The Rok Cup 2023 regulations are still under approval by ACI SPORT. While we are waiting to receive them, we report hereafter some previews.

TECHNICAL REGULATION:
Mini Rok Category: we reconfirm the same format also for the 2023 season, which involves the distribution and allocation by drawing lots of the engines hired by the Promoter for every ROK CUP ITALIA round and for some other races during the season, ROK CUP WINTER TROPHY included.

The innovations in 2023 concern:
- the increase of the number of admitted drivers from 34 to maximum 54
- the transmission ratio (rear crown) must be the one indicated by the Promoter, with a tolerance of ± 1 cog

Cooling system:
The mandatory use of the OTK original radiators, already introduced last year in the Senior Rok, Junior Rok and Expert/Expert Plus Rok categories, has been extended in the Shifer Rok and Super Rok categories too for 2023, in order to have equal performances.

- ROK GP: for the Senior Rok, Junior Rok, Expert Rok and Expert Rok Plus categories, it is mandatory to use the original radiator supplied with the ROK GP engine and from 2023 it is also mandatory to use the original complete water pump and the original water pump pulley supplied with the engine.
