THE SURVEY CARRIED OUT BY THE INFLUENTIAL GERMAN MAGAZINE MOTORSPORT XL APPOINTS CRG THE BEST KART OF THE YEAR
THE CHOICE OF THE MOTORSPORT XL 2008 READERS: THE BEST KART OF THE YEAR
Karting can be very simple. The first one crossing the finishing line is the winner (usually) and if you are not the winner, the competitor had the best kart...These are the facts that everyone can read every Sunday on the various classifications and in any case the current about forty manufacturers and more than fifty brands that report these facts are not enough for us, we wanted to have more detailed information. A survey should be able to throw light on this subject and this time it doesn't matter only the timer and the set-up, but all the personal opinions about every detail. Our readers found the survey very interesting and the feedback was very positive. Today we publish some quite surprising results.

WHICH ARE THE ELEMENTS THAT INFLUENCE YOUR PURCHASING CHOICE?
Quality / Innovation                     35%
Success                                     34%
Price / Performance                    23%
Sales network                            6%
Design                                         2%
Internet / Advertising                  1%
 
335 readers took part in the survey. The most part of them with the 55% of share has a licence for a two strokes engine, the 22% are club drivers, the 17% are hobby drivers and the 6% are four strokes engine drivers.
On an average they answered to know 15 karts. We were surprised to know that the club and hobby drivers know about 16 to 18 karts. The two strokes engine drivers "would like" to know only 14 brands while the four strokes engine drivers have some problems due to the fact that they come from one-brand scenarios so they know about 10 karts. According to the survey the most important purchasing criteria are the quality and the race results, the third place goes to the quality - price ratio, then we can find sales network, design and communication / internet.
The main difference between these two groups of clients is that the drivers owing a licence give most importance to the race results while according to the club drivers the most important elements are the quality - price ratio and the sales network.
The readers chose 55 brands and we have identified the top 15... 
CONCLUSION:
To have a global evaluation was not easy but we wanted to be able to award this Oscar, so our winner is CRG with 109 points, then we can find Birel (94 points) and Tony Kart (84 points). As we are sure you can understand this is not a commercial promotion because everyone has his own needs about Karting and you need to choose according to your requests and to define what is most important for you...
HRS Motorsport is proud to be part of the C.R.G. family.
