MediaCorp Subaru Car Challenge - Day 1 (31st Oct)

Previous post on the MediaCorp Subaru Car Challenge is a brief post as i promised Mr Chong, 2011 winner that i will write a post about it. But it was not a paid post, i did not get any benefits from it.

(1) Real Gunner was asking what event is that.  It's where the participants will place their right palm on the car and whoever had his/her palm longest on the car will walk away with a Subaru Car (including COE), previous years no COE, only started this year, the COE, in addition with S$5,000 worth of free fuel from Shell.

Total, there are 400 participants, 320 from Singapore, 80 from across the regional, 10 each from Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

They will be given a 5 minutes break every 6 hours.  The events kicks off on 31st October at 1pm. 

(2) This year, there's a tent as compare to previous year, whether rain or shine, they have to endure it.  As from what i understand, they decided to have it inside the tent due to the unpredictable haze, 

(3) The participant will pick a ping pong ball, if the ping pong ball has a number for the palm positions in the car, they will register at the counter. 

(4) The participant will keep their belonging in a zip lock bag, and it will be return to them once they are out from the challenge.
