As the world’s biggest motorsport stars gather at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on March 7-8, the FC2 and Supercar Lites models will take center stage.
In addition to former RallyX champions Johan Kristoffersson and Oliver Solberg, the FC2 and Supercar Lites cars have been selected to give some of the world’s best drivers the chance to compete for the ROC Nations Cup and Race of Champions titles.
FC2 and Supercar Lite at the Heart of the Action
The FC2 Rallycross car is a state-of-the-art machine designed for the intense duels of the Race of Champions. Equipped with four-wheel drive and 550 horsepower, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just over two seconds, delivering blistering speed that will push drivers’ reflexes to the limit.
Its smaller counterpart, the Supercar Lite is no less impressive. With 320 horsepower and four-wheel drive, it offers a technical and spectacular driving experience—perfectly suited to the unique ROC format. These two powerful machines will allow drivers to showcase their raw talent, with no mechanical advantage to level the playing field.
The drivers competing in this 33rd edition of the Race of Champions include some of the biggest names in motorsport, drawn from disciplines as diverse as Formula 1, Rally, Rallycross, NASCAR, Supercars, and rally raid.
