Andy Priaulx and Jose Maria Lopez complete Race Of Champions entry
World Touring Car champions Jose Maria Lopez and Andy Priaulx have completed the field for the 2015 Race Of Champions in London next week
Lopez clinched his second straight WTCC title with Citroen last month, while Priaulx followed up his 2004 European crown with a hat-trick of world championships from 2005-07 and is now a British Touring Car Championship frontrunner.
Priaulx will pair up with fellow BTCC racer Jason Plato in one of the 2015 ROC's two Team England line-ups.
The duo reached the Nations Cup final together in 2010, with Priaulx having done likewise alongside Jenson Button a year earlier.
"What a great way to end a busy season - joining all my fellow champions in a fun head-to-head battle," said Priaulx.
"Same cars, same track: it will be an epic challenge. I love this event."
Lopez is teaming up with 2012 IndyCar champion Ryan Hunter-Reay to form Team Americas.
"This has been another great year for me and this invitation to the Race Of Champions is the perfect way to cap it off," he said.
The ROC entry also includes F1 drivers Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Romain Grosjean, Nico Hulkenberg, Felipe Massa and Button, last year's winner David Coulthard, MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo and Formula E champion Nelson Piquet Jr.
The event takes place at London's former Olympic Stadium next week, with the Nations Cup element on Friday evening and the individual competition on Saturday.
