|
The final round of the Vodacom
Power Tour sponsored by Playstation 2 and GP
Windscreens will take place at the AA Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit on the 23rd
November 2002. And, the stage is set for a frenzy of
activity both on and off the track. With Playstation using the event to
launch their latest FIA licensed rally game WRC II, they will have a
transporter on display with Playstation 2 consoles in it, featuring the
new game and giving race fans the opportunity to try it out. Playstation
will run a competition, with the person who sets the fastest stage time
winning a Playstation 2 console. In addition, they will also be giving
away 5000 Playstation 2 water bottles to the first 5000 people to try the
game. In addition, they will have the Playstation sponsored Mitsubishi
Pajero that competes in the SA National Off-Road Series on display. The associate sponsor for the day, GP
Windscreens has been involved in the automotive business for almost three
decades. GP Windscreens still remains one of South Africa’s most
respected suppliers of windscreens to corporate fleet managers, the auto
repair industry and the insurance and motor trades. They will use the day
to announce that they are to become the official car glass supplier to the
South African Production Car series for 2003.
There will also be a lunchtime track
parade consisting of eight replica World Rally cars, consisting of two
Peugeot 206’s, two Subaru Impreza Turbo’s, two Ford Focus’s and two
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo’s. There will also be other vehicles on the parade
that are sure to entertain the crowds, including the seven 2003 Car of the
Year finalists, which were recently announced at the Auto Africa show. In
addition, there will be a children’s play area close to the Playstation
2 area, at the back of the Pit’s near the Playstation 2 bridge. In the
same area, the Vodacom Power Tour will have driver and rider autograph
signing sessions. The Vodacom Power Tour will have a
merchandise stall at the track on Saturday the 23rd. The blue
gazebo situated at the back of the Pit Lane will sell local and
international team paraphernalia as well as Vodacom Power Tour caps,
stickers etc. Be on the look out too for celebrities
walking around the Pit Lane. We have it on good authority that 5Fm’s
Sasha Martinengo and model Ilsa Nel, fresh from her SA Sports Illustrated
Swimwear 2002 feature in Zanzibar, will be at the 23rd November
race day. On both the Friday and Saturday
nights, there will be a huge party in the Vodacom Power Tour Paddock Club
situated above Pit Lane. The huge enclosed area will be turned into a
festive pub with the pre-race party taking place there on the Friday
night, while on the Saturday evening, the official Prize Giving will take
place in the area followed by a huge season ending party. |
