ROK Cup USA is pleased to announce the official addition of the ROK SV Senior class to the 2026 Florida Winter Tour (FWT). Following its highly successful North American debut at ROK Vegas, where the category attracted an impressive 50 entries and widespread enthusiasm from teams and drivers, the class will now become a full championship category for the upcoming popular winter season.
For the 2026 FWT, the ROK SV Senior class will operate under the same exciting structure that made its Las Vegas introduction such a success. Raffle engines and kits will be provided for all three rounds of the Florida Winter Tour, ensuring fairness, parity, and top-level competition. The first raffle will take place on Thursday at 3pm with raffles two and three scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday morning. As in ROK Vegas, competitors will use the raffled engines for all on-track sessions Friday through Sunday.
Entry into the ROK SV Senior class will include the raffle engine and kit, and to maintain competitive balance and manage inventory, the class will be capped at 40 entries per event.
In addition, ROK SV Senior engine kits will be available for purchase for teams and drivers wishing to test or practice outside of official FWT competition weekends. All competition engines used during the Florida Winter Tour will come exclusively from the raffle pool.
“We saw incredible interest and excitement around the ROK SV category at ROK Vegas,” expressed Mike Burrell, Director of Operations for ROK Cup USA. “The parity, the performance, and the level of racing spoke for themselves. Bringing the class to the Florida Winter Tour was the natural next step, and we’re thrilled to offer this platform to drivers looking for a truly competitive and professional-level experience. With capped entries and raffle engines, we’re committed to keeping the racing fair, fast, and accessible.”
Registration for the 2026 Florida Winter Tour will officially open on December 1, 2025, with full event details, class structures, and schedules available at ROKCupUSA.com. ROK Cup USA looks forward to welcoming teams and competitors from around the world for an exciting 2026 Florida Winter Tour.
