Team Germany’s Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel sent the home crowds into delirium by winning their fifth consecutive ROC Nations Cup title in Düsseldorf.
Legends from all aspects of motorsport did battle for national pride in the ROC Nations Cup behind the wheel of vehicles including the Audi R8 LMS, Skoda Fabia Super 2000 and KTM X-Bow, on a purpose-built parallel track at the ESPRIT arena.
After a thrilling contest featuring the world’s top motorsport stars, Schumacher and Vettel prevailed in the final against Team Nordic’s Tom Kristensen and Juho Hänninen. The result means Team Germany extended their record of ROC Nations Cup titles to five.
But the two F1 world champions didn’t have things all their own way. Indeed, Team Germany only just made it past Team Great Britain (Jenson Button and Andy Priaulx) in the semi-finals after Button – conqueror of Schumacher in the first heat – spun out of the best-of-three decider against Vettel.
Team Nordic defeated Team France (Sébastien Ogier and Romain Grosjean) by two heats to nil in the first semi-final.
