determination of the founding partners that had established in the

CRG Romania message
For a better understanding of the message that CRG
Romania wishes to transmit, we will try to provide some
definitions , national and international organizational details of
the 4-wheel sports , especially those referring to karting:
Let's start with the definition of kart from The International
Sport Code elaborated by FIA (Federation Internationale de
l'Automobile):
"Art.1.2.1.1. A kart is a land single seater vehicle without a
roof or a cockpit, without suspensions and with or without bodywork
elements with 4 non aligned wheels that are in contact with the
ground, the 2 front ones of which control the direction and the
other 2 rear ones, connected by a one piece axle, transmit the
power. The main parts are the chassis (including the bodywork), the
tyres and the engine".
In order to understand the international governing and
organizing of 4-wheel motorsports , on FIA
official site , www.fia.com , at
Sport/Championships section , one can see all the world
championships that FIA manages , and at the 8-th position is
The World Karting Championship . It is understood
that FIA manages all the 4-wheel sports from karting level
, up to Formula 1 or WRC .
In Romania, The National Authority for Sport and Youth ,
ANST , coordinating all the sporting federations, has a
"very generous" offer in the field of 4-wheel sports, considering
national federations for automobile sports and karting sport as
well , namely:
FRAS, The Romanian Federation of Automobile
Sport , established in 2005 , has over
1000 licensed drivers and is organized complying romanian
legislation, corresponding to the FIA Statute. FRAS covers all
National Championships in rallies , karting, hillclimb, offroad,
rallycross, etc . FRAS is the local authority in
motorsport, having therefore a dispute with Automobile Club of
Romania (ACR), still unsolved by the FIA.
FRK, The Romanian Federation for Karting , not
coresponding with any international sporting Federation, thus not
complying romanian sporting legislation, but benefiting of a
controversial civil court decision, had been established
afterwards, in 2011. FRK ,
supported by ACR, has statutory provisions
referring only to karting. In order to limit FRAS
to join FIA as a full member in its rights,
ACR rapidly delegated FIA
sporting power for karting, on yearly renewal basis, to the
recently established Romanian Karting Federation.
In the end, as a result of FIA indecision
with regards on FRAS affiliation, meanwhile
tolerating ACR, a civil association, as sporting power despite its
inactivity in the field of sport, 2 perfectly legal federations for
karting coexist on the territory of Romania: FRAS
coordinating Dunlop National Karting Championship, on the
other hand FRK, linked to CIK-FIA through ACR.
