TAG Heuer presented watches to the top race car drivers at the Race Of Champions - Nations Cup 2008, held at London's Wembley Stadium on December 14th.  Within the racing world, the ROC is a unique event, placing top talent from various racing disciplines--among them F1, World Rally, Nascar and Touring--in direct competition with one another.  TAG Heuer has been a partner of the Race Of Champions since 2004.  

Michael Schumacher, legendary seven-time Formula 1 Champion, and TAG-Heuer brand ambassador Sebastian Vettel won the Nations Cup for the German team, besting Mattias Ekstrom and Tom Kristensen of Denmark.  Both teams received TAG Heuer F1 Chronograph watches from Antoine Pin, Managing Director of LVMH Watch and Jewellery for the United Kingdomm.  

Sebastian Loeb, a five-time world rally champion pulled ahead of David Coulthard of the United Kingdom in a best of three final race.  Both men were presented with TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Chronographs.

Britain's Andy Preaulx, a three-time FIA World Touring Car Champion, set the event's fastest lap time of 1:48:5699.  In a symbolic tribute to his mastery over split-seconds, Preaulx was given a TAG Heuer SLR Calibre S Laptimer watch.

"The Race of Champions - Nations Cup is a superlative showcase not only of TAG Heuer’s matchless timekeeping prowess, but also its long standing rank as the number one watch brand in motor sports," said Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO and President of TAG Heuer.  "Two years ago, we set a new world record at this internationally renowned event by precisely clocking an astonishing 2/10,000th of a second gap between first-place Mattias Ekstrom of Sweden and second-place Heikki Kovalainen of Finland in the semi-final.  This year, we broadened our participation both on and off the track to make the event even more exciting."
