2008 is set to be the best ROC event ever. The event will be held at London's Wembley Stadium for the second year in a row.
The drivers signed up for 2008 are;
Team Germany
Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel for Team Germany. With both drivers competing last year, and winning the Nations Cup for Germany, its no wonder they have plumped for the same drivers this year. Vettel had his maiden win at Monza this year and has already been likened as a Mini-Schumacher, and everyone knows a team with two Schumachers (as long as its not Ralf) would trounce the competition.
Team F1 Racing Great Britain
David Coulthard is so far the only confirmed driver for Team F1, which means there is a remaining seat for someone. Could it possible be Lewis Hamilton? It would make sense, a newly crowned British F1 champion partnering an experienced British (should-of-been-champion), makes the perfect team. Look out for issue three when we will reveal all.
Team Autosport Great Britain
Great Britain has two teams this year, because the host nation gets that privilege, much like France had two teams when it was held at the Stade De France. Jenson Button and Andy Priaulx make up Team GB Autosport.
Team Australia
Team Oz was confirmed as Mark Webber and Troy Bayliss, but due to an unfortunate car vs bike accident and Mark Webber suffering a broken leg, Team Oz are desperately looking for a replacement. We will reveal the new partner to Troy Bayliss soon.
Team France
The French team will consist of Sebastien Loeb and Yvan Muller. A very strong team considering Loeb has won the singles and nations event. Yvan Muller will take his place as Loeb's partner in his second ROC outing.
Team Scandinavia
The Scandinavian team's chances will be fought out by Tom Kristensen and Mattias Ekstrom, the most experienced team at the ROC. With three wins between them, including a win in the Nations cup in 2005 when the duo teamed up.
Team USA
The United States of Americas hopes will be fought by NASCAR driver Carl Edwards and Motocross champion Travis Pastrana. Travis is a veteran at the ROC, with 2008 being his fourth appearance, whilst Carl Edwards will be a newcomer.
