ACI-ROK JUNIOR AND SENIOR ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Two weeks are missing before the start of the ACI-Rok Italian Championship, which will take place on the International circuit of Siena (March 27th, 28th and 29th).
The ACI-Rok Italian Championship will be open to two categories, Rok Junior and Rok Senior, both protagonists of five events on tracks we may define as formidable (Siena, Lonato, Sarno, Ugento and Adria) and among the most beautiful ones in Italy.
Rok Junior. 11 years old to enter the Italian Championship.
The minimum age to enter the cadet class is set (for all one-make championships) to 11 years and the maximum age is under 16. Therefore, the licenses allowing drivers to run in the Junior Rok are:
Nat. D, Nat. C Junior, Int. C Junior, C-restricted, National C Senior, Int. C senior.
Senior Rok. Same regulations for both areas and Italian Championship.
Also for Senior Rok, the sporting and technical regulations adopted for the ACI-Rok Italian Championship are totally the same as those approved and published on the website, so it is also valid for the area competitions and the spot events.
The only differences concern the format of the event (as for the Rok Junior category) and the equipment that will be used for the entire weekend.
Race format.
The main difference featuring the ACI-Rok Italian Championship as for the area races, lies in the format of the event, which includes heats and two finals valid for the score allocation.
The event will take place with the following activity:
• Qualifying heats. 8 minutes
• 2 Eliminatory heats of 15 km each (for both Junior and Senior category) or the running of matches if the entries exceed the track capacity.
• Ranking on the base of the sum of penalties
- Final round:
- Race 1 - 20 km
- Race 2 - 16 km
The grid of the first eight positions of race-2 will be drawn up on the basis of the arrival order of race-1, by applying the reverse order (the 8th classified driver of race-1 will start in the pole position, the 7th classified in the second position and so on).
The free practice will begin the THURSDAY before the event and will NOT be allowed to perform test sessions from Monday to Wednesday prior to the race. Instead, it will be possible to test the week before the race, until Sunday.
