There had been talk of British star Hamilton competing in Sunday's end-of-season showpiece at Wembley. Sadly, a long-standing sponsorship arrangement prevented the 22-year-old from taking on the likes of Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button, David Coulthard, Andy Priaulx and winner Mattias Ekstrom.

"Lewis has always said he wants to do it, and we certainly hope we can work something out so he can make it next year." said Fredrik Jonsson, one of the co-founders of an event.

He added: "I'm sure if Lewis had been involved then we would also have had a bigger crowd because he did a fantastic job this year, and he is so popular."

Jonsson is also hopeful of returning to Wembley next year.

"There is every chance we will come back," He added. "We are very happy with how it all went. Brent Council and Wembley Stadium were very helpful in the planning of this event.

"We had been hoping for a sell-out, but we sold more than 50,000 tickets, which is good.

"I don't know whether the fact two big football matches were moved to Sunday (Arsenal v Chelsea and Liverpool v Manchester United) maybe changed something.

"Obviously with it being just before Christmas there would have been a lot of people shopping, so that might have had an effect as well.

"We also had some issues with the tickets. A lot of them were sent out late, so we have to work on things for next year."
