CRG

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The company CRG , based in Lonato del Garda, is an Italian manufacturer of racing and rental karts and karting accessories.

history

CRG SpA was founded in 1986 by three former Italian racing drivers from the company KALI-Kart , which had existed since the 1970s . The name CRG is made up of the first names of the founders C arlo Vanaria, R oberto Vanaria and G iancarlo Tinini.

Kart chassis were initially only produced and sold in small numbers under the name KALI-Kart. With the first victory in the 125 cc class of the Italian kart championship in 1979 and further international successes, the level of awareness and the sales network increased. Initially with the main focus on the European and US market, the sales department was steadily expanded. As of 2014, CRG products are being marketed worldwide.

Since the mid-1990s, CRG has been developing its own kart engines, which are sold as an independent brand via the subcontractor Maxter Srl. In 2003 the company was restructured and CRG SpA was merged with Maxter Srl to form the Tinini Group. The headquarters of both companies have been in Lonato since 2009.

In Germany, CRG karts and accessories are sold through the importers CRG Deutschland Rutsch and Herpich GbR and Prespo GmbH & Co. KG.

CRG also produces karts for other brands such as GP Racing Kart, DR Racing Kart, Zanardi Racing Kart.

successes

CRG maintains its own racing team that competes in international championships and cup events. The team has been able to record victories and podium finishes in various competitions since 2006.

Many well-known racing drivers such as the former Formula 1 world champions Michael Schumacher , Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen drove kart races in CRG karts at the beginning of their motorsport careers .
