Looks like it will be on Eurosport tonight.
Worth watching - the track was VERY slippery with damn patches and a car in practice that dumped oil all over the track. Made for exciting racing but prevented the Hamilton v's Hoy event
Good to see Crasher Coulthard doing well - he managed to crash most of the vehicles he drove including his F1 car into the barriers. Hamilton just drifted his sideways round the track with plenty of room
Damn cold though...

Fantastic event...and... the first car to drive on this years ROC track (pre Sunday big event) was a Viper, and yes it was very, very slippery!
Met WRC Michele Mouton, she gave me some tips on how to drive, flying Quattro style!
The tarmac they had been washing, trying to get rid of the slippery tar layer! Advantage new Skyline with traction control, and AWD.
Starting on the inside lane you drive straight into a tight s-bend.
As Graham says, one of the best ways was to drift around and avoid the solid concrete blocks!
Side pipes sounded good blasting under the bridge:
Air time was possible over the bridge, but you had to turn left on coming off the slope!
As the night went on it got colder, and no less slipery, but a lot of fun!

Driving the track wasn't far off driving on ice! It looks very narrow when between those concreat blocks from a drivers seat, it was very tight turns too, which made it not the best of tracks for a Viper, but fun. I couldn't get enough traction to get out of 2nd gear. The sound of the cars was cool, sort of echoing around the stadium.
Sebastien Loeb won, in the final against David Coulthard by 0.3 sec. Despite the cold there were over 46k spectators.
