The Technical and Sporting Regulations of the ROK Cup 2025 brand Trophy, as well as the identification sheets (technical sheets) of the ROK engines have been approved by ACI SPORT.

Regulations: Regulations and fiches | ROK Cup Italia
Confirmations and changes of the Sporting Regulations are as follows:
Sporting Regulations:
Mini ROK U10 and Mini ROK categories, Art.5.1
Mini ROK U10 category with depowered Mini ROK engine (Mini ROK U10) is born, reserved to drivers born from January 1st, 2015.
Both categories will have a limited number of drivers: the maximum number of drivers admitted for each event, for each single category, will be 54, but the total number of drivers admitted to the two categories, i.e. Mini ROK drivers + Mini ROK U10 drivers, cannot exceed 72.
So, for example,
-if the Mini ROK drivers are 54, the Mini ROK U10 drivers cannot be more than 18: (54 Mini ROK + 18 Mini ROK U10 = 72 drivers totally); or vice versa: (18 Mini ROK + 54 Mini ROK U10 = 72 drivers totally);
-if the Mini ROK drivers are 40, the Mini ROK U10 drivers cannot be more than 32: (40 Mini ROK + 32 Mini ROK U10 = 72 drivers totally); or vice versa: (32 Mini ROK + 40 Mini ROK U10 = 72 drivers totally);
-if the Mini ROK drivers are 15, the Mini ROK U10 drivers cannot be more than 54; or vice versa, if the Mini ROK U10 drivers are 15, the Mini ROK drivers cannot be more than 54.
Depending on the number of checked drivers in the two categories, they may be grouped together for some stages or compete together for the whole event. In the latter case they will compete with separate rankings.
Junior ROK Category
with ROK GP Junior engine, reserved to drivers from 11 years of age, if they meet the requirements set out in RDSK 2025 Art.4, or if the 12th year will be turned within the current calendar year, up to the age of 16 not turned.
ROK Cup Italia: 8 rounds. To enter the championship ranking it will be necessary to attend at least 5 rounds and the best 5 results will be considered for the final ranking.

The admission requirement is as follows:
