What you need to know:
Formule One. Eight lucky winners will be flown to Abu Dhabi in November to watch the season-ending Grand Prix at the famous Yas Marina Circuit
Kampala. Lewis Hamilton has won two of the opening eight formula one races this season in Monaco and Canada.
For Sowedi Eriasa Kategano however, he has not been able to watch his favourite driver. The site supervisor, who will represent Epsilon (U) Limited after the company won a ticket to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, is often caught up with work commitments at the company’s offices in Luweero.
That however will not be in doubt when he makes the trip to the Yas Marina event in the city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates later this year.
“I feel very happy because I have not watched any race this season because of work commitments,” admitted Sowedi who started following the sport two years back.
The opportunity will also represent the first time he will be travelling outside Africa. “I had an opportunity to travel to France for training early this year but I was denied a visa so I’m also looking forward to the new experience,” he added.
To stand a chance of making the all expensive paid four days trip, one can buy four Pirelli tyres, before the end of October, from any City Tyres outlet.
City Tyres will then hold one raffle draw every month, where seven people get goodies from the company while one fortunate customer wins a ticket to the Yas Marina event due November 27, courtesy of Pirelli.
