2005 Race of Champions
The 2005 Race of Champions took place on December 3 again at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

Changes from the past included a number of wild card drivers, the use of the Porsche 911 GT3 instead of the Ferrari 360 and the introduction of the Renault Mégane alongside the Citroën Xsara World Rally Car and now traditional "ROC Buggy" as competition cars.
The drivers that took part were:
