Indoor race wedstrijden met bekende coureurs zoals Schumacher, Vettel etc

The Race of Champions will take place on a specially-constructed tarmac track with its usual pair of winding parallel lanes in a venue boasting a capacity of more than 50,000 as well as a closable roof. 

In 2008 one of the event’s big attractions, a race between Lewis Hamilton and cycling champion Chris Hoy, had to be called off after the track was affected by the weather. 

Race organiser Fredrik Johnsson said: “After the successful events in the Bird’s Nest in Beijing and Wembley Stadium we received offers from top-class venues all over the globe. But after a long selection process Germany came out on top.

‘We had a very good experience in 1989 when we organised the second Race of Champions on the world’s first parallel track at the Nürburgring. That had an amazing response from the German fans so we felt it was time to take the ROC back there after all these years. 

“With Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel fighting it out in Düsseldorf’s covered and heated arena the atmosphere promises to be really hot – even at the end of November.”
