I’ll be driving against some of the best drivers in the world which will be a real honour for me. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity of taking part in something completely different. I’ve never done anything like this before!” <BR> <BR> The Michelin Race of Champions involves the best drivers from racing, rallying and motorbikes, coming together to represent their country. Racing drivers, rally stars and motorbike riders will race against their counterparts, in identical cars, making the competition as fair as possible. The ROC Nations Cup takes place on Saturday 29 November and is a precursor to the main event on Sunday 30 November, where nine teams from countries such as England, Finland and the USA will tussle for track supremacy. <BR> <BR> The fastest eight drivers from the ROC Nations Cup will go on to compete in the Michelin Race of Champions. A battle through four rounds, where competitors rally around a specially constructed circuit, and ultimately the champion of champions is decided.<BR> <BR> The welcome distraction offered by The Race of Champions will provide a brief period of relaxation for Smith, who recently tested for Nissan Dallara team, Zele Racing, and is set to test for two Champ Car teams in early December. <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
