Vodafone McLaren Mercedes launch new online racing game


SingTel Singapore GP - Lewis Hamilton, McLaren

Motor racing fans who believe they have the skill to one day be a World Champion can showcase their talents on a new online game from Vodafone McLaren Mercedes.
The Formula One team have joined forces with Mobil 1 lubricants to launch Will You Be The 1?, an interactive game that gives players the chance to develop their skills and understanding of the sport.
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes World Champion Lewis Hamilton was the first to sample the game and has set a score of 10,147 points for fellow players to beat.
In all, there are four different tests - technical knowledge, memory, reactions and driving challenge.
The first tests a person’s knowledge of a Mercedes-Benz engine, memory challenges players on circuits from around the world, reactions is a typical race and driving challenge is a specific course made up by Hamilton including all of his favourite corners on circuits on the Formula One calendar.
Gamers will receive an overall score after completing all four sections of the experience.
Hamilton said: "Formula One is a sport that demands high performance from its drivers through the ultimate mental and physical tests.
"It is only by collaborating with partners such as Mobil 1 that we can deliver peak performance on the track, race after race."
Hamilton won the World Championship last season after five Grand Prix wins and five other podiums helped him to 98 points.
