In order to be the quickest on the circuit, Formula One drivers spend hours practicing their skills on the team’s simulator. It’s here where they can test their skills in a safe place, while reducing the cost of operation for the team. Although Formula One video games are fun, their simulators are far more advanced. So how would you like to have a go in an F1 simulator?
UBS, a Swiss global financial services company, will be giving one lucky Formula One fan and their three guests the chance of a lifetime. With the cooperation of the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team, one lucky fan and three of their friends will be invited to spend a day driving the Mercedes Formula One simulator in the team’s Brackley factory. Each lucky winner will receive driving tips from MAMGP’s simulator & race engineers, along with tutoring from either of the team’s race, test or simulator development drivers.
So how can you enter? If you have a valid Facebook or Twitter account and are a legal resident of the United Kingdom, you are eligible for the opportunity of a lifetime. To enter on Facebook, submit a photo on yourself and your three friends and post it in the comments section of this post. To enter on Twitter, submit a photo of yourself and your three friends, with a tweet that includes @UBSf1 and #UBSF1SuperFan. The contest closes at noon (GMT) on February 19.
The photo that demonstrates the most love of Formula One will be selected by James Allen, a motorsport journalist, and David Coulthard, a retired Formula One driver. The winner will be announced on February 29 on the UBS F1 Facebook and Twitter pages. The prize will take place nearly a month later, on March 23.
The winners are responsible for organizing their own travel to and from the factory and will be responsible for paying any fees associated with accepting the prize. Full contest rules can be found here.
