Ekström and Kristensen join 2009 ROC
The duo has represented Scandinavia in the event for the past four years, winning the ROC Nations Cup in 2005, when they defeated France, and then narrowly missing out on a double last year in the final against Team Germany’s Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. The pair is looking forward to November for the chance to exact revenge and seize back the ROC Nations Cup.
“We can’t wait to race against Michael and Sebastian again, as we were disappointed they got the better of us at Wembley. The Bird’s Nest is a fantastic place for this year’s event and a brilliant way for us to finish the season," said Ekström, who has scored consistently in DTM this year for Audi Sport Team Abt.
Kristensen is similarly excited by the prospect. “It’s a great event that I always enjoy being part of: fun, relaxed and professional. Racing with Mattias, we have a pretty good track record and I’m really looking forward to competing in Beijing for the first time."
