Shell Helix Extreme Driving Experience – Let’s Go Africa!!

.

Dear all,

.

It gives me extreme pleasure to announce that kensomuse has been selected as one of the few official media channels to feature Discovery Channel’s adventure series “Driven to Extremes” special trailers and Shell Helix is offfering a chance-in-a-lifetime all-expense, VIP trip to South Africa for five lucky Shell Helix customers where they will have the opportunity to see how far their driving skills go in the Shell Helix Driven to ExtremesWorld Championship, a two-day competition comprising an extreme off-road challenge in the shadow of Cape Town’s famous Table Mountain and an exciting navigation challenge through the African bush teeming with wildlife.

.

Trust me, it’s a trip you would want to go as participants will be given the best training on the working of an engine in such extreme conditions, how to handle the vehicle on various terrains and, of course, the importance of oil selection to optimise the vehicle engine performance in such conditions. Driving in extreme heat of KL nowadays? Been through worse. Getting stuck in a flood? No problem. Finding themselves in rain soaked Putra Heights and the tarmac road suddenly became a mud sludge? Child’s play.Those who win will get a chance to experience to some degree what those crazy fellas did in the specially modified Nissan Patrol filled with Shell Helix Ultra fully synthetic motor oil

.

Speaking of those fellas, it’s a show not to be missed! Ever wondered how an off-the-shelf Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic Engine behave in extreme conditions, driven by British actors Tom Hardy (acted in Star Trek Nemesis, Inception and as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises), Henry Cavill (upcoming Superman Man of Steel movie!), American actor Adrien Brody (starred in Predators, King Kong, The Pianist), ex-F1 driver Mika Salo and British ex-superbike champion Neil Hodgson?
