Only days away from embraking on the 2011 ROK Cup Italia, the J£ Competition Race Department is set to make good on its efforts. Having competeted in several European events, including last year's Rok Cup with Patricio O'Ward, J3 Competition will manage and run two drivers. The young spotlight drivers are Patricio O'Ward and Michael d'Orlando who will both be competing in the Mini Rok category aboard J3 Competition prepared Kosmic Karts. Also on a Kosmic will be Davey Manthei Jr. of Kartel Motorsports alongside tuner Erik Bartolero.
The evnt will nce again be set in Lonato, Italy at the famed South Garda Karting Circuit. Starting with free practiceon Tuesday, the team will work through three sessions until Friday when official qualification takes place. After qualifying the event will hold three heat races on Saturday with the finals to follow on Sunday.
Returning after a near victory in 2011, O'Ward will be looking to improve upon his record breaking foruth place finish this time around. With solid knowledge of the Mini Rok engine package and the different tires required for the Rok Cup, O'Ward will definitely start off on Tuesday on the rights side of the curve. With strong expectations O'Ward looks forward to make another mark for himself and the J3 Competition Race Department at the 2011 event.
Michael d'Orlando will be looking to continue his steady improvement since joining the J3 Competition team with his first trip to Europe. Unipro data acquisition systems will aid O'Ward and d'Orlando in comparison and with solid expectations of improving and learning a wealth of driving knoweldge, d'Orlando will take his experience forward when traveling to Las Vegas in november to compete in the TaG Cadet field at the SuperNationals.
"The RoK Cup is one of the most competitive events in the world, and probably the most competitive for the 8-11 year old category. Last year we were close to victory with young O'Ward and this year we will have new material coupled with O'Ward returning and the addition of d'Orlando, so outlook is very positive from the onset"stated team manger Justin Stefani.
