The Race Of Champions

The Race Of Champions is an annual end-of-season contest which has been held for over 25 years. It brings together the world's greatest drivers from motor sport's major disciplines - including Formula 1, World Rally, Le Mans, MotoGP, Touring Cars, IndyCar and the X-Games - and sets them free to battle head-to-head in identical machinery.

The former Olympic Stadium, the backdrop to some of the most memorable action of London 2012, will now stage its fastest ever race after it saw off contenders from all over the world to host the prestigious motor sport event.

The event is run over two days: first comes the ROC Nations Cup (on the evening of Friday November 20th) when drivers pair up in teams based on nationality to bid for the title of World's Fastest Nation. Then on the afternoon of Saturday November 21st it's time for the Race Of Champions itself, when teamwork goes out of the window and it's a flat-out battle for individual glory.

Drives confirmed so far are Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo and the current Champion of Champions David Coulthard from the world of Formula 1; Tom Kristensen, the greatest competitor the Le Mans 24-Hours has ever known; rally driver Petter Solberg; double MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo; and one of motorcycle racing’s all-time legends, Mick Doohan.
