About Race Of Champions
Race Of Champions has been running since 1988 and has been hosted at some of the world’s most iconic venues, from Wembley and the Stade de France to Beijing’s Bird’s Nest and the frozen Baltic Sea. Past competitors include Sebastian Vettel, Sébastien Loeb, Lando Norris and Michael Schumacher.
The format is simple. Identical cars remove equipment as an excuse, leaving one question: who really is the fastest?
Across two nights, Kiwi talent takes on the international field in a genuine NZ v The World contest.
- ROC Nations Cup. Saturday 9 January 2027
