Race of Champions in Beijing Next Week



The Race of Champions comes to the Bird's Nest in Beijing China next week and this one will feature the top names from the world of Motorsports battling it out in a super special format for national and individual honors.

Representing Team USA will be Rally America champ Travis Pastrana and Formul Drift champ Tanner Foust. Last year, Foust knocked out current F1 champ Jenson Button in one of the rounds and we're pretty sure that Button will be looking for payback this year.

Other teams to look out for in the Nations Cup will be the Team Finland with Mikko Hirvonen and Marcus Gronholm and Team Germany featuring Michael Schumacher and rising F1 star Sebastian Vettel. One name absent from the rooster this year is last year's winner Sebastien Loeb. Not sure of the reason for this but maybe he just wanted to give someone else the chance to win this one.

I don't see why Foust and Pastrana aren't decent... Foust set a record at Pike's Peak this year and Pastrana is apparently a good rally driver. they seem pretty qualified to me.

they usually never show it live, and it is usually replayed either online or on HD Theater
