Cars
"ROC Cars, Citroën Xsara WRC, Porsche 911 GT3 Road Challenge, Renault Mégane Trophy Format 20 of the world¹s best drivers divided in 2 groups - 1 group Racing (12 drivers),
1 group Rally (8 drivers). The 2 groups do not meet each other before the Super Final.
Each heat is run over 2 full laps, which means 4 runs past the Start/Finish line."

Few quotes from the web site
"Who is the fastest?! It is decided each year at The Race of Champions where the world’s best circuit racers and off-road drivers compete head-to-head."

"Created in 1988 by IMP (International Media Productions) President Fredrik Johnsson and the world’s best female rally driver, Michele Mouton, the ROC remains the only opportunity for drivers to race in exactly the same cars and on a parallel-track. The premise is simple: using identical equipment and track, drivers can prove themselves based on their talent alone."

Roll on the 16th December

 

I saw this last year when they used Ferrari 360's and it was ACE!

Lucky man
