Philips Shavers Get Closer Challenge

Philips Shavers Brings You Live Coverage Of The Hungarian GP and The Chance to Drive an F1 Car!

Philips Shavers, Official Partner of the AT&T Williams Formula One team, will be bringing live coverage of the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix to the British International Motor Show on Sunday 3rd August. Introduced by the legendary F1 commentator Murray Walker, the race will be shown in full from 13:00pm on a large outdoor screen situated in the show's Heritage Enclosure (West Arena).

Philips Shavers is providing the screen as part of its "Get Closer to F1" campaign where entrants to their Get Closer Challenge have the chance to drive an AT&T Williams Formula One car! www.philips.co.uk/attwilliams

One winner from the UK will be given expert tuition at a leading motor racing school and compete against winners from around the world at a Global Final. Finalists will get to drive a selection of high-performance and single-seater racing cars before the overall winner is chosen by AT&T Williams Team Principal, Sir Frank Williams, and Technical Director, Sam Michael to drive an AT&T Williams FW29 Formula One car for five laps on the Silverstone circuit.

Nico Rosberg, lead driver for the Oxfordshire based AT&T Williams team, commented: "The first time I drove an F1 car was a really unbelievable experience. It really is an assault on the senses and the difference with driving a road car is just incredible; nothing can really prepare you for it. It is a bit like the difference between flying away somewhere for your holiday or climbing aboard an air force fighter jet. This really is an amazing opportunity and I am sure it will be one the winner will never forget."

The overall winner will be announced at the AT&T Williams headquarters in Grove, Oxfordshire where finalists will be given the rare opportunity to see the AT&T Williams team at work and visit the Williams F1 Grand Prix Collection of championship winning race cars from Williams 30-year history.

The winner will have a custom seat built to their body shape and receive a full briefing on how to drive the car, work the steering wheel controls and safety procedures. They will also have a rigorous session in the team's race simulator - a high-tech, state-of-the-art driver training tool. Their drive of a lifetime will begin in a Formula 3 car. Once they are comfortable with the track and speed of the car, they will then step into the AT&T Williams Formula One car and have one of the world's fastest and most expensive machines at their finger tips!

Nico Engelsman, Category Leader Shaving and Grooming, Senior Vice President Consumer Lifestyle, Philips Shavers said: "Philips Shavers is throwing down the gauntlet to drivers everywhere who think they have what it takes to drive a Grand Prix car. If you have ever dreamt of being a racing driver, enter now!"

To find out more, come and see the AT&T Williams F1 car on display at the Go Motorsport stand (Hall N6, Stand N150 in Motoring Plus) and register for your chance to win a new Williams F1 HQ7390 shaver which Philips will be giving away everyday for the duration of the British International Motor Show.
