The 27th running of the Race of Champions will be held at the Olympic Stadium in London from Nov 20-21.

The annual competition consists of multiple drivers who race heads-up, two at a time, in identical cars on the same circuit in order to crown an individual Champion of Champions, and the winner of the Nations Cup.

In 2014, David Coulthard won the individual contest, while the Nordic team took the Nations Cup, ending a six-year-long winning streak for Germany.
