About Us

Motorsport is controlled worldwide by two governing bodies: the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) responsible for all forms of automobile sport, and the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), responsible for all categories of motorcycling. The Commission Internationale de Karting (CIK), forms part of the FIA.

Both the FIA and FIM recognise only one National Federation in each country, with such Federation in turn being responsible for the control and administration of the sport in its own country. In South Africa, the FIA and FIM have transferred their sporting powers to Motorsport – South Africa (MSA) and all motorsporting events in the country are held in accordance with FIA and FIM Sporting Codes. South Africa is one of only a few countries responsible for the control of both car and motorcycle sporting events, with most other countries having separate governing bodies for the two disciplines.

There has never been any discrimination in motorsport, and before any club’s application for affiliation to MSA is considered, the club has to provide a copy of its Constitution to MSA, wherein it must be clearly stated that there will be no discrimination between race, colour, creed or religion within the club. The MSA Handbook further specifies this in the “Introduction” Section. The control of motorsport in South Africa is divided into six regions, namely Northern Regions; Kwazulu Natal; Western Province; Eastern Province; Border and FS/Northern Cape.

An inexhaustible passion for karting and the will to perfection led us to increasingly ambitious results.

To follow our ideas thoroughly. This is the philosophy that has allowed us to achieve many successes in the world’s most challenging races and it is this passion that took us to conceive and develop the ROK Cup project. Thanks to the inexhaustible desire to meet new challenges, at the end of the nineties we decided to create an engine that was easy to use and that would have changed the approach to the world of karting. Its name was fast and strong, as they were, and are, its performances: ROK!

We wanted to take on new challenges and so, in addition to having built the ROK engine, we decided to engage personally in the organization, promotion and support of our championship. So the ROK Cup came to light. From the first year in 2003, the ROK Cup has expanded and enlarged in a growing number of countries, so that today there are ROK championships in all continents and the ROK Cup International Final is followed and attended by over 400 ROKkers from all around the world.

The expansion of our championship was excellent and was able to meet the needs of drivers, so that the engine range has expanded year after year.

The LeVanto KRT serves as the model for all ROK Cup SA classes. The KRT is a product of careful research and development effort and is manufactured by LeCont. The LeVanto KRT tyres will be offered in the following sizes in the South African market and are an exclusive offering for ROK Cup Global, including ROK Cup SA:

– 4.5/10.0-5 (MINI)
– 7.1/11.0-5 (Senior)

All ROK Cup SA-sponsored events will continue to use Bridgestone rain tyres

Vortex, OTK Kart Group’s Engine Division, designs, manufactures and develops kart racing engines. Born in 1995, since the beginning it has collected numerous successes in the most important races. The first world title comes in 1996, and today we count 17 World Cups won in the different categories. Vortex’ production is divided between RACING top class engines for international competitions, and ROK engines granting high performance and reliability, designed for the ROK Cup, the one-make series by Vortex spread across the globe, which allows all drivers to test themselves and grow in the world of karting.

Processes, care and research for performance and quality are the same for both product lines. The distinctive strength of the Italian factory is its competence to manage the engine production in every aspect: from design to development, everything is carried out inside the factory, from start to finish. Vortex in fact, in the new headquarters of Pavia installed in 2012, hosts a technical office (employing 2D and 3D software), a production department (equipped with CNC machining - five, four, three axes) and a specific quality control division, which analysis each component to be measured with an instrumental precision instrument up to a tenth of a millimetre. Vortex’ flagship is the ceaseless activity of its own R&D department that, other than taking advantage of the test benches of the company, also benefits from the support of the official racing teams, Tony Kart Racing Team and Kosmic Racing Department.
