Racee of Champions 2005

[Jungles]

I had completely forgotten this interesting event. For those who are not familiar, the ROC pits drivers from various disciplines of motorsport from around the world to compete against each other. There is the Race of Champions, which is an individual competition, and the Nations Cup, where countries (or a group of countries) are represented by their team of drivers.

Scandinavia won the Nation's Cup this year. Sebastian Loeb was crowned Champion of Champions.

Oversteer, anyone?

Strange how Loab managed to draw his own car (xara rally car) for every round

[Jungles]

Yes, that is quite strange.

Gronholm vs Loeb should have been in a Porsche or Renault.

Not so strange if you were watching it. The cars were used in rotation, therefore pure luck in what you got.

Last year Seb was up against Marcus and they each drove the Pug, then the Citroen WRCs. Seb beat Marcus in both types of car!
