While F1 driver Romain Grosjean won the 2012 RoC ‘Champion of Champions’ title at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, five-time 500cc champion Mick Doohan defeated reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo in their race heat, but both were unable to beat the four wheel specialists, that included the likes of Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher and Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen.
Since Lorenzo was in Thailand he also did some promo activity for Yamaha by taking to the streets of Bangkok leading a procession of Thai Yamaha riders by riding a YZF-R1 and a Yamaha Mio 125i suprising local commuters.
He was also the guest of honour at a special Yamaha Thailand event, cracking open the champagne with not just Yamaha Thailand’s top management team but also Takaaki Kimura, Senior Managing Executive Officer of Yamaha Motor Co.
Ltd.
Jorge Lorenzo said, “It’s been a fantastic experience to be here in Thailand again.
The people are so friendly and warm; it is always a pleasure to be here.
I have really enjoyed the Race of Champions; the drivers are so talented and it’s a real challenge to try to keep up with them.
I would like to come back next time and maybe bring some motorbikes for them to try! I want to thank all my friends at Yamaha Thailand for making me feel so welcomed, I hope to come back and see them again next year.
