Race of Champions, Wembley 16th Dec

[Gobber]

Couldn't see this referred to anywere on the forums, but I wondered whether anyone was considering going to this, or had been to last years? Looking at the video on http://www.raceofchampions.com it had a phenominal crowd and could well be awesome!

Hopefully I'll have something else on.

If you like superspecials, then it'll be fun. But I don't and wouldn't sit through hours and hours of them. Someone would have to keep me awake.

I went to the first one at Stade De France so I will be at Wembley as well. After all it is only a few miles from my house :)

It should move back to Gran Canaria where the drivers have to do some real driving,there's no room for drivers to throw the cars about in a stadium when there is 2 tracks,i think i watched 5mins of last year coverage and it bored me to tears

This has nothing to do with rally!
Same as the most Superspecials these day´s! :down:

Interesting and a good point about the tracks not leaving much room to move. I suppose it's like most things, if there's a full stadium anything can be enjoyable (I even almost enjoyed a Big Country concert in my youth because it was packed!), but do you think they will get a crowd of 70,000+ to it? There'd be nothing worse than a half filled stadium.

i really have lost intrest since they introduced the ROC to tarmac and stadiums,i used to be a big fan the last time i went to one was in Gran Canaria and the first time it was in stade de france i watched on tv as i couldnt get to france for it,im glad i didnt spend the money as it wasnt exciting when compared to the Gran Canaria ROC's

[WRC2006]

I think I will be there!!!!

What a stupid argument. It's not about rallying so to speak. It's drivers from different sports getting together and competing in an event that gives them all a good chance of being competitive. F1 fans probably argue it's too much like rallying and rally fans argue it's too much like racing. It's just a fun event and it's not forcing you to kill your young children or go out and commit mass murder so what's the deal????

Was on Stade de france 2005 and that was really fun.
For sure im going to Wembley 2007.

[Christina]

I will hopefully be going, it sounds like a fun event! i have friends who made an annual homage to the stade de france every year for the ROC, now they're glad they dont have to face the eurostar!

I'l be there with 9 of my friends from Finland and Sweden, as I've been to the last three events in Paris, but I'd rather it wasn't in London :( As no doubt we will be screwed over to pay a fortune for entry into the "glorious" over rated over costing Wembley Stadium......
