Race of Champions: Team race

Our four budget cars and drivers fight it out on the Wembley track

Wembley has never seen anything like it. Not only has the pitch been turned into a racetrack for the international Race of Champions, but we’ve somehow persuaded the organisers to let us loose on the pristine Tarmac in our £1000 Challenge cars...

Our circuit race is round 3 of the evo Grand Challenge, where our four £1000 budget cars duke it out on track. The first two rounds of the competition were a safety-check, with points docked for any repairs deemed essential, followed by a rolling-road shootout.
