IndyCar's Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Kanaan have signed up to compete in 2017 edition of the Race of Champions, which is due to be held in Miami, Florida.
The Colombian and Brazilian both currently race in the IndyCar series and finished seventh and eighth respectively this season.
Kanaan has previously taken part in ROC when he partnered Felipe Massa in 2004. The pair made it through to the semi-finals of the competition before being knocked out by Team France, which consisted of Jean Alesi and Sebastien Loeb.
"I absolutely loved when I raced at the Race Of Champions in France back in 2004 and I always wanted to do it again," commented Kanaan.
"I live in Miami, so having the race here in my backyard is the perfect opportunity to be part of it and to race against the biggest names from motorsport around the world."
Montoya, who will make his debut, added: "I’m really looking forward to competing in my first Race Of Champions. It’s an event I’ve always wanted to do, and to be able to race here at home in Miami makes it even more special.
“The Race Of Champions is such a unique event, bringing together the top drivers from the main series around the world and from different generations.
"When I was racing in Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel was a young talent in Formula BMW, now he is a four-time World Champion…"
