He’s imperative: “We’ll make Brazilian karting great”. Giovanni Guerra, CBA & CIK-FIA delegate, has no doubt. The reality is that they’re really working hard to make this happen. The participation of 6 Brazilian drivers to CIK-FIA European championships is a proof of that. 



In Brazil he is a true idol, but in Genk he seemed to be a driver like others. He joined the competition quietly. We met Gaetano Di Mauro, Brazilian Touring Car driver with a huge passion for karting "I will race the whole European KZ2 championship alongside the Brazilian Touring Championship. The two calendars allor me to race both championships and I’ll also do some tests with CRG.

In car racing we have really crowded racetracks with TVs and an heavier media coverage. This affects the marketing side in terms of budget and sponsors.”
