??!
What? How??
I'm assuming that they're counting on the ultra curvy track taking away the advantage that Hamilton would have in a car, but it still seems kind of unbalanced. It will definitely be a race to watch!! Are they going to be streaming the race on their website?

well, if youthink about it, if it was on a curvy track, Hoy will have to do a lot less turning that Hamilton because he takes up a lot less space. he theoretically could maintain a higher average speed than hamilton might achieve. i think it's pretty rad. Race of Champions is usually limited to autosports, but i reckon since Hoy is a fucking national hero now, there's a lot more interest in his profession.

here's hoping he wins! Massa deserved the F1 championship anyway :P

Ah, good point good point. Yeah, I'm pretty excited to see how it will turn out. Lets just how there are no collisions during the race. I doubt Hoy will be racing on a bike with a roll cage :P

The circuit will apparently be very twisty and tight, and they're going to race on parallel tracks so there won't be any chance of collision. It'll be interesting to see who wins.

they look like they're about to make out. I'd be down with that.
