Race of Champions is a lot of fun: construct a race track inside a stadium, add vehicles from buggies to rally cars and everything in between, scatter with top international racing drivers, and shake vigorously. What’s not to like?

It’s in Düsseldorf this weekend, which I’ll take as an excuse to wheel out a video I shot at the 2007 edition – the first of two at Wembley Stadium. Back then it all took place in one day, which made for a mighty good day out. It’s split over two days now, which seems a bit of a shame.

Anyway, this is a lap of Sebastien Buemi and Henning Solberg going head to head in Solution F Prototypes, with stadium commentary from Martin Haven.

There are, of course, far better videos knocking around. For example Race Of Champions For Dummies: Neil Cole going through all the cars at last year’s event in Beijing. With a bit of luck there will be more from him this year on his YouTube channel. Also probably worth keeping an eye out for are official ROC podcasts from BBC Radio Five Live F1′s very own David Croft.

Live coverage of the event is, inevitably, less easy to come by. For free, anyway. Motors TV will be broadcasting it, and it will also be streamed online. Despite that stream being via freecaster.tv, it’s not free – €4.99 is the asking price. It would have been nice to dip in and out of the live stream over the weekend if it was free. Ho hum.
