The Race Of Champions has announced the first four drivers for its inaugural New Zealand event, taking place at Wellington’s Hnry Stadium on 9-10 January 2027.
The lineup will be spearheaded by four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel, who has taken part in all but two Race Of Champions events since 2007. The German won the Nations’ Cup six years in a row, from 2007 to 2012, alongside Michael Schumacher, and in 2017 with Pascal Wehrlein; he also triumphed in the main contest in London in 2015.
