SEVEN-TIME Formula One champion Michael Schumacher and compatriot and reigning champion Sebastian Vettel will pair up to headline this year's Race of Champions in Bangkok.
The annual event features winners from various motorsport series racing in identical cars at the Rajamangala Stadium on December 15-16.
The event has been held in Duesseldorf, Germany, for the last two years before which it made its Asian debut at Beijing's 'Bird's Nest' Olympic Stadium.
Schumacher and Vettel have teamed up for Germany to win the "Race of Nations", which forms the first half of the event, for the last five years.
"I have never raced in Thailand before so this will be an interesting addition to my motor sport travels," Schumacher said. "Of course it means Team Germany won't have the home advantage of the past two years but Seb and I managed okay in London and Beijing so we hope it won't stop us from keeping up our run."
The German said racing in a stadium was sensational and a different experience for drivers.
