This September will see four lucky INFINITI prize-winners realise a lifelong dream when they get the chance to test drive a real Renault Sport Formula One team car. As the official technical partner to the Renault Sport Formula One team, INFINITI will put four skilled UAE drivers behind the wheel of a real F1 race car at the Paul Ricard circuit, host to the 2018 Formula One French Grand Prix, as part of its global Ultimate Test Drive campaign.
The Ultimate Test Drive is open to all new UAE customers who confirm, with deposits, their order of the all-new INFINITI QX50 between the 19th of July and the 19th of August. The winners – two customers of Dubai dealerships and two of Abu Dhabi ones – will be selected on the 20th of August.
During the unique experience – taking place from 3rd through the 5th of September – participants will receive one-on-one expert driving tuition from the Renault Sport Formula One Team. They will be prepared, both physically and mentally, in various race vehicles before they are cleared for the breathtaking experience – to get behind the wheel of an F1 car.
“There is nothing quite like the thrill of driving an actual Formula One car,” said Markus Leithe, Managing Director Middle East at INFINITI Motor Company. “As such, we are very excited to offer our new INFINITI QX50 customers the opportunity to get closer to the racing action than ever before.
“The all-new INFINITI QX50 was unveiled in the region earlier this month, and it fully embodies INFINITI’s unique premium character. With world-first technologies, stand-out design and the highly-innovative VC-Turbo engine, this car is one of the most exciting vehicles we’ve unveiled in the UAE in the past year. I encourage all INFINITI fans to make an early reservation for their QX50 and try their luck at winning the thrill of a lifetime.”
