Pascal Wehrlein to compete at the Race of Champions in London
2015 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters champion Pascal Wehrlein is to take place at the Race of Champions, taking place at the London Olympic Stadium on November 20-21.
The Mercedes AMG driver, who became the youngest ever DTM champion by clinching the title just one day before his 21st birthday, will participate at the annual event for the second year in succession. Back in 2014, Wehrlein reached the Grand Final, losing out to David Coulthard.
Pascal Wehrlein, who is a reserve driver for the Mercedes F1 Team, will pair up with Britain’s Jolyon Palmer for the Team Young Stars in the ROC Nations Cup. Palmer is the 2014 GP2 champion and has lined up a seat in the Lotus F1 team for next year.
The 2015 DTM champion is ambitious about his expectations for the ROC: “I’m really looking forward to coming back for my second Race of Champions. I enjoyed it so much last year in Barbados and I nearly made it all the way. Now I’ll try to win it this year after my fantastic season winning the DTM title.”
