The annual year-ending (or opening) motorsport bash that is the Race of Champions is never short of close calls and photo finishes, but this one has to take the cake for a side-by-side battle. 

The video above features FOS star and 2009 F1 champion Jenson Button and 2015 NASCAR champ Kyle Busch giving the 420bhp/tonne VUHLs the absolute beans around the tight technical ROC Miami circuit. While Busch gets the better launch, Button’s smoothness and consistency allow him to edge into the lead. Lo and behold JB brings it home... just, with 0.045 of a second in it across the line!
