Looking For India’s Biggest Motorsport Fan - Ride With Mika Hakkinen In A Formula Car!

Homegrown Staff

At some point or another, every gearhead has wondered how it feels to unleash the true power of a supercar on an empty track, but for most, it remains a distant dream. Formula 1 has it’s own cult following in India, but rarely sees the representation showered on other more mainstream sports. But this November that’s all about to change as Homegrown in collaboration with Johnnie Walker is bringing you a 3-day auto extravaganza at #JoinThePact (JTP).

The 3-day event kicks off in Mumbai with a press conference with motorsport legend, Mika Hakkinen and a chance to meet him in Bandra Kurla Complex in a collaboration with Ola. Mika will surprise some randomly chosen Ola users by picking them up in a premium car and taking them to their destination.

And what’s better than a driving with a racer? Being driven by a racer in a racecar. A few lucky contest winners will even have an opportunity to go for a spin with Mika in the McLaren Caparo T1, where you’ll be taken on hot laps around the venue in Delhi. The winners will be handpicked by Homegrown from people who sign the pact as well as win certain contests during the course of the activation.

If you’re a huge motorsport fan and have been dreaming of a chance to get up close and personal with a supercar or if Mika Hakkinen is one of your F1 heroes, this is the chance of a lifetime. So come on down and join in on India’s first supercar super event.
