2014 Race of Champions

The 2014 Race of Champions was the fourth running of the GPVWC Race of Champions and was held on December 16th through to the 18th 2014.

Formats

The Team Event includes 32 drivers - selected from the 2014 season's top drivers - organized in pairs - comprising of the best available drivers from the Superleague, Supercup, Formula Challenge, World Sport Series, International Touring Cup and Masters Series. To guarantee a fair and balanced competition, the pairs are organised in inverted ranking orders, where possible, with the top ranked drivers pairing with the lower ranked drivers and vice versa.

The Individual Event followes a slightly different format taking 16 of the best available drivers from 2014; all chosen from the same categories as before. The drivers are then organised into four groups of 4 with care taken to base group selection on inverted ranking orders once again. All 4 drivers within a group face each other with the two drivers winning the most races advancing to a more standard knock-out format.

Knock-Out Format

Each 'match-up' will be comprised of a maximum of five, one 'full-lap' - twice over the line - races in a best-of-five format. This gives each driver in the pairing the opportunity to race both opponents. If a tie-break is required then the driver from each team with the least wins will go head to head to decide which team progresses to the next stage of the competition. For example;
