Globe Tattoo Brings MARLON STOCKINGER and Lotus F1 Team closer to fans

Okay, I didn't get to see Marlon Stockinger up close and personal coz I came from a food event at Hyatt Manila and the venue at MOA Concert Grounds was already cordoned off when I got there but at least I got to see him drive the Lotus F1 race car and it was amazing! Tindi pala ng sound ng F1 cars, very intimidating.You can feel its power with the sound of the engine alone.

TATTOO, the most reliable broadband in the country, literally took to the streets last weekend to showcase speed and power as it unleashed the fastest car on the planet by flying in to Manila for the very first time an authentic, race-tested Lotus F1 car.

TATTOO Brings Marlon Stockinger closer to fans

Tattoo brand ambassador Marlon Stockinger, the first Filipino to make it to junior driver team of the prestigious Lotus F1 team, took the streets of SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds at 350 km/hour. An awesome sight even to non-F1 fans like me.

Globe senior executives led by President & CEO Ernest Cu and Senior Adviser for Consumer Business Peter Bithos were privileged to experience riding the two-seater Formula Renault cars driven by the Lotus F1 team’s Grand Prix 2 champion Davide Valsecchi.. I got nervous seeing the Renault car skid a couple of time as it makes the bend where I was taking photos.I admire Davide Valsecchi and the Loutus F1 team for braving the streets of Mall of Asia despite the fact that they were not really created for F1 racing.

Fans also had the chance to participate in an exciting Pit Stop challenge by changing the tires of Marlon’s Lotus F1 car in the fastest time possible, with the Lotus F1 Pit Stop crew demonstrating how to replace the tires of a Lotus F1 car under 3 seconds.True to their brand’s attribute, Team Tattoo of Mark McMahon and Ivan Isadaemerged victorious by clocking in at 3.5 ticks, besting other contingents.
