The good thing about this years ROC is that at least we don't have to get up at silly o'clock to watch it like the last two years. Plus it's brilliant that it's gonna be host in Germany the Nations champions country. Anyone know the venue it'll be hosted in Germany?

Timo Glock is the 6th F1 driver to confirm they are driving at the ROC. He is teaming up with Timo Scheider double DTM champ to for Germanys 'B' team in the Race of nations. (well I don't think Vettel and Schumy would enjoy being called the 'B' team )

There was 16 drivers last year so we still have a few more to go if they have the same number this year. Fingers crossed for some more Brits.

David Coulthard has now confirmed as making his 6th appearance. The KTM guys will be nervous after the amount of crashes he had in it last year

DC in? Jenson in? Giggity

More drivers confirmed. Rallytastic.

Finland’s Hänninen, the 2011 S-WRC champion and 2010 IRC champion, will team up with Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen for Team Nordic.

Czech driver Kopecký, IRC runner-up for the last three years, will partner F1 star Vitaly Petrov in Team Slavic, the first ROC pairing from Eastern Europe.

Last years surprise champion Fillipe Albuquerque has confirmed he will defend his title this year. Fillipe raced in DTM in 2011 and surprised everyone at last years ROC by defeating Vettel in the Semi Final and Leob in the Final. Can he do it again this year ?

Only 8 and half days to go....

Just found out it is NOT on Eurosport this year.
But it will be shown LIVE on MOTORS TV UK channel 413 on Sky.
No idea if this channel is available on Virgin, FreeSat or FreeView. Maybe someone can help.

Will also be shown live on the ROC website. http://www.raceofchampions.com/

Is there a place where I can find out where it's being broadcast in every country? I can't find anything on the site.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

If you pick a specific country it might be easier.

 

[Josh]

Yes smartass , I searched for both broadcast the Netherlands and broadcast Holland but didn't come up with any results, so I was wondering if there was a page that I missed which showed all the broadcasts around the world.

Don't know, but you are not that far away. You could go and watch it in the stadium.

 

[Josh]

I would if I could, but I'm poor! Ah well, I'll just watch it on the site.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Hmm. Gatwick to Dusseldorf sat morning £60. Return Sunad afternoon £45. Tickets to ROC Nations Cup from £20. B&B £20.

Total = £125

So about £150 if I want better seats. This could be a goer! I'll probably spend the same if I stay at home.
