The 2014 Race of Champions was the 26th running of the event, and took place over 13–14 December 2014 at Bushy Park circuit in Barbados . The Nations' Cup was won by the Nordic team of Tom Kristensen and Petter Solberg , while the individual contest was won by David Coulthard , who beat Pascal Wehrlein 2–0 in the final. Barbados won the inaugural ROC Caribbean competition.
Participants
The reigning Champion of Champions, Romain Grosjean , was invited to take part, along with the last edition's defeated finalist, nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen . Grosjean was the only active Formula One race driver to take part, although Williams test driver Susie Wolff , GP2 champion Jolyon Palmer , Mercedes test driver Pascal Wehrlein and European F3 champion Esteban Ocon all had experience of Formula One machinery, while David Coulthard was a 13-time Grand Prix winner.
Other champions participating included José María López (WTCC ), Ryan Hunter-Reay (IndyCar ), Jamie Whincup (V8 Supercars ), Petter Solberg (WRC and World Rallycross ), Kurt Busch (NASCAR ) and Mick Doohan (MotoGP ).
López, Ocon, Wolff, Busch, Palmer and Wehrlein all made their Race of Champions debuts, along with the eight ROC Caribbean drivers, while Solberg and Robby Gordon both returned after lengthy absences.
For the first time since the inception of the Nations' Cup event in 1999 , there was no German team, Wehrlein the sole German representative in attendance. This means that there was guaranteed to be a non-German winning team for the first time since 2006 . The French, United States and Nordic (as Scandinavia) teams were the only former victors participating, while Argentina and Barbados gained representation for the first time.
