How does the event work?

The Race of Champions event is split into two – the Race of Champions and the Nations Cup.

The Race of Champions is an individual event where drivers go head-to-head.

The Nations Cup sees drivers team up with their fellow countrymen in pairs.

Vettel and seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher hold the record for the most Nation Cup wins, six consecutive triumphs between 2007 and 2012.

The draw

Both draws have already been made with a few notable matchups.

F1 legend Hakkinen will take on F2 champion Drugovich, while Vettel will go head-to-head with Chadwick.

Schumacher wants to see off Indycar star Rosenqvist.

In terms of the Nations Cup, two of the best sim racers in the world in Blakeley and Opmeer will have to be at their best to overcome Team Finland’s Bottas and Hakkinen.
