Wickens wins at ROC in Paris
Robert Wickens wins FBMW division at Race of Champions

PARIS, FRANCE  Cameron Motorsports lead driver Robert Wickens has won the 
Formula BMW division race at the Race of Champions, held this past 
weekend  in Paris, France.

The event featured 22 of the best race drivers in the world including four 
time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon, and current World Rally Champion 
Sebastien Loeb.

The invitational Formula BMW race featured four Formula BMW drivers 
representing the four regional series; Germany, UK, Asia and USA. The event 
was held at the Stade de France in Paris in front of more than 50,000 
spectators using the Race of Champions head-to-head format.

"It was incredible to get an invitation to this event," Wickens said before 
leaving for France. Wickens made the most of the trip, by first beating the 
Formula BMW Asian Champion, then defeating the UK Formula BMW champion in 
the final.

His win was a triple honour by not only coming home the champion but also 
meeting the milestone of the youngest competitor in the ROC followed by the 
first Canadian to compete in this prestigious event.

"I really wanted to make the most of this opportunity," Wickens said. "It 
was a great experience, and to be able to stop on top of the bridge and 
hear the crowd cheer was amazing."

Wickens returned to Canada on Monday, and will now leave for Bahrain, for 
the Formula BMW World Finals on Friday, which take place from Dec 13th to 
16th. "All of us at Cameron Motorsports are really proud of Robert," said 
Cameron Motorsports' Bob Cameron. "I have full confidence in his ability to 
bring home another championship from Bahrain.  The kid has true talent!"

Ecstatic from his victory Wickens stated "I am so amazed by what has taken 
place this weekend I would just like to thank BMW Motorsport for this 
opportunity and to Cameron Motorsports for their ongoing support and 
encouragement.  For more information on the Race of Champions, visit
