The Mini ROK U10 category with depowered Mini Rok engine (Mini Rok U10) is born, dedicated to drivers born from January 1st, 2016. Also, for the Mini Rok U10 category, which has a limited number of drivers (max. 36), the format which employs the use of engines supplied and distributed by drawing lots by the Promoter, will be applied for all ROK CUP ITALIA events and for any other Rok Cup events during the season 2026.

Mini Rok Category:
Reserved to drivers born in 2015 or before, up to 14 years of age not turned; the category will have a limited number of drivers (max.36); the format which employs the use of engines supplied and distributed by drawing lots by the Promoter for all ROK CUP ITALIA rounds and for other Rok Cup rounds during the season will be applied.

Senior Rok, Expert Rok / Expert Rok Plus categories:
The Senior Rok category will be reserved as usual to drivers from 14 years of age (13, if the 14th year will be turned by the end of the current year);
the Expert Rok category to drivers from 32 years of age (31, if the 32^nd year will be turned by the end of the current year);
the Expert Rok Plus category to drivers from 45 years of age (44, if the 45^th year will be turned before the end of the current year);

ROK SVR engine:
Please note that option 2 for the inlet silencer, model KG Power Base 23, has been added to the identification sheets; therefore, the suction filter model KG Nitro 23, already present, becomes option 1.

Super Rok category:
with Rok DVS engine, reserved as always to drivers from 14 years of age (13, if the 14^th year will be turned by the end of the current year).

DVS engine:
Option 1 for the piston and option 1 for the cylinder head and combustion chamber have been removed from the identifications sheet. Therefore, only the head and piston (was option 2 in the identification sheet dated 2025) remains in the current engine identification sheet.

Option 2 of the piston ring has also been added to the engine identification sheet.

Rok Shifter Category
with Rok Shifter engine, reserved as always to drivers from 15 years of age (14, if the 15^th year will be turned by the end of the current year).

Rok Shifter engine:
The identification sheet has been updated in order to make the Technical Regulation more flexible, changing the previous approach. In this update, the technical references have been significantly simplified; as a result, any checks by the Technical Commissioners will be based exclusively on the components clearly indicated in the engine identification sheet.

SPORTING REGULATIONS:

Licences and Ages
See the abovementioned paragraphs reserved to the different categories.

Rok Cup Italia 2026: The championship includes eight races: one-day races for the Mini Rok and Mini Rok U10 categories and two-day races for all other categories.

However, the race procedure has changed, with a pre-final and final instead of race 1 and race 2.

Specifically, the following will take place after free practice:

- official qualifying
- qualifying heats (if the number of drivers exceeds the track capacity)
- pre-final (not held if qualifying heats are held)
- final

The criteria for entering the Championship rankings remain unchanged: it will be necessary to attend in at least 5 rounds and the best 5 results will be considered for the final ranking.
The winners of the ROK Cup Italy, or to better say, will be entitled to access the ROK Cup Superfinal 2026 as qualified drivers, this means they will receive a reserved place and free registration, free slick tires vouchers for the race (from qualifying to the finals), three overnight stays for the driver offered by the Promoter and lunch tickets to be used on the track during the race days.

Once more, the Levanto tyres used in the last season have been confirmed for the 2026 Rok Cup races.

Rok Cup Superfinal 2026: It will be held from the 13^th to the 17^th of October at the South Garda Karting track in Lonato.
The ROK Cup Superfinal is a one-round competition, scheduled on several days, with limited and selected enrolments; entries are by invitation only.
The race will be attended by Italian and foreign drivers, qualified drivers (with reserved seat, i.e. having received a prize/recognition previously agreed with the Promoter) and wild card drivers, selected by the Promoter according to its own criteria.

For WILD CARD DRIVERS the admission requirement to the ROK CUP SUPERFINAL 2026 is the following:

- having attended at least 5 races of Rok Cup Italy 2026;
- having attended an official ROK Cup Championship recognised by the Promoter (the minimum number of races to register to the Superfinal is decided by the Championship Organiser)

We remind you that the possession of the admission requirements doesn’t guarantee the participation in the event, which is subject to the limited number of each category.

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS:
The use of OTK-branded sprockets is now mandatory in all Rok categories.
The maximum percentage (%) of ENI Kart 2T oil for the fuel mixture has been set at 6%. 

These are just some previews that might still be subject to some modifications; as soon as we receive the approval of both regulations and engine technical sheets, all details will follow.
