Here the comments and the expectations of some among the major CRG protagonists of the 2010 season.
Jonathan Thonon: “I am very happy for the two titles I got in KZ2 in the WSK World Series and WSK Euro Series. It was a beautiful season and I want to say thank you to all those who gave their contribution for my success, first of all Giancarlo Tinini. Next year I will follow the International CRG schedule in KZ1, where my only target will be the win.”
Max Verstappen: “We weren’t expecting such a good result at the beginning. Then, after the success in the first race of La Conca in the WSK Euro Series, we understood we were strong and we could try to get the title. And we made it! I won the KF3 championship both in the WSK Euro Series and in the WSK World Series. Then I got my kicks out of the CIK-FIA races. I placed second in the KF3 world cup and fifth in the European Championship, but on these two occasions too I had been battling for the win. I’ve just turned thirteen and next year I will be racing in KF3 again, and I’ll try to do even better.”
Davide Forè: “I’ve just come back from Brazil where I took part in a 500 Miles. I got the fastest lap and I placed sixth with my team. For me the season ended well in the WSK World Series with the second place in Egypt in Super KF, behind my teammate Kozlinski. Next year I should run in KZ, and I do think that CRG will be the team to beat once more.”
Arnaud Kozlinski: “This year I had a good start in the Winter Cup, then we remained a bit behind in Super KF and it was hard to make up the lost ground. In the WSK World Series I got a penalty in Portugal and I had a crash in the American race, otherwise I would have been fighting for the title given my win in Egypt. For next year, as well as all the professional drivers, I will race in KZ, where I will use an engine set up by Maxter directly.”
Felice Tiene: “This year my come back to CRG was absolutely positive, both for the new category I run in- the Super KF – , and for the results I got. In the whole I consider myself very satisfied, even though on some occasions I might have given another impression. For me all the races I took part in were positive and interesting experiences. Run against great champions helped me to understand my mistakes. Next year I will run in KF1 in the WSK and in the CIK-FIA World Championship.”
Eddy Tinini: “For me it was a bit hard, but I’m already thinking about next year, when I will be probably run in KZ. I’m training a lot in this period, but KZ is a totally different category from KF. Apart from the gear shift, the differences are substantial: from the braking to the trajectories. Probably I will be able to come in handy for Felice Tiene in KF1, and that’s why we are still thinking about my definitive next year’s engagement.”
Norman Nato: “This year, because of my commitment in car racing – where anyway I was the runner up in the Formula 4 Eurocup European Championship – I took part in only two races in karting, getting the second place in KZ2 in the WSK Euro Series of Lonato and a beautiful win in the Monaco Cup. Moreover I managed – together with Koko – the T3M Team, that made Hugo Hakkinen run in the Mini, Sebastien Segond and Pierre-Louis Loubet in KF3. For next year I haven’t decided what to do yet, but I’d like to run with karts again.”
