The stadium, one of the settings for football’s 2006 World Cup, will be the second successive German venue to host ROC following last year’s event at Düsseldorf’s ESPRIT arena.
Home heroes Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel have become the first drivers to sign up as they bid to win the ROC Nations Cup for a record 5th year in a row.
German motor racing superstars Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel are celebrating again at the news that the Race Of Champions will return to their home soil in 2011 at Frankfurt’s Commerzbank-Arena.
The annual end-of-season competition brings together the world’s greatest drivers from all motor sport’s disciplines – including Formula 1, world rally, touring cars, Le Mans and NASCAR – and sets them free to battle head-to-head in identical machinery. Drivers pair up for the ROC Nations Cup, this year scheduled for Saturday 3 December, before the individual Race Of Champions takes place on Sunday 4 December.
In recent years the Race Of Champions has visited the Stade de France in Paris (2004-2006), London’s Wembley Stadium (2007-2008), Beijing’s ‘Bird’s Nest’ Olympic Stadium (2009) and Düsseldorf’s ESPRIT arena (2010). Now ROC 2011 will return to Germany and the city of Frankfurt, to the delight of the pairing that has all but made the ROC Nations Cup its own.
So, fellow travellers - who is up for it or need I ask?
Jah! Had a look at flights earlier £120 from Manchester with Lufthansa.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a return to the Fatherland.
£153 from Geordieland, but that's with a proper airline who don't abandon you at the first sign of trouble. Bargain
ReplyDeleteSo, are we brave enough to book the flights now?
