Hanninen and Kopecky join RoC

IRC Skoda works drivers Jan Kopecky and Juho Hanninen are the latest names to be confirmed for this year's Race of Champions. Kopecky, who has finished runner-up in the past three IRC seasons, will join Russia's Vitaly Petrov at Team Slavic, the first ever RoC partnership from Eastern Europe. Hanninen, this year's WRC S2000 champion, will team up with Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen for Team Nordic as Sweden's Mattias Ekstrom has a clash of commitments on Saturday.
