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.
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.
Alex, the RBI Sport CEO: “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.”
Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping adventure like no other, a challenge not only mechanical but also human through the breathtaking and colorful landscapes of Romania. The routes, studied in the smallest details, blend classic trophy elements with innovative features, promising an unparalleled racing experience. At the heart of The ROCK is our focus on the highest quality of the competition. With affordable entry fees and a bivouac equipped to meet all needs, the event also provides comfort to those who prefer to stay in a hotel.
Advanced tracking systems and stringent safety measures will ensure that the race remains both thrilling and fair, so competitors can push themselves to the edge with confidence.
With deep roots in trophy history, RBI Sport invites all extreme offroad enthusiasts to be part of this extraordinary adventure, a true celebration of the offroad spirit. Registrations open in October, so now is the time to secure your place in this landmark event. Supported by the biggest names in off-road racing and the Automobile Federation of Romania, with its rich tradition in trophy events, The ROCK is set to become the pinnacle of offroad event in Europe, offering an unparalleled blend of tradition, innovation, and sheer extreme challenge.
Why we support The ROCK Trophy: “We love extreme class: it’s the most demanding class for people and machine and it brings much more self-satisfaction when you achieve to overcome the multiple obstacles that you find on the track. We love the terrain of Romania: there is no such place in the world where we can feel so close to nature, feel so free to drive in the woods and face those enormous challenges while doing so. Romania is a real paradise for off-roaders. Having an extreme class only event in Romania is just the perfect dream for every one like us: purpose made tracks, dedicated orga people, dedicated media, the top quality of RBI roadbooks, the perfect RBI camp, what else would you dare to ask for??? Don’t hesitate a second, this is the perfect race for you!”

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!
