ROK Cup Quebec Introduces ‘Rooky Cup’ Program for 2015 Presented by King Autosport

Coming off the success of their first season, the ROK Cup Quebec organizers are excited announce the development of a new program for their 2015 campaign. Continuing to focus their efforts on the youngest drivers of the sport and introducing new racers, ROK Cup Quebec along with King Autosport have developed the ‘Rooky Cup’ for pilots aged 7 to 10.

All drivers will compete on identical equipment provided by King Karting Canada and ROK Cup Quebec in an Arrive and Drive format with no need to purchase a chassis or engine to compete. Drivers will only be required to provide their race gear (suit, helmet, etc).

“Our intentions are to provide a level playing ground for new drivers interested in karting,” explains series promoter LP Gelinas. “We want to provide equal opportunities for all new drivers and really get them interested in the sport. We are very excited about the second year of the ROK Cup Quebec, especially with the addition and support of SH Karting along with this new program with King Autosport.”
