Heroes of Formula One racing Michael Schumacher, David Coulthard, and 2009 champion Jenson Button were among motorsport legends who competed at the Race Of Champions (ROC) on the evenings of November 2-4, in an event that was broadcast for free on the freecaster.tv service.

 

Some of the best racing drivers in the world went head-to-head over the three day event at Beijing’s Olympic stadium. Le Mans 24 Hour Race legend Tom Kristensen returned to the ROC to race against fellow champions from a variety of disciplines. Drivers from MotoGP, touring and rally car racing, motocross, Formula 1 and the punishing Dakar Rally desert race hurtled around a specially designed course.

This year’s event was faster than any previous ROC. Top speeds as high as 150 km/h around the winding 5.5 km track were clocked, thanks to the larger size of the Beijing arena.
