CRG Naming International Lineup + LH Kart News
CRG has produced an LH (Lewis Hamilton) version of their kart for the last couple of years. It's been a pretty low-key affair, but at the WSK series presentations in Italy recently, CRG boss Giancarlo Tinini revealed that the LH Kart will be launched as its own standalone brand in 2011. Alessio Profeta will drive for the LH team in KF2.
The official CRG-Maxter lineup is expected to be announced at the upcoming Kart and Race expo, but Tinini confirmed several drivers at the WSK affair.

"We are still waiting for some confirmations to complete the KF3 and KF2 lineup, but for the time being, I can say that in KZ1 we will take part in the international season with Jonathan Thonon, Arnaud Kozlinski and Davide Forè, and in KZ2 with Mirko Torsellini, who had already run for the first time with our official team in Egypt in the last race of the World Series" he said.
"Our representative in KF1 will be Felice Tiene, but we have two recently acquired drivers who will race for us in 2011: the Englishman Jordon Lennox-Lamb and the quick Laura Tillet. Also in KF1 we will have Andrea Dalè, ready to come back and race for our team.
"In KF3, of course, we will have our champion Max Verstappen and another young Dutch, Max Koebolt, who in 2010 ran in the Academy CIK-FIA Trophy.
"In KF2, besides the confirmation of Giovanni Martinez and Mario Ziletti, we will have “Speedy” Antonio Fuoco, who will pass in this category after achieving good results in KF3. In KF2 there will also be Alessio Profeta, even though with the LH “Lewis Hamilton” line, which will be launched as a brand in 2011”.
