This is Giancarlo Tininis
comment, chairman of
C.R.G. S.p.a.:It was a great
celebration for CRG. All our
friends and major dealers of
our brand took part in it,
coming from all over the
world.
Its been two years since our
last ceremony before
Christmas, since we
suspended it because of my
fathers death. He was a
great supporter of this
annual appointment and he
was always sopleased to
represent our brand. Without
him I felt it was pointless to
keep on organizing the event.
But the achievements of this year the opening of the factory and the wins in the championships -pushed
me to resume the tradition.
I was pleased to realize how happy our guests were and it is always great to see such an enthusiasm
surrounding our brand. The opening of our new factory is a crucial moment in our business enterprise. The
new structure is essential to increase the production and to simplify the goods handling, with the possibility
of adding new equipment. Our aim was to work better.
Everything seems so big, but in the end you always need more room. Anyway, we definitely took a big step
forward. Now our commitment is to step up the production. We are quite satisfied for the achievements of
the year at the moment.
Our production is at the same level of last year production: good news considering the general conditions
of the worlds economy. We got excellent selling results in France, followed by Canada and Germany. We
recorded a light increase in Japan but aworrying downward trend in America that we will try to recover. In
2010 we think we can increase our sales, even though it wont be easy.
Regarding the racing we are about to complete our official team: our goal is to get as many trophies as
possible, according to our tradition. Jonathan Thonon will take part in KZ1 and KZ2 competitions together
with Gary Carlton, while Koko, Davide For and Eddy Tinini will compete in Super KF. In this class we will
have FeliceTienes comeback, the winner of this year KF2 Asia-Pacific Championship. Giovanni Martinez
will compete in KF2, Luca Tilloca in KZ2. In KF3 we will have thed b u t of the promising young kating driverMax Verstappen, son of the F1 champion Jos Verstappen.
Soon we will have the names of the drivers of our new junior team, besides probable new drivers in KF2
and KF3.
Jonathan Thonon: I want to thank Giancarlo Tinini for his confidence. I have been racing for CRG for nine
years, with the VDK Team first and then with CRG Official Team. This is something Im so proud of because
its a continuity that is hard to get in the world of sports; it is based on a great and mutual respect, and this
is fundamental for me. It makes me very self-confident.
My season will be focused on KZ1 in the WSK World series and in KZ2 in the WSK Euro Series. The only
exception will be the Winter Cup, where I will compete in Super KF. For 2010 we have lots of novelties,
starting from the engine, and Im sure well have a top level season.

Arnaud Kozlinski:It is the
first time I take part in a CRG
celebration and I had thefeeling to be a member of a
big family. A beautiful
feeling.
Concerning my racing
activity, in these last weeks I
have been following the
development of the new
engine, and I must say that
we are at a satisfactory
stage.
We are all happy with theequipment, for the power
and the reliability at top
levels. My season will be
focused on Super KF in the
WSK, both in the World
Series and in the Euro Series, besides the opening race in the Winter Cup.
Davide For:Im expecting much from 2010. I have tested the new Maxter KF engine and I noticed it has
been greatly enhanced. It offers excellent reliability, it is much smaller than the previous one and this is the
reason why the chassis offers a better efficiency. Its given me positive emotions, thats why Im so
confident.
