Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The weekend's Race of Champions on November 27 and 28 will be broadcast on the web as a pay-per-view event visible at either the RoC website or via the Freecaster.tv service.

Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel and WRC winner Sébastien Loeb will be among drivers from F1, MotoGP, NASCAR, Le Mans 24hr and the X-Games gathering to compete in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Saturday's races are to decide the ROC Nations Cup. Drivers pair up before hurtling around a looping track laid down inside the Esprit Arena.

Set for Sunday is the Race of Champions, in which Loeb has the opportunity to take the Champion of Champions mantle on a fourth occasion, equalling fellow Frenchman Didier Auriol for all-time RoC victories.

His RoC rival Mattias Ekström will be absent, instead returning to Shanghai, venue of last year's event, to compete in the Deutche Tourenwagen Masters' season finale.

For €4.99, viewers are able to access both live and archive footage of the RoC with commentary from 7pm CET (6pm GMT) on Saturday evening and 1pm CET (12pm GMT) on Sunday afternoon.

Tickets to attend in person are from €31 to €402 ($42-$547 US) per day.
