From ROC press office
Team France will have a strong line-up at the 2012 Race Of Champions as reigning ROC ‘Champion of Champions' Sébastien Ogier returns to defend his title alongside Lotus Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean.
The French duo will team up for their home country at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium in the ROC Nations Cup on December 15 before competing for individual glory in the Race Of Champions on December 16.
Ogier has already climbed that summit, having fended off all comers to win the Race Of Champions on his ROC debut last year.
Grosjean made his Race Of Champions debut last year too, reaching the semi-final of the ROC Nations Cup alongside Ogier for Team France.
The Race Of Champions, which is being staged for the 25th consecutive year in 2012, brings together the world's greatest drivers from motor sport's main disciplines - including Formula 1, world rally, touring cars, Le Mans, MotoGP, IndyCar and the X-Games - and sets them free to battle head-to-head in identical machinery.
