“The Race of Champions has meant a lot to me over the years. I am looking forward to showing my car to the European public, as we usually only drive in the desert in Saudi Arabia and Morocco.”
Matias Ekstrom, Russia’s semi-finalist 2022.

“The track is faster than last year and all the drivers are driving identical cars, so only the driver’s skill determines the winner,” says Johansson.
Frederick Johnson, CEO, Race of Champions.

“I definitely want to do better than last year. Snow and ice aren’t really our world, so there’s a lot that’s new.”
Jamie Chadwick, one of the fastest racing women in the world.

“It’s an event I’ve followed throughout my childhood, to this day, and I was there once at Wembley with my dad a few years ago.”
