ROC 2022 Race of Champions this weekend

[Fundoreen]

Vettel plus the little shumi and some other F1 stars go head to head somewhere. Maybe sweden.
Yes it all sounds good on paper. Will the assembled sky commentary teams continue to not know their arse from their elbow when it comes to covering whats going on?
I only remember one coherent event and that was in london over 10 years ago.

I'll watch. Couple of hours of fun.

Bottas is out of the Finland team, replaced my Emma Kimilainen (W Series) https://wtf1.com/post/bottas-is-out-of-roc-before-... along with Mika Hakkinen.

Anywhere to watch without Sky subs?

I looked this up ,they're racing on the frozen sea as Pitea is only 60 miles from Arctic Circle , mmm chilly .

Apparently there is a site that might provide links.

I cant link it here but if you think of "sport" and then have a "surge" of enthusiasm - and use google - then they normally have a working feed.

Sky aren't in any control of the feed, ROC run it themselves and broadcasters show that. They make an arse up if it every time it's on.

I wish that it was the way it was, Gran Canaria, largely rally based, proper track, loads of different cars and drivers, this stadium stuff if that is what it is really doesn't work that well.

This event COULD be great, but I think it has served its purpose really has it not?

Hate the Porsches on the ice, not what I would call exciting seeing world class drives resorting to driving like your granny driving to the shops.

Needs to go back to the days of the Austin Rover Rallysprint.
Stage rally in a Vitesse, auto test in a Metro and race in a Maestro. Or maybe a modern version

The Cayman GT4s did look the most tricky in those conditions, probably fighting understeer the whole time, and presumably no handbrake.
Caught a few out.

Quite entertaining really. Did Mick not lose a race?

Jimmie Johnson beat him.

Ah that's a shame. Still, some fun driving that looked on the day.. Not sure what the point of the Porkers were, apart from to show how easy it is for anyone to crash in snow/ice...

[LukeBrown66]

I would guess like the event the whole thing is a bidding war, the organisers will send invites to countless manufacturers to have their cars there, hence you get all kinds of daft stuff.

[FourWheelDrift]

Full long course today.

Chadwick beats Schumacher.

I think Jimmie Johnson is the best in the Porsche, yesterday he was unbeatable in it and today just turned a bad start and 2.5s deficit into a 3 second win against Mika Häkkinen.
