An Epic Off-Road Adventure Begins!

 THE ROCK | 06 - 11.04.2025

The ROCK Trophy: Europe's Missing Extreme Event, The Dream Of Every Tough Offroader Is Finally Here!

In April 2025, we will kick off a new exciting project that will take extreme enthusiasts to offroad heaven with one of the wildest, challenging, most adventurous and spectacular events on the RBI Sport calendar: The ROCK Trophy in Romania.

When:06 – 11.04.2025
Where:Romania
Classes:Cars: Extreme, Challenger, Legends
Description:5 rally legs

This unique event fills a void in the European offroad scene, carrying traditions and spirit of the trophies back in the days and offering relentless challenges of endurance and skills on rugged terrain combined with complex intelligent navigation. Exclusively reserved for extreme and trophy racing vehicles The Rock challenges everyone who dares to take a place on the start line. The separation of the cars in classes according to their technical capabilities balances the competition factor and creates fair environment to race among equals, offering everyone the chance to fight for the victory in his class.

The ROCK is meant to become the home of ALL tough and passionate offroaders and not only to the high-tech combat machines. A special attention is dedicated to the competitors with modified production cars like a Defender, G-Wagon, Wrangler, Patrol, Landcruiser, Pinzgauer, Samurai, etc. who marked the beginning of the offroad sport more than thirty years ago and who are the guardians of the true spirit of adventure and team work. A special class with special rally routes and special rally program is the least what we as organizer can offer these competitors. And their class will proudly carry the name The LEGENDS.

My heart starts beating fast when I think of how I stepped into the offroad sport. These memories are so stunning and alive even if many years have past. The trophies back at that time forged me as a fighter, as an adventurer but also as a fair team player. The offroad reveals these priceless personal values that one can hardly know if living a calm and decent life. The extreme grew in me confidence, respect and gratitude and it has become my philosophy and my family. The ROCK is not only a competition, it’s a home.

I have participated in the RBI events 9 times already. The upcoming event, The ROCK, will mark my 10th participation, a sort of anniversary for me. I am really excited to see what RBI has prepared for us, as I noticed there is only an EXTREME category. I am sure it will be an incredible experience in the beautiful Romanian forest. See you all there!
