Me and Beckie are off to the Race of Champions this weekend, we are heading down to london on the train on saturday and staying in the Copthorn Tara hotel on Saturday and Sunday night. The driver lineup hasnt yet been filled but today ROC organisers announced the replacement for Team Australia’s Mark Webber who has a broken leg will be current British F3 champion Jamie Alguersuari. You may be thinking, that is a perculior name for an Australian, well it is and he isnt, though he will be in Team Australia he is actually Spanish.
Another addition to the lineup is Jason Plato who I am very happy about. Strangely though, rather than partnering him with David Coulthard who currenly doesnt have a team mate, he is in Team Jason Plato so there is now an extra place available in the lineup as his team mate. I am wondering though if he will probably end up partnering David Couthard, I have a feeling the reason for that is that ROC organisers are still trying to persuade Lewis Hamilton to compete and have brought JP in as a backup.
My prediction for the win is Michael Schumacher, he has probably had enough of coming second to Mattius Ekstrom and will be determined to win this year. And for the Nations Cup I will put my money on Team France, Sebastian Loeb and Yvan Muller is a very strong combination.
Photos will folow when I return …
