Race Of Champions

The ROC was created in 1988 by Fredrik Johnsson and the world’s best woman rally driver Michèle Mouton.

The premise is simple: using identical equipment and track, drivers can prove themselves based on talent alone. The drivers compete in a series of knockout heats in their own division to determine their class champion. Then, in a shoot-out to determine who is the master of motorsport, the winners go head-to-head in a super final. The victor is awarded the title “The Champion of Champions”.

Drivers confirmed for 2007 include:
Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher
Formula One star Jenson Button
Reigning World Touring Car Champion, Andy Priaulx
Red Bull Racing’s David Coulthard
Triple Champ Car Champion Sébastien Bourdais
Seven-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen
Former DTM Champion Mattias Ekström
Reigning NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson
Eight-time X-Games Champion Travis Pastrana
Double World Rally Champion, Marcus Grönholm
Renault F1’s Heikki Kovalainen
Scuderia Toro Rosso’s Sebastian Vettel
1995 British Rally Champion Alister McRae
World Touring Car Championship star Yvan Muller
2003 World Rally Champion, Petter Solberg
Five-time Norwegian Rally Champion, Henning Solberg

This traditional end-of-season showdown attracts spectators from across Europe. For three years the event, held at the Stade de France in Paris, has attracted well over 50,000 spectators each year.

Last years Race of Champions was broadcast in over 200 countries and watched by more than 186 million viewers. This year it is in WEMBLY Stadium, yes I said WEMBLY Stadium. Whatta concept!!!

DAMN, Cockraoch gets around now doesn't he??? Why the fuck is he the ONLY NASCAR driver over there??? Just what NASCAR needs Queen Jimmie as an international ambassador. Maybe he and the "lads" will go play a lil golf again.
