CRG is an Italian kart chassis manufacturer. Notable drivers who competed using their machinery include Max Verstappen and his mother Sophie Kumpen, as well as Alex Zanardi, Vitantonio Liuzzi and Lewis Hamilton.

Founded by three Italian racers (Carlo Vanaria, Roberto Vanaria and Giancarlo Tinini), CRG was originally known as Kalì Kart. In the beginning, the company was viewed as unfavorable, with Zanardi being told by his original team, DAP, that if he didn't stop complaining, they would "send him to Kalì". By the mid-1980s, Kalì had recovered from its inauspicious beginnings and was winning world championships with drivers including Mike Wilson.

Kalì changed its name to CRG in the 1986. Max Verstappen, Alex Zanardi, Ralf Schumacher, Giancarlo Fisichella, and others have competed for the brand.
