During the BBC F1 forum show, Jenson mentioned that he would be taking part in the Race of Champions, which I had never heard of, so having consulted Google and Google video, I reckon this will be worth a watch.

I just tuned in to see live footage of Schuey and Vettel taking first place over Jenson and some geezer who I didn't recognise, in the Nations Cup.
Tomorrow will be the actual race of champions and afaik, will be "narrowcasted" live on t'interwebz at the link below ...
Race of Champions
Coverage starts at 12:00 midday. :thumbup:

In the meantime, I'm going to have a butchers at some of the Google vidz from previous years as I'm off sick and thoroughly bored.

Race of champions is a superb event. What is always highlights though is how much of a better driver the rally guys are compared to the F1 and other drivers.

That's rather a bold statement ... a quick look at the list of cars and the track layout shows that the rally boys probably have something of an advantage.

The whole point of the race of champions is to place everyone in the same vehicles and see who comes out top. Cars which are essentially unknown to most of them. If they are good at driving (regardless of their chosen discipline) then it shouldn't matter what they drive.

to back up Evostu's comment...

i do believe it has been won by a Rally driver pretty much most of the time??
