The Entry List : Rok the Rio – Part 3

We’re only days away from touching down in Las Vegas for the inaugural Rok the Rio. The hype continues to build as Rok Cup USA prepares their temporary circuit in the rear parking lot at the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The total number of entries has now exceeded 215 drivers and we’re excited to share part 1 of the entry list, featuring the Micro Rok, Mini Rok, Junior Rok grids. Junior Rok is nearing 40 drivers in total, with Mini Rok in the thirties. It is also great to see the foundation of the sport, Micro Rok, with more than twenty entrants.

The paddock will be very diverse as well with 16 drivers from different countries and all four corners of the USA. There are also no less than 28 different chassis brands that will hit the asphalt this weekend in Las Vegas.

Part 1 – Micro, Mini and Junior Rok

Part 2 – Senior and Master Rok, 100cc Senior and Masters

• Danny Formal – The winner from the OVRP Rok Fest and a top-10 runner at the Rok International Final, Formal is a leading candidate at just about any race he competes at.
• Davide Greco – The fastest Canadian this season hasn’t had that much luck in big events but is rolling the dice in Las Vegas before he jets off to Brazil for the Rotax Grand Finals.
• Kol Bailey – This year’s Challenge of the Americas Vice-Champion will help debut the new GFC chassis and looks to be a contender.
• Antonio Pizzonia – He’s a former Formula 1 driver from Brazil that showed great speed at the OVRP Rok Fest. Will be interesting to watch a driver take on the Senior instead of the Masters.
• Isaac Marritt – Returning from the Rok International Final, Marritt enters the event as the Canadian Champion looking to leave another international impression.
