Mediacorp Subaru Car Challenge - Day 4, 30 Oct (1pm)
We’re well past the 70-hour mark for the Mediacorp Subaru Car Challenge with 10 participants remaining. 5 local and 5 regional participants are now that much closer to the Grand Prize of a brand-new Subaru XV 2.0i-S worth S$70,000.
This year’s Challenge might see a female participant emerge victorious for the first time – with three women putting up a tough fight against their male counterparts. Seven-time participant Ram Gerthi from Singapore, is also determined to be the last man standing. His 14-year-old twin daughters are his biggest supporters, and have steadily cheered him on since Day 1.
