Rupert said about this weekend’s event: “I'm a massive motorsports fan and can't wait until this weekend when the The Race of Champions comes to town. It's a wicked opportunity to see all the world's best drivers under one roof and at Wembley too - I'm sure it's going to be amazing!”

Now in its twentieth year, the premise of The Race of Champions is simple: using identical equipment and track, 16 champions from varied motorsport disciplines can prove themselves based on talent alone. The crowd will have a great unhindered view of the entire track as the best drivers in the world, including stars from World Rally and NASCAR, fight it out to become the ultimate Champion of Champions.

Organiser and co-founder Fredrik Johnsson said: "After years of hard planning and meticulous organisation The Race of Champions has finally arrived in London and it will be a truly amazing day for everyone that attends.

"With tens of thousands of people packing out Wembley Stadium, together with the smell of burning rubber and the roar of engines, the atmosphere will be electric! Tickets have been snapped-up since they went on sale, however there is still a limited few available."

When asked who he thinks will win the trophy Fredrik said: "It's a close call, I wouldn’t like to say! The drivers have all flown in and are all gearing up to take the title – they are all incredible relaxed and looking forward to a fun weekend.  But as soon as they get behind the wheel the fun stops and the racing starts - you wouldn’t believe how competitive they are! They all want to win!"
