The end-of-season rallysprint will move back to Paris this year and will take place in the Stade de France for the first time. The track, specially constructed for the occasion, will be a figure of eight covering a kilometre.
The original, 1988 event was held on the outskirts of the French capital at Montlhery. This year’s event is on December 4.

Another update: David Coulthard will be joining M Schumacher, newly crowned WRC champion Seb Loeb, Marcus Gronholm, Colin McRae, and Jeff Gordon in the Race of Champions still scheduled for December in France.
Man, I hope that Speed plans to cover the Michelin Race of Champions. It's listed as a category on their programming page but no date or time listed as of yet.

Michelin Race of Champions
The Race of Champions was originally conceived as the ultimate shoot-out between the best international rally stars. It remains the only event to allow drivers to race head-to-head heats in exactly the same cars and on a parallel-track. The premise is simple: using identical equipment and track, drivers can prove themselves based on their talent alone.

I caught the end of this last night. It was fun to watch, other the the international compeition ended up decided by a dead batterey in a Ferrari rather than driver. I think for such a short event, they should have fixed the Ferrari and run the final over. But real races are not run that way.. so I guess that's just racing. It was fun to watch though.
