Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Kanaan join ROC bill

Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Kanaan have become the latest names to join the roster for January's Race of Champions event in Miami.

The South American IndyCar duo join rival Ryan Hunter-Reay, Sebastian Vettel, Kurt Busch, Petter Solberg, and Tom Kristensen at the event at Marlins Park stadium.

"I actually won my first international race in America in Miami, in the Barber Pro Series in 1994," Montoya said. "The Race of Champions is such a unique event, bringing together the top drivers from the main series around the world and from different generations.

"When I was racing in Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel was a young talent in Formula BMW, now he is a four-time world champion," added the former Williams and McLaren man. "We are all top drivers, all very competitive and with lots of respect for each other."

Tony Kanaan will be making his first appearance at the event for over 12 years, having last competed in 2004 in Paris.

"I absolutely loved when I raced at the Race Of Champions in France back in 2004 and I always wanted to do it again," said the Brazilian. "I live in Miami, so having the race here in my backyard is the perfect opportunity to be part of it and to race against the biggest names from motorsport around the world.

"I’m looking forward to seeing what ROC has put together for us to race at the Marlins Park. ROC is going to be a great addition to the roster of events hosted in Miami," he added.
