IndyCar star Ryan Hunter-Reay joins Race of Champions 2015 line-up
Indianapolis 500 winner and IndyCar champion Ryan Hunter-Reay has joined the line-up for this month's Race of Champions event in London
Hunter-Reay made his debut in the end-of-season showcase in 2012, after winning the IndyCar title, and the November 20-21 event at the Olympic Stadium will be his third-consecutive appearance.
The American joins a line-up including Formula 1 drivers Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Felipe Massa, Nico Hulkenberg and Romain Grosjean, double MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo and nine-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Tom Kristensen.
"It's great fun to go head-to-head with some of the best drivers from the top motorsport disciplines from around the world," Hunter-Reay said.
"It's a unique challenge to jump in and out of all the cars - when you get such a short amount of seat time in each.
"However, last year I won five out of my six races in the groups so I hope I'm starting to get the hang of it.
"Now I'll see if I can convert that into a good run through the knockout stages too.
"I'm proud to represent America, IndyCar and the Indy 500 in such a prestigious event and I look forward to hearing the noise of the crowds at London's former Olympic Stadium later this month."
