race of champions

Post by thehookeup »

so someone told me about this show that aired quite awhile ago. In the show there was a kart, wrc, f1, nascar, indy drivers. they all competed in each others sport 5 or 6 different types of racing, to prove which type of driver was the overall best. subsequently the nascar driver came in dead last in all events, including his own ( thank god because i hate nascar more than anyone in the world), from what i have heard.

The problem is i cant find what network it was aired on, or what the show was called. i have been researching, and i found a event called race of champions. which puts drivers face to face on tarmac track. wrc f1 and every type of driver that you can think of face to face. but that only proves who the best on that tiny little track. So i know that isnt the show that im looking for.

Does anybody know what im talking about or have a idea of what this show might be called?

Also..if this show didnt actually air or exist. do you think this would be a great competition

Race of Champions. Held every year. Jeff Gordon and some other NASCAR dudes won the Nation Cup a few years ago.

They divide it into coutries with different drivers from each and from different diciplines so there's a country team winner and an individual winner. Last year, Loeb was the overall winner, and the Nascar dudes won the country division or whatever a few years ago (maybe 2003 or something), but someone else won overall (probably an F1 or WRC guy, I don't really remember).
