About the event

The Race of Champions (ROC) is an international motorsport event held at the start or end of each year, featuring some of the world's best racing and rally drivers from Formula One, World Rally Championship, IndyCar, NASCAR, sports car racing, touring car racing, and motorcycle racing, who compete against each other in identical cars. The race was first organised in 1988 by former rally driver Michèle Mouton and Fredrik Johnsson, IMP (International Media Productions) President. Originally the event was a competition between the world's best rally drivers, but has since expanded to include top competitors from most other motorsport disciplines. The top individual overall in the Race of Champions is given the title "Champion of Champions" and receives the Henri Toivonen Memorial Trophy. The ROC Nations' Cup was added in 1999 and now features teams of two drivers who compete for their count
