Shell Motorsport Collection is back with seven legends up for grabs

THE Shell Motorsport Collection is back with seven Bluetooth-controlled high-performance car models to choose from.

Mobility Shell Malaysia general manager Seow Lee Ming said the seven models from the collection represented a significant moment in Shell's long-standing motorsport history.

They are the Ferrari SF90 F1, BMW M4 Motorsport, Nissan Formula E Gen 2 Car, Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC, Shell V-Power Racing Team Ford Mustang GT, Team Penske Indycar, and Nascar Team Penske Ford Mustang GT.

"Shell was there alongside the earliest motorsport pioneers and had an embedded history within motorsport. The latest collection celebrates some of the best race cars that redefined the racing world, such as the Hyundai i20 hybrid rally car and Team Penske's Indycar.

"The Hyundai i20 hybrid rally car won the latest WRC championship in Greece and has secured victories on all terrains — gravel, snow, mixed, and tarmac. On the other hand, Team Penske's Indycar is a trailblazer in the Indycar industry and boasts a 100 per cent renewable race fuel with a 60 per cent greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

"Our customers have always been at the heart of our business. We want them to have an opportunity to create unforgettable memories with their family and friends every time they stop at Shell.

"We are happy to offer our customers a quick escape from reality while enjoying an adrenaline-thrilled RC race with their loved ones anywhere with our latest collection," she added.

Each car comes with an electric engine and can be seamlessly controlled by the player's smartphones through the Shell Racing free app that's available on App Store and Google Play.

The models come with a proprietary smart battery that integrates a Bluetooth chip within a rechargeable lithium cell. It was developed in partnership with BrandBase and 12 right holders such as Ferrari, BMW, Hyundai, Ford and Nissan.

These limited-edition Bluetooth remote-control cars will be released one model per week exclusively at Shell Stations nationwide starting this week until Dec 8.

Customers can purchase the Motorsport Collectors box alone without the models at RM80 when they pump Shell V-Power Racing fuel for RM80 in a single receipt.

Separately, the car models and the smart Bluetooth battery are available at RM30 each with a minimum fuel purchase of RM50 to complete the collection.

Alternatively, customers can get the exclusive Ferrari SF90 racing car and one smart battery for free when they buy selected Shell Helix Lubricant 4L at Shell stations.

Shell Malaysia is organising a correlating event at KL Sentral on Oct 17-23 and at Mid Valley Megamall on Oct 26-30 to commemorate the launch of the collection.

The event aims to give the public an exclusive experience to try all seven racing car models on racetracks designed specifically to present each car in their winning atmosphere.

As a form of introduction to Shell's rich motorsport partnerships history over the years, visitors will get to view the legendary Hyundai i20 WRC replica on site as well.

Those who missed the one-car weekly launch can try their luck to grab these limited-edition models at the public event while stocks last.
