Wickens to compete in Race of Champions
Robert Wickens will compete in Paris as part of ROC

HAMILTON, ONTARIO  November 17, 2005; Cameron Motorsports lead driver Robert Wickens has 
announced he has received an invitation to compete in Paris, France on Dec 
3, 2005 as part of the Race of Champions. "This is an unbelievable 
opportunity for me," Wickens said. "This is one of the biggest motorsport 
events in the world, and I can wait to get to Paris."

Only four drivers have been invited to compete in Paris, of which Wickens 
is not only the youngest, but also the only one from North America. Three 
drivers in this talented quartet of youngsters claimed their first major 
title in Formula racing this past season by winning one of the four 
regional Formula BMW series. Nicholas Huelkenberg (18) took the title in 
the German Formula BMW ADAC Championship, while Dean Smith (17) won the UK 
Championship and Salman Al Khalifa (23) took top honours in Asia. Wickens 
(16) was in contention for the Formula BMW USA title right up to the season 
final and proved the most consistent driver of the season.

Wickens will compete in a support event for the Nation's Cup Race of 
Champions in Formula BMW's that will be brought up from the FBMW Driver 
Training Center in Valencia, Spain.

"I must thank Formula BMW for this opportunity. It would be great just to 
see the event, but to get a chance to compete in a FBMW there is just 
awesome," Wickens said after receiving the invitation to compete.

"The Race of Champions is an excellent platform for Formula BMW," says BMW 
Motorsport Director Mario Theissen. "Four international Formula BMW talents 
will be representing their particular series in Paris. All four of them 
have another major appearance lined up for December: at the Formula BMW 
World Final in Bahrain they will be competing to win a Formula One test 
drive with the BMW Sauber F1 Team."
