You Could Be The First-Ever Porsche Asia Pacific Driver of the Year

Porsche Asia Pacific has announced that it is now looking for the 2017 Porsche Asia Pacific Driver of the Year as it searches for the region's best and most skilled drivers as part of its Licence to Thrill campaign.

The search for the 2017 Porsche Asia Pacific Driver of the Year starts with the interested participants going online at www.licencetothrill.asia and completing a Theory Test which is comprised of eight questions and will run until July 31, 2017. The top 30 performers in the Theory Test will then qualify for the Practical Test which will be "a series of unusual and exhilarating practical tests" using all five Porsche models--the 718, 911, Panamera, Macan, and Cayenne--to be held at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia on September 8, 2017. According to Porsche, some of these tests include painting the number '718' on the track using the 718 Porsche Boxster with a drilled pot of paint mounted on the car and doing a gymkhana in reverse in the Porsche Macan. To be eligible for the Practical Test though, the participant must be above 21 years of age, hold a valid driver's license and have a minimum driving experience of at least three years. After the practical test, all the participants will be feted at the Porsche License to Thrill awards dinner with the top performer being declared as the first-ever and 2017 Porsche Asia Pacific Driver of the Year. Besides the bragging rights that come with such an award, the winner will also receive a fully-sponsored trip to the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles, USA. Besides the Philippines, the competition is also open to the following countries: Brunei, Cambodia, French Polynesia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Caledonia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
