Race of Champions 2006
Narednog vikenda imacemo priliku da gledamo jos jedno izdanje Race of Champion, popularnijeg kao ROC. Na Stade de France u Parizu okupice se krem svetskog auto-moto sporta i okusati se u direktnim okrsajima 1-na-1.
Vozaci ce se takmiciti u dve "discipline", Race of Champions ( za naslov najboljeg medju najboljima ) i Nations Cup ( ime sve govori ). Iako mnogi tvrde da je ROC izgubio svoj sarm od kada se doselio u Pariz, ipak je to jedina prilika da se na jednom mestu nadju vozaci iz razlicitih grana sporta. Ove godine na raspolaganju su im Citroen Xsara WRC, Porsche 911 GT3, Renault Megane Trophy, ROC Buggi, i po prvi put Aston Martin V8 GT Rally. Lista prijavljenih izgleda ovako, mada koliko nam je poznato gost iz NASCAR sampionata Jimmie Johnson je otkazao ucesce zbog povrede ruke na golfu.
