Filipino-Swiss racer Marlon Stockinger recently came home to Manila to promote his partnership with Globe Telecom and Lotus F1. The leading telecommunications company will hold an event called “Slipstream” on August 30, 2014, where fans and racing aficionados can see Stockinger drive his Lotus-Gravity Charouz Formula Renault 3.5 car around Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
As a testament to its modern and fast network infrastructure now with 100% 3G coverage nationwide and soon 4G HSPA+, the event will also feature Lotus F1 simulators, booths, freebies, and games in partner-establishments. The day will be capped off with a high-velocity concert and party to celebrate the milestone.
“We are bringing in the world’s fastest sports headlined by one of the fastest-driving young drivers in the world, happening at the country’s fastest-developing business hub, powered by the nation’s fastest and most modern network to make our customers feel what it’s like to see fast, hear fast, and be fast powered by Globe,” shares Peter Bithos, Chief Operating Advisor of Globe.
The Prince of Speed spent the afternoon with his fans who joined his Instagram contest, where they were asked to submit their video messages to Marlon telling him why they deserve to be at the Speed Meet with Marlon, his own version of a meet and greet session.
Lucky fans, which included a hardcore supporter all the way from Baguio, were treated to hours of games, fun activities, freebies and prizes, as well as photo opportunity with their racing idol. Radio disc jockey Tracy Abad was assigned hosting duties and brought Marlon closer to his fans and supporters beyond the racing suit, as they got the chance to get to know Marlon more through Speed Talk, a portion where Marlon was asked more personal questions revealing his interests, hobbies, and future goals.
