The ROK Cup is expanding with a new category for the gearbox engines. Next to the Shifter ROK, featuring the ROK Shifter engine by Vortex, the 2027 season will see the introduction of a new category using the TM Kart KZ engine. To make it easier for all drivers who already own TM Kart engines to enter the category, engines do not require any specific technical modifications.
During ROK Cup race weekends, there will therefore be two distinct categories-one for Vortex engines and one for TM Kart engines-each with its own standings. Further information and details regarding the new ROK Cup category powered by TM Kart will be released in the coming weeks.
