Shell Saudi Arabia (JOSLOC) hosted a delegation of Saudi clients on a tour of Hungary in September, during which the visitors not only met with the FIA European Truck Racing Championship teams at the Shell Hungary Truck Fest, but also took part in the exclusive Shell Rimula Truck Racing Challenge.

The bespoke Truck Racing Challenge was designed by Shell Rimula to let participants from all over the world put their truck racing team skills to the ultimate test.

They navigated their way through a series of obstacles and trials with the guidance of expert instructors as they attempted to master truck control and accuracy tests, mechanical tasks, engineering skills and teamwork challenges in a bid to be crowned the Shell Rimula Truck Racing Champion.

During the challenge, Saudi delegates were given the chance to see if they had what it takes to be part of a truck-racing team as they experienced the vehicles’ power and gained an appreciation of the demands often placed on heavy-duty engines of trucks, when operating in real-life conditions.

Driver concentration and awareness were also put to the test in a number of precision and finesse driving challenges, as was the ability to work as a team to complete the various tasks.

“It has been a very exciting few days in Budapest and a great opportunity for us to be able to bring our valued hardworking Shell Rimula customers together from across the globe for such a unique experience in this beautiful city.”

All of the competitors have been under the guidance of expert instructors and had the opportunity to experience first-hand what it takes to be part of a professional truck racing team, as well as see the teams in action in the Shell Hungary Truck Fest,” said Sharif Gohari, general marketing manager, Shell Lubricants Saudi Arabia.
