	First look: Race of Champions - Xbox News at GameSpot
		Among them was the PS2 version of the racing game Race of Champions, and, despite being quite early (much earlier than alpha state, according to the Activision reps present), it was running quite smoothly and stably.
		The event on which the game is based--the Race of Champions--is an insane annual event that pits drivers from all racing disciplines--F1, Le Mans, Rally, and more--against one another in a huge race for supremacy.
		Race of Champions--which is still known by its working title--will be fully playable at E3, presumably for all three major platforms.

	Rally Fusion: Race of Champions (Xbox) Review at RewiredMind.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		ROC Challenge constitutes the game's main career mode, requiring you to complete a series of races to progress.
		Some of the races are against the clock, others feature a full field of racers, while some challenges are straightforward head to head duels, a bit like the tunnel race in Grease, except not rubbish.
		The game also removes the turn indicators from the Race Of Champions course, which means you have to get to know the track quite well before you can expect much success.

	IGN: Rally Fusion: Race of Champions Review
		Rally Fusion: Race of Champions puts a slight arcade spin on the sport of rally racing, and along with using the Race of Champions license, it broadens the breadth of race courses and challenges to give gamers a sometimes grueling but always well-rounded rally experience.
		Race of Champions consists of two races, the ROC -- in which eight races drive through a knockout tournament for the crown -- and Nations Cup -- a team-based knockout tournament involving two out-of-three heats.
		ROC Challenge is the game's core mode, as described above, and Custom Championship offers gamers the chance to create their own rally, rally cross and circuit championships.

		While it is one race and no it’s not part of any major circuit or anything, you can use any car that you have unlocked so far while playing on a number of tracks.
		This and the ROC Challenge are the big reason that a lot of people will keep coming back and playing over and over again, and will probably be a lot more popular than the actual event that the game is based on.

	Race of champions - Ultimatecarpage.com forums
		This switch from the Race of Champions' traditional Canary Islands venue will mark a symbolic return to the event's roots, for it is in Paris that the inaugural 'ROC' — brainchild of Fredrik Johnson President of event organiser IMP, and motor sport's most successful lady driver Michèle Mouton — was held in 1988.
		Since then, the Race of Champions has established itself as a not-to-miss fixture, bringing together stars not only from rallying, but also from the worlds of international car and bike racing, in two unique head-to-head knockout competitions in identical cars.
		The ROC Nations Cup is a gripping contest that opposes national teams of two in a bid to determine the 'World's Fastest Country'.

	8W - When? - 1983 Race of Champions
		With no non-championship races held in 1982, and the 1980 Spanish GP and 1981 South African GP having become non-points events more or less by accident, this 1983 race was pretty much a stand-alone event.
		For a short period of time, the British national racing scene blossomed with the advent of the Shellsport and Aurora series, incorporating former NC events such as the Gold Cup.
		That was the infamous driver's strike race in South Africa, and in the midst of it Patrick Tambay, subbing for the injured Marc Surer at Arrows, decided he had had enough of F1 politics for the time being and quit in disgust.

		Certainly an odd design choice as music during a race would have been preferred, especially given the Xbox's ability to rip music to the hard drive.

	AVault \| PC \| Rally Masters: Michelin Race of Champions Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The real-live annual Rally Masters Race of Champions began in 1988 and takes place in Gran Canaria; it now is a world famous event featuring well-known drivers racing identical cars side-by-side on a special looped figure eight track.
		The designs seems perfectly suited for tight head-to-head racing, not so narrow that you barely have room to move and not so wide that you could meander drunkenly from side to side without hitting a curb.
		As a result, there is never any sense of dull boredom here, and success requires that you stay on your toes offensively and defensively with respect to other drivers as well as careful attentiveness to the curvature of the tracks themselves.

		You can start with the Race of Champions Mode that includes three types of races (Class C, Class B and Class A) and another racing competition called Nations Cup (which also includes the same difficulty Class races).

		The only other sound that keep you company during the race is your co-pilot who shouts out directions such as “sharp left!” He’s also not afraid of letting you know how badly you drive and pointing out what a moron you are for smashing the car up like that.
