SEASON OPENER IN CAMPILLOS WITH THE ROTAX

CRG will get to Campillos with the Spaniard Eliseo Martinez in the Junior Max (the driver will be at his debut in the higher category after dominating the last year's edition of WSK Euro and Master Series in category Mini) and the as much competitive young Spanish driver Mauricio Van der Laan. CRG will also be taking on track the Spaniard Matthias Hobart and the American Jack Weprin in the Senior Max, while the German driver Luka Kamali will defend the teams' colors in DD2.

Some more interesting drivers will join forces with CRG starting from the Rotax Euro Challenge round of Genk, such as the American Daniel Formal who will be lined up in DD2. After a very good experience with PSL Karting he will officially be part of the CRG team in KZ2 also for the WSK and CIK-FIA rounds.

GIANCARLO TININI'S COMMENT

CRG's President Giancarlo Tinini commented in this way the forthcoming season:

“It is not going to be easy to repeat the great success of 2013, but we will try and do our best as always. This year we will also be competing in Rotax – a series that is very important to us and in which we count on doing good things – among the other International commitments, where we aim at getting the maximum result. We have 2/3 drivers on average on every category and several youngsters to raise. Predictions are not easy ,especially due to the new tires employed in the International categories. We will be using Maxter engines developed by Savard in KZ and TM units for KF and KF Junior categories, developed by GFR and Galiffa. As regarding chassis, we will start the season with our cutting edge Road Rebel in KZ, while we will use the Black Star in KF and KT1 in KF Junior, but they will certainly be developed throughout the season.”
