320 contestants vying for car in MediaCorp Radio Subaru WRX Challenge
They're at it again.
320 contestants are trying to outlast one another in a bid to win a brand new car in the MediaCorp Radio Subaru WRX Challenge.
It is a contest where you literally have a hand in winning the prize.
But there could be several factors that may conspire against you.
The hot weather, for one.
Also, the luck of the draw will decide your fate - more precisely, how your palm is placed on the car.
Ow Yong Teck Choon, a contestant, said: "The first time I gave up because it was actually quite a difficult position - the hand on the (car) window always kept sliding down. This time, I have to actually had to bend myself, so it was very uncomfortable."
After the first hour of the contest, a handful had already dropped out, with some aching muscles that needed medical attention.
But there are some Singaporeans who keep coming back, year after year, with something to prove.
40 contestants have taken part before and they all have their eyes on a $90,000 car.
But if a newbie walks away with the title, he or she will only get to drive away a cheaper $71,000 car.
"My brother is taking part.....I actually told him to wiggle his toes, not to faint," said Adeline Teo.
Besides fainting, contestants will also have to fight fatigue, sleep depravation, and perhaps, even carpel tunnel syndrome.
In the five years the contest has been held, the longest anyone has held his palm on the car was slightly over three days!
The contest is being held at Ngee Ann City. - CNA/ir -

The first thing to do if you win the car is to send it for immediate paintwork repair and polishing... hahahaha
