2027年车王争霸赛公布首批四位车手
车王争霸赛公布了其新西兰首站的首批四位车手，该赛事将于2027年1月9日至10日在惠灵顿的Hnry Stadium举行。
阵容由四届F1世界冠军塞巴斯蒂安·维特尔领衔，自2007年以来他仅缺席过两届车王争霸赛。这位德国车手曾与迈克尔·舒马赫搭档，在2007年至2012年连续六年赢得国家杯，并于2017年与帕斯卡尔·维尔莱茵搭档再次夺冠；他还在2015年伦敦的正赛中获胜。
“在悉尼车王争霸赛之前，我第一次快速访问了新西兰，被这个国家的美丽所震撼，所以我开玩笑地对组织者说，‘你们能不能把下一届车王争霸赛带到新西兰来？’”维特尔说。“我真的很期待在一月份于惠灵顿举行的车王争霸赛中与来自全球的众多其他冠军同场竞技，并有机会游览更多新西兰的地方。”
一位现役F1车手也已公布，那就是瓦尔特利·博塔斯；这位十次大奖赛冠军得主，目前效力于垫底的凯迪拉克车队，将第三次参加该赛事。
海登·帕顿，现代世界拉力车队的现代i20 N Rally1赛车
其他系列赛也将有代表参加，包括2025年Supercars冠军查兹·莫斯特，他在去年于澳大利亚举行的上一届车王争霸赛中完成了首秀，以及新西兰明星海登·帕顿，他曾一次赢得WRC分站冠军。
“看到世界上最具观赏性的赛车运动赛事之一首次来到新西兰，真是太棒了，”帕顿说。“新西兰目前在许多领域都处于赛车运动的黄金时代，我想不出比举办车王争霸赛更合适的庆祝方式了，它吸引了来自世界各地的众多大牌明星。
“对于新西兰赛车迷来说，这真是一个千载难逢的机会，可以近距离接触来自F1、WRC、场地赛和其他赛车形式的车手，他们将在新西兰最著名的体育场馆之一内驾驶同等赛车展开较量。由于诸多原因，这确实是一场历史性的赛事，我个人非常自豪能参与其中。”

F1 world champion among drivers for Race Of Champions’ first New Zealand event
The first four drivers for the 2027 ROC have been announced
The Race Of Champions has announced the first four drivers for its inaugural New Zealand event, taking place at Wellington’s Hnry Stadium on 9-10 January 2027.
The lineup will be spearheaded by four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel, who has taken part in all but two Race Of Champions events since 2007. The German won the Nations’ Cup six years in a row, from 2007 to 2012, alongside Michael Schumacher, and in 2017 with Pascal Wehrlein; he also triumphed in the main contest in London in 2015.
“Before ROC Sydney I went for a first quick visit to New Zealand and was blown away by the beauty of the country, so I told the organisers jokingly, ‘Can you please bring the next ROC to New Zealand?’,” Vettel said. “I am really looking forward to competing against so many other champions from across the globe at the Race Of Champions in Wellington in January, and getting a chance to visit more of New Zealand.”
A current F1 driver has also been announced in Valtteri Bottas; the 10-time grand prix winner, now racing for backmarker Cadillac, will take part in the event for just the third time.
Hayden Paddon, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1
Other series will also be represented with 2025 Supercars champion Chaz Mostert, who made his Race Of Champions debut last time out that same year in Australia, and New Zealand star Hayden Paddon, a one-time WRC rally winner.
“It’s amazing to see one of the world’s most spectacular motorsport events come to New Zealand for the first time ever,” Paddon said. “New Zealand is really in a golden age of motorsport at the moment across so many disciplines, and I can’t think of a more fitting celebration of this than hosting the Race Of Champions, that attracts so many of the biggest stars from all around the world.
“This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Kiwi motorsport fans to get up close and personal with drivers from F1, WRC, circuit and other motorsport forms, all battling it out in equal machinery inside one of New Zealand’s most famous sports stadiums. It’s really a historic event for so many reasons, and I’m personally incredibly proud to be a part of it.”
