Williams test and development driver Susie Wolff will compete in the 2013 Race of Champions.

Wolff will take on champions across several motorsport disciplines including seven times Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher, World Rally Champion Sebastian Ogier and Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen.“Any driver would love to be invited to do the Race of Champions,”Wolff told formula1.com

“It’s an event I have watched as far back as I can remember. What is so exciting is that the cars race head-to-head and you can see how close it is: it always comes down to hundredths. Jumping in and out of the different cars is going to be the real challenge. You need to make sure your car control is as good as it can be because you don’t have time to get a proper feeling for the car, you just get in and go.“Then there’s the ROC Nations Cup, where I certainly feel responsibility to make sure we do well as a nation. I know David [Coulthard] from our time in DTM and I rate him really highly so to be part of the team alongside him makes me very proud. Of course we’ll be up against drivers who are absolutely at the top of their game. So I know it’s not going to be easy but I’m relishing the challenge.”

Wolff is the first female driver to be invited to the event which takes place on the December 14th and 15th at Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium in Thailand.
