick De Vries, who was the ace of the moment. I started negotiations with Jos to find an agreement and have him in our team. In the following year, 2010, a 12 years old Max made his debut with us in Junior». What is the best memory that Giancarlo Tinini has of Max Verstappen? «I have a lot of fond memories. Every race was a surprise with him, and it has always been a satisfaction.

have been very good: he is a really open and pleasant kind of person, he has always given satisfaction in all the things he was doing. I happily recall when Max Verstappen, already a Formula 1 driver at Toro Rosso, came to visit in Genk at the European Championship in 2015 and awarded me with the racing helmet he used when he won the KZ World Championship and the KZ and KF European titles in 2013. I really appreciated a lot this gesture. Now that helmet is on display in my office». What are Max Verstappen’s strengths? «I believe he has a control of karts and Formula One cars that is beyond the average. He can master the racing machinery he is driving, even in very difficult conditions, as very few drivers in the world can. When one has such level of control, then he can push more than the others. Max brakes where the others cannot, gets gaps that

others do not dare to squeeze into. Max has been received FIA’s award for the nicest overtaking move of the F1 season for two years in a row (2015 and 2016) and has been the man of the year 2016, which means that his performance is objectively beyond average. He is a spectacular driver». Regarding spectacle on track, a lot of people have been impressed by his recent race on the wet in Brazil for his overtaking moves and his trajectories that were so different to Formula 1’s, but so common to karting’s... «Undoubtedly, this is him! I believe there is not much one can teach him. He is a natural talent, and it is normal to master the situation for him. When everybody goes left, he goes right. Everyone asks why at first, but the reason timely arrives at the next corner. This is how he naturally sees competition

«Max is a natural talent, no doubts about that. His father Jos has certainly taught him all the tricks of the trade. Jos gave Max an incredible passion. When he was a kid and all his peers played in the paddock in between races, he was in the tent next to his kart. Jos’ merit has been to made his son understand how important it is to focus on the race, avoiding external distractions». Max is now a Formula 1 driver, but you are still in touch. What conversation do you remember most happily? «After each race we exchange our opinions with Max and Jos, no matter how it went. After the race in Brazil the three of us had a long message exchange. That has been one of the best Formula 1 races I have ever seen. One of those that make you jump on your couch. Chatting and meeting Max is always nice: this year he came to the season opener of Adria. His spontaneity with the whole team and our drivers has been really great».

and nobody can equal that». You have seen talent in Max Verstappen since the beginning. Will it be possible to find someone else with the same level of talent? «I am not saying it is impossible, but he certainly raised the bar. He has been criticized, but today we can say that criticism was out of place and unfair. We have to admit he was the strongest in karting, full stop! During the four years he has been part of our team – from 2010 to 2013, he sometimes made some mistakes, but he has always been racing on the limit and never trashed his kart. Several drivers tried to do what he was doing, but they often brought back home only the tyres of their karts...». What has been his father’s role in the formation of Max?

GIANCARLO TININI TALKS ABOUT

LEWIS HAMILTON AMONG THE TALENTS MANAGED BY CRG IN KARTING, A RELEVANT PLACE IS OCCUPIED BY THE MERCEDES F1 CHAMPION, WHO CLIMBED ALL THE MOTORSPORT LADDER FROM KARTING TO MOTOR RACING FROM THE 90S TO 2001, WITH THE SUPPORT OF RON DENNIS

English, coloured and exceptionally gifted. This is the

identikit of a very young Lewis Hamilton when, at the beginning of the 90s, he arrived in CRG to compete in International karting, after being in evidence in the youth classes in the Uk. Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to CRG highlighted his speed and competitiveness and allowed him to win the 2000 World Cup and the European Formula A Championship. What was striking about Lewis Hamilton was his sheer determination, focus and belief that karting

was like a school, and as all schools it was a training period of his life. His future was already written and he knew that. At 14 years of age he had one objective clear in his mind: becoming a Formula 1 driver. All kids competing on karts share that dream, but he had the advantage of knowing he would have made it a dream come true. «When Lewis Hamilton got on the International karting scene – Giancarlo Tinini recalled – he was racing in England with Top Kart. One day Domingos Piedade of AMG, that had a partnership with us to create a karting junior team, called me and asked if it was possible to field another young driver alongside Nico Rosberg: that was Lewis Hamilton. From that moment on, the famous team MBM was created at CRG – standing for Mercedes Benz McLaren, which gave us a lot of satisfaction».

What kind of karting driver was Lewis Hamilton? «Lewis was unquestionably a very talented driver, and that was adamant since his first races. He had skills above the average. With us he won the European Formula A Championship and the World Cup in 2000, having the upper hand on very strong rivals as his team mate Nico Rosberg, and “though” clients of the likes of Colin Brown and Robert Kubica. Lewis started season 2001 with us, but – under Ron Dennis’ wing – he then received a call from motorsport, and we know where he climbed since. Lewis was a very mature kid, he had it all figured out in his mind, knowing very well where he wanted to get to. His main drive was the desire to win, he had a competitive spirit in all what he was doing, no matter if he was running, on the onewheel bike or playing football. He always wanted to win, that was his nature».

