The Race of Champions was a non-championship Formula One motor race held at the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent, United Kingdom between 1967 and 1979, and again in 1983. It often attracted high quality entries from the Formula One World Championship. The first race was won by Dan Gurney. The last running of the event was the last non-championship Formula One race and was won by Keke Rosberg in a Williams-Cosworth in a tight battle with young American Danny Sullivan.
