The KR1 2022 Model is the evolution of the homonymous Kart Republic chassis of 2018 made entirely with 32 mm diameter tubes, expressly designed for the shifter classes. Since its inception, the KR1 has achieved important results (above all, a third and a second place at the FIA Karting World Championship KZ, respectively in 2021 and in 2018, in addition to the victory in the FIA Karting European Championship, also in KZ, in 2022 and in 2019) and confirmed the great technical and managerial qualities of the founder of the Venetian brand: Dino Chiesa. One of the leading personalities in the world of karting, who over the years has been the team manager and mentor of drivers who have entered the Olympus of motorsport. A few names? Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Giorgio Pantano, Lance Stroll, Nyck De Vries and Alex Zanardi ... In short, when Dino Chiesa is involved, expectations are always high.
Like its predecessor, the KR1 M.Y. 2022 (to find out more about the previous model, read "Under examination - KR1, the new chassis by Dino Chiesa for the KZ classes"), is the result of the partnership between the know-how gained on the track by the founder of KR and the production of Breda Racing, a company (external to KR) which has been producing components and equipment for racing cars for over thirty years and which, for the KR chassis, is responsible for production, checks and approvals. Although the name of the chassis remains unchanged compared to the old model, together with the approval number, at the base of this new chassis there is the precise objective of optimising some of the areas that could be improved on its predecessor, combining an aesthetic-chromatic renewal in the name of evolution and continuity. All this always bearing in mind the fixed points of Dino Chiesa's philosophy: lightness, performance and ease of setting up the chassis.
