On Saturday 30 May, Grade 5 student Ryan Chapman competed in the second round of the Rok Cup Asia at the KF1 Karting Track in Kranji. The Rok Cup is an internationally run karting championship with a drive at the finals in Italy up for grabs.

During the round Ryan was fastest in qualifying, which meant he started the first race in pole position. After a great start, he led until the chequered flag to record a win as well as setting the fastest lap time. His finishing position determined his starting position for the final. After dropping to third at the start, he drove a patient and determined race and Ryan made his way to the front of the pack where he managed to pull away and finish the race with a decent sized gap back to second. Once again setting the fastest lap time.
