Shell Advance contest winners get Japan trip

MOTORCYCLE owners Mohammad Nizam Md Omar and Muhamad Iqbal Hibri Azilan’s decision to use Shell Advance motorcycle engine oil have paid off handsomely.

They won the two Grand Prizes in the 2016 Shell Advance Power On contest recently and with it, a trip to Japan.

The highlight of the all-expense trip in October was the opportunity to catch the Japan MotoGP and the fifth round of this season’s Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup (SAATC) motorcycle racing championship at the famous Twin Ring Motegi racetrack.

Technician Mohammad Nizam, who has been using Shell Advance AX5 motorcycle engine oil for his 125cc Honda Future due to its long lasting performance, was truly elated with his first-ever major contest win and the trip.

“It was my first trip to Japan and the highlight was certainly the visit to the Twin Ring Motegi racetrack. The special VIP pass arranged for us by Shell allowed us to explore nearly all areas of the track during the Japan MotoGP race. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” he said.

Fellow grand prize winner Muhamad Iqbal, a Kawasaki GTR 1400 owner who had just switched to Shell Advance Ultra with PurePlus Technology recently, was all praise for the VIP treatment accorded to the winners throughout the 5-day 4-night trip.

“Thanks to Shell, we were able to experience the excitement of MotoGP on another level, which we would never have been able to do on our own,” said Muhamad.

“The win aside, I am also very happy with my decision to use Shell Advance Ultra with PurePlus Technology. There is a real difference in my bike as the engine is now super quiet, more powerful and more economical,” said the IT analyst.

The 2016 Shell Power On contest also rewarded Consolation Prize winners with GIVI merchandises that included 10 Monolock boxes, 20 units of fullface helmets, 30 units of rainsuits and 50 units of backpacks.

Shell Lubricants general manager (Malaysia and Singapore) Leslie Ng said that the attractive premium prizes offered in the 2016 Shell Advance Power On contest were designed to reward loyal and passionate bikers who relied on Shell Advance to get the most out of every ride.

“We also reward trade partners who have worked hard to promote Shell Advance motorcycle engine oil in Malaysia. This is why the Japan trip also included 10 workshop owners,” he said.
