With Piquet Sportâs and CRG Brasilâs technical support, Olin Galli and Augustus Tognolo were among the best of the event
The 2nd and last race of the SKUSA Winter Series just ended at the Homestead-Miami Motorplex circuit, the Karting event that officially opens the season in the US. As is tradition, the CRG colors confirmed to be very competitive in this market and especially in the last race weekend, from February 7th to 9th, when the very young Augustus Tognolo and Olin Galli conquered the podium. Already since the first final on Saturday, Tognolo showed he could point to the victory in the Micro category, achieving the 4th place after closing the pre-final in 2nd place. On Sundayâs final, the podium finally arrived with an excellent 2nd place at only 49 thousandths from the winner Wheldon.
The experienced Olin Galli, instead, followed by the Piquet Sportâs technicians in the X3O Senior category, concentrated on the development work of the new CRG chassis for the 2020 âdirect driveâ classes, conquering a clear victory on Saturdayâs main race and a 4th place on Sundayâs race. The Piquet Sport team is carrying out an excellent work in close collaboration with CRG Brasil and theyâll be back shortly on track for the SKUSA Pro Tour scheduled on March 13th-15th on the Nola Motorsports Park in New Orleans.
