No "Hands Off"

The rules of the contest are quite simple. Participants are required to place their palms on an assigned area of a car and under no circumstances are they permitted to remove their hands off its surface. The last person standing will be declared the winner. Yusman Wright, last year’s grand winner from Singapore, outlasted more than 400 competitors and clocked in a gruelling 75 hours and 1 minute. That’s more than three days! Countries expected to participate in the Asian leg include Thailand, Hongkong, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam and host Singapore.
