Surely, there’s never been a better time to buy new Pirelli tyres, especially now that the 2016 Formula One® (F1®) championship is in full swing and the competition is fierce.
Though that’s not the only contest that’s heating up, the real deal is the Tiger Wheel & Tyre and Pirelli competition that will see two lucky winners and their guests jetting off to Austin, Texas for the 2016 F1® United States Grand Prix in October 2016.
The prize is grand, but entry into the competition is simple. From 15 July 2016 to 15 September 2016, qualifying customers who buy any two or more Pirelli 17-inch or larger tyres from any Tiger Wheel & Tyre will automatically be entered into the competition, at no additional cost. The draw takes place on 19 September 2016 and the winner will be notified via telephone on the same day.
This spectacular prize includes return airfare for two from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, via Atlanta to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Austin, Texas; return airport transfers between the airport and hotel in Austin; four nights hotel accommodation; covered grandstand tickets and return transfers to and from The Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for Saturday’s qualifying session and Sunday’srace day.
A mere 30-minute drive from downtown Austin, the shiny new COTA is America’s first purpose-built F1®track and has hosted the USA Grand Prix since 2012. There are no imperfect viewing angles at this stunning five and a half kilometer track, with its exciting elevation changes of up to 40-metres, and the weather in Texas is usually fine and warm, even in October.
COTA race organisers have pulled out all the stops for the track’s 5th anniversary this year and general admission ticket holders are in for a special treat as a result. On Saturday, after the thrilling track action is completed, 10-time Grammy award winner Taylor Swift will treat race-goers to a full concert at the Super Stage located in the circuit’s infield.
