The Race of Champions
14 December 2008

Start time: tbc

The battle to decide the world’s fastest motorsport star will take place at Wembley Stadium this December, when the 2008 Race Of Champions returns for its second successive year.

Almost 2,000 tonnes of tarmac will be used to create a purpose-built circuit for the event, which takes place on Sunday 14 December and allows Formula 1 racers to compete against rivals from the worlds of rallying, touring cars, NASCAR and even motorbike racing – all on equal terms, in identical cars, in front of a crowd of thousands.

And, with prices reduced from last year and a further 20% off adult tickets for those who book before 31 July, it now costs as little as £14.40 for a seat at the event. With a 50% discount off the standard price for children aged under 15, a family of four can now watch the event for less than £50.

After being narrowly beaten by DTM Champion Mattias Ekström in last year’s Race Of Champions final, seven-times Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher has thrown down the gauntlet to past and present motorsport stars having signed up to return and fight for the chance to be crowned “The Champion of Champions”.
