The Kalì Kart Racing Team is pleased to welcome Sam Woolley who will join the team for the OK Junior category. The English driver was born in Urmstom, Manchester in September 2010 and began racing go-karts at the age of 8 in the Mini categories, achieving many notable results at national level. His first international experiences were made in the X30 Junior category in which, at the beginning of this season, he won the Hivern Cup Spain and obtained P2 in the Winter Cup of Valencia.

For Sam, the move to the official Kalì Kart team means taking a new step in his career by debuting in FIA races. The first event in which he will take part will be the European Championship in Slovakia next June and after that he will be among the protagonists of the OK Junior World Championship which will take place on his home track, the PFI in England.

Sam has already taken part in a testing day with the Kalì Kart team and in order to begin his journey of understanding the technical staff, the working methodologies and the new material, he will take part in the WSK Open race in the OK- N Junior category scheduled on the Franciacorta track the first week of April.

This is how the young English driver commented on the move to the Kalì Kart team:

“The opportunity that has arisen to join the Kalì Kart Factory Team will allow me to enter a second phase of my experience in karting, taking part in the international OK Junior races within a highly experienced team with great technical means. The first important event for me will be the European Championship race in Slovakia, but obviously I will carry out a specific preparation program for the race in England, where the World Championship will take place in September. The first feedback I had from the team was very positive, as was the performance, although now my main objective will be to learn as OK Junior is a substantially new category for me”.

The 1^st of the four rounds of the 2024 FIA European Championship for the OK and OK Junior categories ended on the Valencia circuit in Spain. The official Kalì Kart team took part in this important international meeting with two drivers in the OK category: Stefano Pedani and Peter Stiller.

The experience was very positive, despite the delay with which the tires for the direct drive categories were established (contract transferred to Maxxis instead of 2023 MG tires ), objectively created many problems in the preparation phases of this event. There were some ups and downs during the weekend and, above all, Peter Stiller suffered some problems in finding the right feeling with the setup, failing to qualify for the Final. Stefano Pedani’s weekend, however, was on the rise, first doing well in qualifying for the Final, despite two penalties for the spoiler costing him over 20 positions on the starting grid, and subsequently among the fastest in the Final, where he recovered 20 positions, finishing in P16. Sporting results aside, the positive feedback was above all of a technical nature, thanks to the great work done by the team which created the foundations for the upcoming international events.

This is how Stefano Pedani commented on his weekend: “I am very happy with the result, we were fast right from Free Practice and in the Final the chassis setup and the TM engine were perfect. We are doing a good team work and constantly improving; therefore, we can look to the future with ever greater ambitions.”

 The next appointment with the FIA ​​European Championship is scheduled for April in France.

There will be two official Kalì Kart drivers taking part in the FIA European Championship in Valencia this weekend: Stefano Pedani and Peter Stiller. Both will be competing in the OK top class with the aim of scoring their first points of the season.

The FIA European Championship will be divided into 4 events and therefore each result will be important in terms of the general ranking. After Spain, the Championship will stop in France, followed by Slovakia and, finally, in August in Sweden. After the Champions of the Future race, in which the major teams prepared this first test of the season, a lot of work was done at the Kalì Kart Factory to bring some technical evolutions capable of guaranteeing a better feeling for the drivers. In particular, we have worked on the new Maxxis tires which the drivers and technical staff discovered only a few days before the Champions of the Future race. From this point of view, the first free practices on Thursday will be very important, while from Friday the track will offer the first official feedback with qualifying practice and the start of the eliminatory races. The Super Heat and the Finals are scheduled for Sunday.

This week the Tinini Group has launched the new Kalì Kart website. This is a further piece of the promotion plan of the historic Kalì Kart brand, which implements the communication area, providing users with an online platform complete with all useful information regarding the range of chassis, the activity of the Kalì Kart Racing Team and contacts relating to the sales and assistance network.

The website has a simple but refined layout and also from a content point of view it has an essential and very functional format. The three main sections will allow users to have all the information on the company and the history of Kalì Kart, the brand on which CRG itself was founded and which boasts 10 world titles under its belt. The second section and heart of the site concerns the range of produced chassis, with all the technical data sheets, images and the possibility of downloading all the homologation fiches. The third main section of the homepage is dedicated to the Racing Team, so that all Karting enthusiasts can have a direct line with the racing division and constant feedback on the evolution of Racing chassis. The website is completed by the news section, constantly updated, as well as the part dedicated to sportswear and the product catalogue.

It is worth saying that the Kalì Kart communication platform is already active with its own pages on Facebook and Instagram, both with the official Kalì Kart account. Plese find here the link to visit the official Kalì Kart website: www.kalikart.com

It was a weekend with many ups and downs for the Kalì Kart colors at the WSK Super Master Series in Franciacorta.

Certainly not the result we wanted, especially in the MINI category, where we only lost the opportunity at the last corner of the Final to get back to the lead of the championship with Cristian Blandino. It was also a shame that Pedro Campus retired in the Prefinal after he had done very well in Qualifying with an excellent P4 overall.

But above all, the weekend of Simone Bianco and Aleksandar Bogunovic was difficult in KZ: all the big names from that category were there and for both Kalì Kart drivers at their first experiences it was not possible to enter the 36 finalists, despite some excellent indications regarding their potential.

Very simular situation for Oskar Poberaj in OK Junior: in his second race in this category, several times he had the speed of the best but he also made some normal mistakes due to his lack of experience.

Finally, both Peter Stiller and Stefano Pedani did an excellent job in OK running good Heats and completing a very intense work program with both the chassis and the engines. Unfortunately Stiller had a technical problem in the Prefinal and his retirement excluded him from the finalists, while Pedani finished the Final P23.

The Kalì Kart project is young, but the team is working very hard in preview of the next International events and in the coming weeks some new additions of technicians are expected to make the racing team of this glorious brand increasingly ambitious.
