In less than 48 hours motorsport fans attending Wembley Stadium will witness sixteen of the world’s finest drivers battle it out in The Race of Champions to see one driver crowned the Champion of Champions.

Wembley Stadium has now been transformed into a spectacular custom-built tarmac race track and will host a star-studded line up of drivers, including seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher as well as Formula One favourites, Jenson Button, David Coulthard and Heikki Kovalainen, for this dynamic knock-out competition.

It is not just the stars on the track who are getting excited about the event, celebrities including Harry Potter co-star and Formula One fanatic Rupert Grint will also join the crowd in a packed-out Wembley Staduim. Rupert said about this weekend’s event: “I'm a massive motorsports fan and can't wait until this weekend when the The Race of Champions comes to town. It's a wicked opportunity to see all the world's best drivers under one roof and at Wembley too - I'm sure it's going to be amazing!”

The ROC Nations Cup aims to determine the fastest country in the world, with two drivers from each pitted against each other in identical cars. This year The Race of Champions is being held at Wembley Stadium, London, England, and the famous landmark has been transformed into a stunning parallel track, using 1,800 tonnes of tarmac, for the unique event this Sunday.

“I’ve raced The ROC before and did OK,” said Johnson, who won The ROC Nations Cup in 2002 and is hoping his home fans will tune in to the live race coverage at www.raceofchampions.com/live on Sunday (16 December) from 14:00 GMT (09:00 Eastern USA). “My team-mate, Travis Pastrana, was the unexpected success of the event last year, almost winning the whole thing single-handedly after I pulled out with an injury. That’s got to give us the edge this year!”

The draw for The ROC Nations Cup was made at Wembley Stadium yesterday, with the individual category being saved for a face-to-face draw at the official press conference tomorrow (15 December).
