Once again, there are many followers for the fourth round of the ROK Talk Show, the ROK Cup after-race web program. The episode reserved for the ROK Cup Italy’s third round, aired on our Facebook page last Thursday, May 1^st, at 9.00 pm, reached almost 29,000 people (survey of May 5^th, 2025).

For the second time in 2025, Mara Sangiorgio, Sky Sport F1 journalist and great karting enthusiast, talked about the races held at the Franciacorta Karting Track in Castrezzato (BS) on 26-27 April in detail. As always, the highlights and interviews with all the main leaders of the seven categories of the championship (Mini ROK U10, Mini ROK, Junior ROK, Senior ROK, Expert ROK, Super ROK and Shifter ROK) enriched the story of the ROK Cup Italy’s event.

Among the more than 200 drivers on the track, Niccolò Perico certainly stood out, author of a second place in race 1 and a victory in race 2 in the Mini ROK: "I think it was a great fight in race 1. In the end we arrived in three drivers at the finish line, I was beaten by only 17 thousandths, but that's okay. In race 2, with Bissa it was difficult, as well as before with Nanni and Noviello, but we managed to bring home the first place". Tomasz Cichoracki, second place in the Junior ROK final, also comes out of the third round with his head held high, thanks to the momentary first place in the championship standings: "The final was very complicated, the pace in the first half of the race was not so good, but in the second half it improved a lot. The battle was very tough because I had very fast drivers in front of me and it was difficult to overtake them."

There was also no shortage of in-depth services in this ROK Talk Show. This time, the Rokkers of all categories were put to the test through an "artistic" challenge: having only a simple white sheet of paper and a marker, they had to replicate the design of the Franciacorta circuit... Completely by heart! A track that, on the other hand, Tino Donadei knows perfectly, who has been racing in the ROK Cup Italy for almost twenty years, protagonist of the coverage reserved for the "private" drivers.
