Male contestants vying for the WRX – will this year’s challenge breach 80 hours?
The MediaCorp Radio Subaru Impreza Challenge kicked off yesterday at the Ngee Ann City plaza. Those who paid a visit to Orchard road last night would have seen the large crowd gathered in front of Ngee Ann City, watching the eager contestants battle it out in a test of endurance and will power to win the brand new turbocharged Subaru Impreza WRX 2.5L with a manual transmission. This baby is worth $80,000.
The challenge is regional this time, with 360 Singaporean participants competing with 40 other contestants from nearby regions as well – Malaysia, Thailand, Hongkong and the Philippines.
The ladies want their own Subaru too!
This challenge has been a yearly event for the past 5 years. The longest time ever spent waiting to be the only one with their hands on the Subaru was last year’s female challenge, Sandra Yeow who spent 77 hours and 13 minutes with the car. Sandra Yeow’s husband is taking part this year, his fourth time competing in the challenge.
The shortest time was back in 2005 where Koh Meng Khoon and Lung Wen Jie spent 64 hours and 31 minutes with the car.
