The premise is simple: using identical equipment and track, drivers can prove themselves based on talent alone. In 2007, the drivers compete in a series of knockout heats in their own division to determine their class champion. Then, in a shoot-out to determine who is the master of motorsport, the winners go head-to-head in a super final. The victor is awarded the title “The Champion of Champions”.
Drivers confirmed for 2007 include:
* Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher
* Formula One star Jenson Button
* Reigning World Touring Car Champion, Andy Priaulx
* Red Bull Racing’s David Coulthard
* Triple Champ Car Champion Sébastien Bourdais
* Seven-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen
* Former DTM Champion Mattias Ekström
* Reigning NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson
* Eight-time X-Games Champion Travis Pastrana
* Double World Rally Champion, Marcus Grönholm
* Renault F1’s Heikki Kovalainen
Track:
Wembley Stadium, London, England.
The celebrated stadium guarantees a spectacular, panoramic view of the entire track from all seats.
Construction of the approximately 1 km long parallel track calls for approximately 1,800 tonnes of asphalt, 2,200 tonnes of underlay and the erection of a 100-tonne cross-over bridge. It takes a team of 50 people five days to build and three days to dismantle.
The specially-designed track layout guarantees an impression of speed and power for drivers and spectators alike, plus plenty of side-by-side racing!