STORIES / CRG CHAMPIONS as is normal for kids of their age. It was good to see such a pairing, but when they put the helmet on, things changed: both wanted to emerge... as later on happened in Formula 1, things were no different compared to back then. Their story started with karting and ended in Formula 1, but never changed».

HIS CAREER Lewis Hamilton’s career started on karts. He won the Cadet British Championship at 10 years of age. He got in Ron Dennis’ good books since the beginning and became part of McLaren’s Young Driver Development Program. Following further victories in the British Cadet, he continued his karting career with the British team Zip Kart on Top Kart-Comer.

WOLFGANG WILHELM FOR DAIMLER AG

How is Giancarlo Tinini’s relationship with Lewis Hamilton? «Our relationship has always been very good, as that with his dad Anthony and the whole family. We had mutual respect without any hidden agenda. I recall when he came to Lonato with his younger brother Nicolas and Nico. We had a great time together. In that test in Lonato everybody was stricken by the love and care Lewis showed for his brother. That is another aspect of Lewis that not very many know».

Hamilton has been more successful than Rosberg though... «Their racing style was different. Lewis was more resolute, and I believe this is why he has been more successful. Nico was always close, he never gave up. Just to exemplify Lewis’ motivation, he managed to win the European Championship despite running basically with a plastered arm due to a domestic incident and was crying for the pain. His determination was impressive, you knew that when he put the helmet on, he got off to take the win, without compromise. If you look back at his World Cup race in Motegi (Japan) you can see all his grit and wish to win. In Formula 1, Lewis has put the same grit and determination of the karting days on track. Some others were flat on karts and they stayed the same in Formula 1».

GIANCARLO TININI TALKS ABOUT

HÜLKENBERG

CURRENT RENAULT FORMULA 1 DRIVER “THE HULK”’S KARTING DAYS ARE REMEMBERED BY CRG’S PRESIDENT, WHO RECALLS HIS GENTLE NATURE AND SHYNESS (OUTSIDE OF RACING TRACKS) BUT ALSO, AND MOST OF ALL, HIS GRIT WHILE OVERTAKING RIVALS AND HIS STRONG DEDICATION TO WORK

«Great guy, great family». This is the first

comment made by Giancarlo Tinini when asked to draw a picture of Nico Hülkenberg during his successful karting days with CRG, that proceeded his current Formula 1 driver role at Renault. «Nico Hülkenberg started in karting as CRG Holland works driver. Giancarlo Tinini continued, We obviously supported him directly because we noticed an uncommon talent in this very young boy. He was very motivated on track and paid a lot of attention to the indications of the technicians and his dedication to working with the team (both during racing

weekends and testing) made him grow very fast. He was the ideal driver: quick, talented, but also keen to learn and to improve. He was really quick and his karting experience ast only a few years before he climbed up to motorsport. He was one of the strongest drivers in early 2000s and certainly one of the most aggressive and motivated on track». How did Hülkenberg’s experience with CRG start? «He competed in Junior and Formula A with CRG. He left great memories behind. He was a little “sprite”: shy face and small glasses, but on track he changed completely his attitude and was really quick. He had a very clean driving style, but was also very resolute and aggressive: whenever he had a small overtaking chance he went for it without any hesitation. Determination is important for a driver and I very rarely had to take him to task for shying away from an overtaking move. Strong drivers that make the difference have overtaking and resolution among their skills, and Nico was this sort of driver». A lot of positive skills, but did he have some flaws? «He was maybe too gentle. Kindness is definitely a positive quality in a human being, but it is a flaw in a driver».

karting driver back in early 2000s and current drivers? «The attitude towards competitions did not change much since early 2000s. He run a very intense racing programme and CRG Holland gave him the chance to take part in an high level international programme since the beginning with all the CIK-FIA races, the German Championship and the Italian Open Masters. The most ambitious current karting drivers have a similarly intense racing calendar, which allows them to build a lot of experience. Nico grew up quickly and his karting career has been a successful crescendo in the space of a few years only».

On a scale of CRG drivers, what mark would you give Hülkenberg? «On a 1 to 10 scale, I would certainly give him a solid 9, due to his quality as a driver but also as a person. He has been very professional despite his very young age, being focused on racing and on his kart. I remember that once, a very young Nico Hülkenberg came to me because he could not match the performance of his team mate. He was devastated, but resolute to understand where he could improve. We went through some technical solutions together and some team work made him improve a lot, placing him again among the quickest. At the end of the race he told me he was very

What do you think of Hülkenberg’s experience in Formula 1? «We all know that in Formula 1 one needs the luck of being in the right team on the right car. Nevertheless, Hülkenberg has always scored points, shining also in the initial part of his Formula 1 career».

When did you last meet Hülkenberg? «Not long ago in Lonato. Nico went to me and said hello. He is a man now. He does not wear glasses, but to me it was like meeting the same kid. He is one of those persons that believe in their values, and that do not forget even that little bit you gave them. When he has time he goes back to race on karts with CRG Holland – he is still fond of our colors. I have more frequent contacts with his family: his dad is one of the best parents I have ever met and he had a very positive influence on Nico’s career. He always trusted the team and constantly supported his son».
