I bet organizers are still trying to get Lewis to partner DC, but if they are unsuccessful, I reckon they will merge DC and Jason Plato into the same team Rolling Eyes

Good luck to him Laughing

The only bike rider to do well in RoC was Travis Pastrana, so it will be sooooo tough for him!!
And I think Adam Carroll might go down as well, Eckie is very strong!

I'd bet on Loeb as a driver and Germany as a nation.

Team Germany - comprising Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher - retained their title in the Race Of Champions (ROC) Nations Cup at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday. In the main event, former Red Bull racer David Coulthard narrowly lost out to five-time world rally champion Sebastien Loeb.

The reunited pairing of Formula One’s youngest ever race winner Vettel and seven-time world champion Schumacher never looked troubled as they powered undefeated through the Nations Cup heats before beating the Team Scandinavia line-up of Le Mans 24 hour winner Tom Kristensen and former German touring car (DTM) champion Mattias Ekstrom in the final.

In the best-of-three heat ROC final, Coulthard and Loeb took one win apiece before the Scot missed out to the Frenchman by just 0.3 seconds in a nail biting decider contested in purpose-built ROC cars.

The Race Of Champions brings together the best stars of motorsport from around the world to compete on a specially-built tarmac race track in a selection of high-performance cars.

This year’s event also included many demonstration runs, including Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren. Hamilton was scheduled to face off against Beijing Olympic cycling gold medallist Chris Hoy, on his racing bike, in a unique ‘Man versus Machine’ challenge. However, it was called off after concerns about the slippery surface of the track.

It's ridiculous. Compared to Paris, there's even no audience anymore.

I agree, Stad de France was..mmm... cosier ))) having been to the last 5 Races I can compare )) but lets not forget how much bigger Wembley is, it's extremely difficult to fill it up! It affects the atmosphere, no doubt, but I gotta say, facilities at Wembley are head and shoulder above Stad de France!!!

80 000 vs. 90 000, it's nothing. Wembley is almost empty. ROC 2004 forever! Cool
