After the announcement of the multi-year partnership between Kalì Kart and the new title sponsor Lenovo, the management of the historic CRG brand is working to define the 2026 drivers’ line-up of the team, which will be dedicated to the under-16 junior categories: Mini, OKNJ, OKJ, and OK. The racing program will include participation in all FIA Karting events (European Championship and World Championship for OK and OKJ classes), as well as a structure that will be active in Italy for the Mini U10 / Gr3 and OKN Junior categories.

The Lenovo Kalì Kart team will be a true Academy: the selected drivers will have access to competitive technical equipment and a professional staff, in line with the standards of a Factory team. The program shared by Lenovo and Kalì Kart will also include strong coaching support, both for athletic preparation and for communication and personal management training. Lenovo, Global Partner of F1, aims to build a concrete bridge between karting and motorsport, supporting the selected drivers from an educational perspective even before the financial one.

To be fully prepared for the 2026 season, the management of Kalì Kart and CRG has reset the collaborations with the drivers involved in the first part of 2025, in order to build a team aligned with the new project’s objectives. At the beginning of September, the partnerships with the Zvarich brothers were terminated, following the earlier conclusion of collaborations with Joel Taipale and David Moscardi before the summer break.

In the coming weeks, several announcements about the new drivers are expected, and the final races of the season, such as the WSK Final Cup, will be used to finalize the 2026 line-up. The team will likely consist of 2 OKJ drivers and 2 OK drivers for international competitions, plus 4 MINI drivers and 2 OKN Junior drivers for national races. The official presentation of the Lenovo Kalì Kart team is scheduled for January 2026, following the experiences and results of this final part of the season.
