Dec 16, Wembley Stadium, London, England.

Since 1988, the Race of Champions (ROC) have been held annually to pitch some of the best race and rally drivers in the world in identical cars running in parallel on figure of eight tracks. This year's cars are Ford Focus WRCs, Aston Martin Vantage N24s and the beastly 437hp/tonne ROC buggies.

This year's 16 invited drivers include Michael Schumacher, Jensen Button, Andy Priaulx, Jimmie Johnson, Tom Kristensen, Se'bastien Bourdais, Petter Solberg and Marcus Gronholm.
