ROK TALENT VISITS THE FACTORY

The Rok Talent Award winner, Giuseppe Gaglianò, on last week visited the Tony Kart and the Kosmic Kart factory, both official Vortex partners. The young Italian driver, after the initial excitement for the success gained in the extraordinary Vortex project, is now ready to start working.
Gaglianò visited the factory where all Tony Kart, Kosmic Kart, FA Kart and Exprit chassis are manufactured. And it is just with the Kosmic Racing Department that the Italian Rok Talent will face the new year’s engagements, running the European Championship and the World Cup in KF3 category, as official Vortex driver.    

Giuseppe Gaglianò won together the Japanese Ryota Kiyohara the first edition of the Rok Talent Award, a group of selected drivers amongst the most talented Rokker from all over the world, and thanks to the big success obtained the project will be launched again in 2012. The visit also allowed the excited Giuseppe Gaglianò to better know any detail of the official Vortex-Kosmic Kart team’s schedule for his next new experience as well as practical details, such as the size of the race suit, the seat and other details concerning the training he will have to do before the important competitions.  

Very important to be reminded is that in order to take part in the Rok Talent Award it is not necessary to run with Tony Kart, Kosmic Kart, FA Kart or Exprit chassis. Moreover drivers are not requested at all to employ such material during those competitions which are not included in the Vortex prize.

The factory is awarding the two best drivers with a unique and important prize, the opportunity to be part of one of its official teams to attend the World Cup and the European Championship in KF2 and KF3 categories, free of charges.

Giuseppe Gaglianò is hardly working in sight of the next season at the drive of a Rok Junior. Giuseppe’s plans include the participation at the Rok Cup 2012, North Area, except for the race of 29th of April at Castelletto di Branduzzo. In that date, Gaglianò, will make his début in the official Vortex colours for the first CIK European competition of KF3 category, on the fast French circuit of Varennes.

The other engagements of the two Rok Talent Award winners will be:

• 1^st round CIK-FIA European Championship – April, 26^th to 29^th – Varennes International Circuit (France)
• 2^nd round CIK-FIA European Championship – July, 18^th to 22^nd – Circuit PF. International Circuit (Great Britain)

Giuseppe Gaglianò told about his first day as Vortex driver:

“I am excited and happy for the experience I am now going to go through.I am already working at the track with the Junior Rok chassis and soon I will also train with the KF3.I wish to give my advice to any young driver who want like me to run and improve. Choose Rok, I began with the Mini Rok and I always enjoyed a lot, anything is painstaking and categories are a really training school.Finally I wish everyone a Merry Christmas”
