KARTING
CRG, nowadays company leader for the manufacturing and marketing of chassis and spare parts for karts was founded in 1986 and soon began winning International Championship trophies.
The commitment of CRG is centered not only on the technological evolution of karts and their components, but also on international competitions. The company is able to boast a huge number of victories in the World and European Championships and many continental titles.
We can consider CRG the real factory of champions: this is in evidence from the great number of drivers who passed from the karting to the Formula 1. Michael Schumacher, Ralf Schumacher, Raikkonen, Fisichella, Heidfeld, Liuzzi, Nico Rosberg, Kubica and Lewis Hamilton have all raced on a CRG chassis.
Al Ghassan Motors are proud to represent this brand and bring this class leading technology and quality to Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf region. Motorsport is one of the fastest growing sporting activites in the Middle East and where better to get started than in karting…..a sport that has delivered so much driving talent over the years.
Tracks are being opened continuously and clubs are being formed for enthusiasts to join and we are able to provide the very best available in the market to get you started.
Rotax has designed a unique engine concept (MAX) for race karts, which is offered in different performance configurations.
The MAX engine is a liquid cooled 125 cc,[two-stroke] engine with a balance shaft, integrated water pump, electric starter and centrifugal clutch. The combination of onboard electric starter and the centrifugal clutch simplifies the operation of the engine therefore this concept is called TaG (Touch and Go).
With the much lower rpm level of the MAX engines they can run on just 2% oil and also the durability compared to other race kart engines is much higher.
The 125 Junior MAX engine (20.4 hp, recommended for juniors from 13– 16 years), the 125 Junior MAX engine can be simply downgraded to the 125 Mini MAX engine configuration by means of an intake and exhaust restrictor (13.6 hp, recommended for kids from 10 – 13 years). It can also be downgraded to the 125 Micro MAX engine configurations by means of a different exhaust and radiator (6.8 hp, recommended for kids from 8 – 10 years). A 125 Junior MAX engine can be also upgraded by means of a cylinder with exhaust valve to a 125 MAX engine configuration (28.5hp, recommended as of 16 years). The top line of the MAX engine family is the 125 MAX DD2 (24 kW, recommended as of 16 years, has a two speed gearbox and a chainless drive system).
With the MAX engine concept BRP-Rotax has revolutionized the racing kart market and more than 50.000 customers are the best confirmation of this success story.
