After the excellent start of the ROK Cup Winter Trophy last February, the ROK Talk Show gathers a large audience also in the episode reserved for the 1^st round of the ROK Cup Italy. The second episode of 2025 of the web program dedicated to the post-race of the one-make series by Vortex, aired last Thursday, March 20^th at 9.00 pm on our Facebook page, reached over 37,000 people (survey of March 24^th, 2025).

This time, Matteo Bobbi – Sky Sport F1 expert and driver with a significant career in karting, Formula 1 and GT competitions – delved into the race weekend, held at the Franciacorta Karting Track in Castrezzato (Italy) on 15-16 March, along with the highlights of all seven categories at the starting grid (Mini ROK U10,  Mini ROK, Junior ROK, Senior ROK, Expert ROK, Super ROK and Shifter ROK).

As always, the ROK Talk Show gives space to the words of the main protagonists, through the interviews carried out on the track at the end of the awards ceremony, including the winner of the Senior ROK final, Andrea Giudice: "I was very cautious at the start, without pushing too hard, to be able to manage the tires given the length of the race. Little by little I got into my rhythm, I always lowered my times and I brought home the victory". The leader of the Expert ROK, Andrea Sorbello, also expressed his opinion to the microphones of the ROK Talk Show: "Race 1 was difficult because there were still some wet spots, where the risk of spinning was real. With the experience gained last year, in Race 2 I was calmer at the start and I took advantage of other people's mistakes to win."

But the ROK Talk Show goes beyond the chronicle of the races and offers the opportunity to go deep into the karting world... Even snatching a smile! And in this episode, some Junior ROK drivers – including Angelo Pecoraro, Alberto Masotto, Francesco Iannuzzo, Ilias Mitaki, Matteo Peruccio, Oğuz Marangoz and Riccardo Brangero – were put to the test with a quiz. But that's not all, because episode number 2 of the 2025 season has also given the chance to describe the ever-increasing presence of girls in the championship, among which we find the name of Gaia Cardinali, in the paddock for almost nine years now, which certainly stands out.
