“For me it is all about the show and the Race Of Champions really is one of the greatest motorsport shows on earth,” he said.
“I have had a long and successful relationship with Fredrik [Johnsson, co-founder of the Race of Champions] and his team and have been performing at every single ROC event since my first in Stade de France in Paris in 2004.
“I am very excited to be invited to Australia for the first ROC in the Southern Hemisphere.
“I am trying to convince one of my motorcycle stunt riding friends to join me for ROC Sydney to make the show even more spectacular,” he added.
“I am also looking at what world record we can break at ROC Sydney and how we can get some of the race drivers and fans to be part of the world record attempt.
“From my last performance in Sydney with Top Gear Live, I know the Australian fans are so passionate about their racing and up for almost anything down there.”
