Shell Rimula Contest Winners Enjoy European Truck Racin
It was truly a money-can’t-buy ex- perience for the winners of the recent Shell Rimula global promo- tion contest.
The seven Malaysians - Chong Kong Jam, Foo Kuek Hua, Gan Choon Ling, Jennie Lew, Liew Foh Min, Renny Ong and Tan Yeong Li - were among more than 180 participants from 19 countries who gathered in Budapest, Hungary recently.
They were there not just to watch the FIA European Truck Racing Cham- pionship teams at the Shell Hungary Truck Fest, but also take part in the Shell Rimula Truck Racing Challenge.
At the end of the exclusive truck team experience Shell China was crowned the 2015 Shell Rimula Truck Racing Challenge Team Champions and the overall Shell Rimula Truck Racing Challenge Country Champions was awarded to Shell Germany.
The Truck Racing Challenge was designed by Shell Rimula to let par- ticipants from all over the world put their truck racing team skills to the ultimate test. They navigated their way through a series of obstacles and trials with the guidance of expert instructors as they attempted to mas- ter truck control and accuracy tests, mechanical tasks, engineering skills and teamwork challenges in a bid to be crowned the Shell Rimula Truck Racing Champion.
Guests were also given the chance to see if they had what it took to be part of a truck-racing team as they experi- enced the vehicles’ power and gained an appreciation of the demands of- ten placed on heavy-duty engines of trucks, when operating in real-life conditions. In addition, driver concen- tration and awareness were put to the test in a number of precision and finesse driving challenges, as was the ability to work as a team to com- plete various tasks. And if that weren’t enough, all guests experienced the

The Hungarian adventure was not lim- ited to activities at the track. Guests were based in a premium hotel in Budapest from which they could explore the historic city and soak up the local atmosphere. In the evening they were treated to an array of dinners hosted by Shell Rimula.
“The event was great opportunity for us to be able to bring our valued hardwork- ing Shell Rimula customers together from across the globe for such a unique experi- ence in this beautiful city. All of the com- petitors had the opportunity to experience first-hand what it takes to be part of a pro- fessional truck racing team, as well as see the teams in action in the Shell Hungary Truck Fest,” said Seow Lee Ming, Shell Rimula Global Brand Manager.
The 2015 edition of the Shell Rimula glob-
al promotion contest was held from April 15 to July 15, 2015 and was open to all cus- tomers who purchased Shell Rimula R4, R5 or R6 heavy-duty diesel engine oil as well as some other Shell Driveline products.
Seow thanked the customers for their sup- port in making the global promotion anoth- er overwhelming success and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to work along- side them to achieve their business goals.
“The overwhelming response, especially from East Malaysia, is a clear indication of Shell Rimula’s market leadership in the heavy duty diesel engine oil category. We remain committed to ensuring that we work with these decades-long customers of ours and continuously help them deliver greater value to their businesses,” she said.
