MOTORSPORT SOUTH AFRICA

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.

ROK CUP BY VORTEX

The ROK Cup is built around a simple yet powerful idea, realized with determination and precision by Vortex, a leading manufacturer in the karting world. Since its inception in 2003, the ROK Cup has steadily grown to dominate the global karting landscape, now present in over 30 countries across five continents. This success stems from a clear vision: to create a racing series that combines ease of use, high performance, low maintenance costs, and stable regulations—qualities that set the ROK Cup apart.

Thanks to Vortex’s extensive experience in karting, the series has developed a range of engines—Kid Rok, Mini Rok, Junior Rok, Rok GP, Rok DVS, and Shifter Rok—that perfectly combine performance and reliability. With a standardized engine and tire system, the ROK Cup ensures that competition is based purely on driver skill, rather than equipment advantage. The frame remains free, allowing for personal customization while maintaining a level playing field.

The ROK Cup is not just a championship; it’s a breeding ground for future motorsport stars. With a focus on affordable, competitive racing, the series provides an ideal platform for drivers of all ages to develop their skills and take on unforgettable challenges. Many successful drivers, including World Champions Luca Corberi and Alessio Lorandi, as well as international karting champions like Patrick Hajek, have started their careers in the ROK Cup, proving it to be a true training ground for future champions.

By offering a clear progression pathway from grassroots racing to elite international events, the ROK Cup continues to provide the ideal environment for drivers serious about advancing their careers in motorsport.

FIA

Established in 1904, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has been at the forefront of motor sport governance, initially focusing on establishing consistent safety and regulatory standards. Over the years, the FIA has grown into a global authority, uniting 243 Member Organisations across 147 countries, spanning five continents. The FIA is the governing body for world motorsport and a key advocate for sustainable, safe, and accessible mobility through its federation of leading Mobility Organisations worldwide.

A Global Force in Motorsports

From its early days, when city-to-city races lacked governance and safety protocols, the FIA has played a critical role in shaping the sport. In 1950, the FIA launched the Formula One World Championship, marking the beginning of its ascent as a global motorsport powerhouse. Today, the FIA oversees a wide array of prestigious events, including the Formula One World Championship, the World Rally Championship, endurance racing, and emerging alternative energy competitions. The FIA is dedicated to ensuring that all motorsport events are regulated equitably and adhere to the highest safety standards.

Commitment to Safety and Fairness

The FIA has always recognized the inherent dangers of motorsport, committing significant resources to improve safety across all categories. In the 1960s, the frequency of fatalities in Formula One was tragically high, with one in eight events resulting in a driver's death. Today, through decades of research and rigorous safety regulations, the FIA has dramatically reduced incidents and fatalities in its events. The FIA continues its tireless pursuit to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities, ensuring all drivers and participants are in "safe hands."
