O/T Roc venue to Wembley next year.
For those peeps on here that travel to Paris for the Race of champions (and I know there are many) will not have to make the journey over/under the water for next year at least anyway.

As stated in other forums, would prefer it at the Millenium Stadium (though admittedly Wembley should have a larger area to work with!), as the whole atmosphere in Cardiff is so much better. Plus they are used to holding a variety of events and the added advantage of the roof is a bonus.
Mind you, its a big coop for the race of champions, getting to be one of the first motorsport series ina major stadiuM!"Before Stonehenge was 'Woodhenge' and 'Strawhenge', but a big bad wolf came and blew them down, and 3 little piggies were relocated to other projects"

It might be closer but I bet it ends up costing more to attend!
ROC was great this year, although I admit it would be good to get some English commentary (and proper toilets!)
Just sorting through my photos, here's one...

I meant in the new wembley, not in stadiums in general!
