'''CRG''' is a [[kart]] chassis manufacturer. Notable members include [[Alex Zanardi]], [[Vitantonio Liuzzi]], [[Lewis Hamilton]], and [[Max Verstappen]].
CRG was founded by three Italian racers ('''C'''arlo Vanaria, '''R'''oberto Vanaria and '''G'''iancarlo Tinini), and was originally known as '''Kalì Kart'''.<ref name="Max">{{cite web |last1=Bernardi |first1=Max |title=CRG: HISTORY AND FUTURE OF KARTING |url=https://tkart.it/en/magazine/special/visit-crg-kart-manufacturer#1 |website=TKART |access-date=27 November 2024 |date=20 December 2019}}</ref> In the beginning, the company was viewed as unfavorable, with Zanardi being told by his original team, [[DAP (racing team)|DAP]], that if he didn't stop complaining they would "send him to Kalì". By the mid 1980s, Kalì had recovered from its inauspicious beginnings and was winning [[Karting World Championship|world championships]] with drivers including [[Mike Wilson (driver)|Mike Wilson]].
Kalì changed its name to CRG in the 1986.<ref name="Max"/> They soon competed in more world championships with drivers including [[Danilo Rossi]] and [[Alessandro Manetti (racing driver)|Alessandro Manetti]]. CRG also goes under the name of '''Tinini Group''', which was created in 2017, which is now visible on all sticker kits. CRG has also relations with [[Dino Chiesa]] (Chiesa Corse); the notable Italian chassis mechanic assisted multiple world champions as well as many other drivers through CRG.
CRG began building engines in the mid-1990s, but they were never widely used outside of the factory teams. In 2001, they were replaced by the Maxter brand which produces 100 cc and 125 cc gearbox engines. They also have been involved in the [[Maxter]] engine range. They were also the main supplier for brands including [[Maranello karts|Maranello]], [[Vanspeed]], [[Alex Zanardi|Zanardi]], Dino, and DR Kart. In recent years, the team has partnered with [[TM engines|TM racing]].
In the past 30 years, CRG has been one of the most successful brands and has been chosen by several current motorsport champions. For this reason, CRG Racing team is considered the “Champions Factory”.{{CN|date=November 2024}} Drivers such as [[Michael Schumacher]] (for Kali),<ref>{{cite web |title=FIA Karting - Person - Michael Schumacher |url=https://www.fiakarting.com/person/michael-schumacher |website=[[Commission Internationale de Karting|FIA Karting]] |access-date=27 November 2024}}</ref> [[Max Verstappen]],<ref>{{cite news |last1=Simmons |first1=Marcus |title=THE MAX FACTOR. |url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=f6h&AN=103581830&lang=en-gb&site=eds-live&scope=site |work= F1 Racing|issue=229 |date=March 2015}}</ref> [[Alex Zanardi]], [[Ralf Schumacher]], [[Giancarlo Fisichella]], and others have competed for the brand.
