From ROC
Newly-crowned FIA World Touring Car Champion Jose Maria ‘Pechito' Lopez has signed up to compete at the 2014 Race Of Champions, to be held at the Bushy Park Circuit in Barbados on December 13-14.
Lopez sealed the WTCC title with a dominant win in the first race at Japan's Suzuka circuit on Sunday. The result rounds off a dazzling year for the Argentine driver, who thus won the championship with three races to spare.
With a total of nine victories in 2014, that means he has prevailed over his world-famous Citroën teammates Yvan Muller and Sebastien Loeb, both Race Of Champions veterans.
Lopez will be part of a ROC line-up featuring stars from all over the world: nine-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Tom Kristensen, Romain Grosjean, Susie Wolff, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Kurt Busch, Jamie Whincup and Petter Solberg are already confirmed.
The rest of the ROC 2014 field will be announced in the run-up to December's event.
