Keep an eye out this week as our own Iver Spence competes in the Rok Cup Superfinal in Italy!

Good luck Iver and Team NZ

🏁 5 KIWIS SET TO RACE AT THE ROK SUPERFINAL IN ITALY🏁

Five Kiwi karters have made their way to the ROK Cup Superfinal at South Garda, Italy! Each earned their seat through the ROK Cup New Zealand Series or by winning the National Sprint Championships in the ROK classes, and they arrive with strong form from tracks around NZ, plus valuable experience racing overseas.

🏁 Meet the team:
Iver Spence – Karting Canterbury – Mini ROK #112
Charlie Clarke – Karting Eastern Bay of Plenty – Mini ROK #122
Tommy Hart – Karting Manawatu – Junior ROK #234
Jack Amon – Karting Taranaki – Super ROK #614
Seth Frost – Karting Taranaki – Super ROK #604

Amon, Frost and Spence have been here before, having raced the 2025 Superfinal at this very track. Spence claimed a brilliant 3rd place podium, while our two Super ROK drivers had their campaigns derailed by mechanical issues and on-track incidents. This year they’re back to prove a point!

😎Qualifying Heats kicking off just after 1am Thurs 16 Oct NZ time.
🎥Livestream on YouTube on the Rok by Vortex Channel.

🏁 Help secure the future of Karting in Canterbury!

Karting Canterbury is working towards relocating our track to a new, purpose-built facility, creating a sustainable home for karting and an exciting motorsport venue for our community.

We’re asking Christchurch City Council and the public to get behind the project and support the relocation.

This is about more than just racing. It’s about youth development, community, sport, competition and keeping karting alive in Canterbury for generations to come.

👉 Support the project. Support karting. Support the future.
