For 17 Canadian Rok Cup racers, their ambitions to compete on the international stage and represent their country have led them to South Garda Karting in northern Italy for the Rok Cup SuperFinal.
Annually, the SuperFinal draws rokkers from around the globe to the mecca of karting with hundreds of racers on the entry list.
With a number of ways to earn an entry to the event this season, along with a handful of drivers from last year that weren’t able to travel and compete getting a second chance, we have a great number of drivers on their way to Italy for the event.
Normally, racers would have two weekends of racing to travel for, but the Trofeo d’Autunno at South Garda Karting was scheduled for a different weekend and instead, a collective test will be held the weekend before the event.
So who is competing in Italy this week with a Canadian flag on their race suit? Here’s the list and which teams they will race with (if they have joined one). We’ve also had a peek at the unofficial entry list, featuring 318 entrants, which we are expecting to grow a little more.
CKN will be in Italy for the event and we can’t wait to return to South Garda Karting and cover the event for our Canadian drivers.
