Yay let's do stupid things to win a car
Kickin off at 1pm on Saturday afternoon...Singapore's MediaCorp Radio-Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge...it's really more of a physical and mental challenge than a 'race' challenge...each contestant places a palm on one of the six cars which he or she has been allocated...and has to hold onto for as long as possible...among the 138 contestants are 26 women...including a mother-of-one who is taking part for the first time...contestants are allowed a 5 minutes break every 6 hours...afterwhich they've to return to their designated spots...puttin up with more tropical heat...incessant rain...smell...fatigue...
The contestants are listeners of MediaCorps' three English stations - Perfect 10, Class 95 and Gold 90 FM and were picked via a lucky draw from a pool of 1,200 people...with the winner drivin home a brand new $90,000 (US$55,000) Subaru Impreza WRX (yes...cars in Singapore are really expensive)...geezz...what a bummer...
Cyclin to work this mornin...i'd decided to make a detour to the city to catch a glimpse of the contestants...remember it was Monday mornin when i got there...so the contestants in the followin pictures have been standin for almost 2 whole days...at the time the picture was taken at 8:10am...34 people remained...
At press time (10:25pm)...57 hours and 25 minutes after the competition has started...only 12 people remain...8 men and 4 women...
How vaguely excitin...
