From press release
Newly crowned FIA World Rallycross Champion Petter Solberg will compete at the 2014 Race Of Champions in Barbados.
Solberg has dominated this year's inaugural championship with four victories, sealing the title last week with two rounds to spare.
The Norwegian also won the 2003 World Rally Championship so he has now secured his place in the driving elite by reaching the top of the world in two different fields of motor sport.
Such a blend of ability - coupled with his recent experience of the exciting all-action short-track racing that makes up rallycross - is sure to stand Solberg in good stead as he bids for more glory at the 2014 Race Of Champions.
Now Solberg joins a ROC line-up featuring stars from all over the world: nine-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Tom Kristensen, Formula 1's Romain Grosjean (the reigning ROC Champion of Champions), Australian V8 Supercar legend Jamie Whincup and this year's Indianapolis 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay have already signed up.
The rest of the ROC 2014 field will be announced in the run-up to December's event.
