Welcome to the Race Of Champions Charity eBay Auction

Bid on exclusive artwork and other motorsport memorabilia in aid of charity

March 23 - April 2
 

Three signed art pieces by motor racing greats Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and David Coulthard are now available for auction. The Formula 1 superstars created the works by spinning the rear wheels of their F1 cars at recent Race Of Champions world finals. Vettel turned Van Gogh days after his first world championship in 2010 while the two British drivers took to the canvas in 2008 after Hamilton’s title win and Coulthard’s retirement from F1. The Hamilton and Coulthard pieces have also been painted by Brazil’s artist Romero Britto.

All proceeds from the auction will go to the Race Of Champions' favoured charity ICM (the Institute for advanced research on brain and spinal cord disorders) plus the Britto Foundation and other causes chosen by the drivers such as Wings For Life.

About the Race of Champions

The Race Of Champions is a knockout tournament where the world’s greatest drivers battle to prove they’re the fastest on Earth.

Through a series of head-to-head races in identical cars on a parallel track, the stars fight it out to prove they have what it takes to be crowned ‘Champion of Champions’.

Cars are swapped round between heats to ensure all drivers have to prove themselves in a variety of machinery. But the format of the Race Of Champions was changed in 2009 to maximize entertainment value for fans, ensuring they saw more action than ever before from every driver.

As ever, drivers competed in head-to-head heats in identical cars, with each heat held over two full laps of the parallel track. But instead of a knockout system from the start, the event began with a group stage, where each driver faced each of the others in their group. Those with the most wins moved on to the quarter-finals.

From there it’s back to a head-to-head, no second chances, knockout competition to get to the semi-finals and then the Grand Final. Just as with all the world’s great cup competitions, the tension builds all the way through to this best-of-three shootout where there can be only one ‘Champion of Champions’.
