Etisalat’s unique opportunity for motorsport fans to win a live racing experience is up for grabs for the second year. The first race was recently held at the Dubai Autodrome where nearly 70 customers experienced live racing thrills in the superfast Etisalat F1x3 car, an original F1 racing car with three seats, especially designed to provide the ultimate racing experience on the tracks.
Etisalat’s F1x3 car racing promotion is running alongside the current Formula One racing excitement and will entitle lucky customers the chance to race in the specially designed F1x3 car at the Dubai Autodrome on October 29 and 30, with a professional race driver.
Customers can avail raffle draw entries by simply sending a text message 'F1x3', to 1110, to get one draw entry and one week race alerts for free. Customers can call 800 PROMO for more information on the promotion.
Haitham Al Kharusi, Vice-President of Marketing Communication, Etisalat said on the occasion, “Etisalat’s innovative F1x3 promotion is back after receiving an overwhelming response last year. The first recent trial for customers has generated tremendous excitement and it is bound to provide a larger-than-life experience to the winners who have the chance to feel the pulse and excitement of racing, up, close and real.
“The Formula 1 fever has set in and the draw dates for the F1x3 race at the Dubai Autodrome are not too far away either. Keeping pace with the Formula 1 excitement, we want to give our customers a chance that we are confident they will remember for a lifetime.”
The F1x3 car will be displayed at the upcoming GITEX Shopper 2010 from October 16-23, where motor enthusiasts can get a first hand feel of the car. Etisalat has bought exclusive rights, through October, to the F1x3 car especially designed to accommodate three passengers at a time.
The car specifications are similar to a real racing car, including the engine capacity, acceleration, maximum speed as well as the look and feel. The car is capable to hit speeds of around 300 km/hr and accelerations from 0 to 200 in 4.8 seconds.
The race features a completely controlled and safe drive by professionals experience in international championships, enabling them to hit extraordinary speeds in the safest way possible. Passengers will be equipped with FIA homologated overall, boots, gloves and helmet and medical units will be operational at the track.
To be eligible for participation to claim the prize thereof, customers must match the physical criteria: height not exceeding 1.9 metres and weight not exceeding 100kg. As a safety measure, participants who are below age limit are required to submit a parental authorisation for the ride and will need to be accompanied by a parent of a legal tutor.
