In this occasion, Jorrit Pex has received his prize alongside team mate Paolo De Conto, as the Italian ended second at the end of a legendary race held in Le Mans, that will always be an high in karting history due to the spectacular duel in the closing stages.
The two dominators of the race of Le Mans, Jorrit Pex and Paolo De Conto, were joined on the sage of the Paris Marriott Hotel by the third classified, Arnaud Kozlinski, who will be back among the ranks of CRG from 2016, as he will take on a new technical role in the racing team of the successful Italian squad.

Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG-Maxter) put in very good performances, even though he was eventually penalized in the melee of the final, while Stan Pex (CRG-Tm) secured the fifth place and Fabian Federer (CRG-Maxter) the eighth.
Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG-Parilla) was seventh in the KF World Championship and in the European KF Championship. Felice Tiene (CRG-Parilla) claimed a strong fourth place in the European KF Championship.
