RoC chasing Hamilton?

The new Wembley stadium in London will host its second Race of Champions in as many years on December 14, the organisers have confirmed.

The RoC concept, which sees racers from various motorsport disciplines going head-to-head in a variety of cars, has proved successful at attracting big names over the past few years.

Michael Schumacher is effectively a regular (and confirmed for 2008) as is WRC god Sebastien Loeb and eight-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen.

However, there are three big names from F1 who have never competed at the Race of Champions: Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Robert Kubica.

We've done some digging around and although the organisers wouldn't admit it, we understand all three have an open invitation to this year's event.

Hands up who wants to see Lewis take on Schumi in identical cars?

Read Jason Barlow's blog from last year's RoC at Wembley.
