This 'pick the winners' of the Race of Champions Nation's Cup competition is for the benefit of the mechanics fund, a trully worthy cause. The event, which looks like it's going to be AWESOME, is a multi-discipline racing event set in Paris on Saturday December 4th. It airs twice on HDNet on Saturday, in high definition.
Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Loeb, Jeff Gordon and Marcus Gronholm, with 12 other awesome drivers, will represent themselves in an Individual Competition, and their country in the Team Competition, driving Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge cars, ROC Cars and Citroen Xsara WRC & Peugeot 307 WRC rally cars.
Here's the thread with all of the event info.
Here's the official site for the Race of Champions, with all of the rules etc.

2. The winner gets 50% of the pot. The Mechanics Fund gets the remainder after PayPal fees are deducted. I will then take the money and give it to Sid, who will deduct his usual fees and expenses
3. Picks: You get to choose
two drivers for the Individual Competition, and
two teams for the Team Competition. The drivers you choose
may not be team mates, nor may they be on any of the teams you have chosen for the team competition. Your picks are due Saturday, December 4th, 10am Eastern Time. You may edit your picks up till then. If your entry is late, or if you edit your pick after that, you will have made a wonderful no-chance-to-win contribution to the mechanics fund.
4. Scoring: You will be awarded points based on standard F1 scoring for each of your picks in their respective competitions.
