The 2007 Formula One World Drivers' Champion opened the event
and presented UPS's Ferrari race garage, complete with a show car,
race simulators, and histories of Scuderia Ferrari and UPS. Both
companies have exciting and long histories that UPS is keen to
celebrate and share with the people of Singapore.
Räikkönen, who was recently re-signed by Scuderia Ferrari for
the 2016 season, discussed the synergies between the two global
brands and praised UPS for providing access to fans who are not
able to attend the race over the weekend. He also met with a number
of UPS executives and contest winners at the event ahead of the
2015 FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX.
"It's a very nice idea for UPS to give the fans this kind of
access. For a driver, it's sometimes easy to forget how privileged
we are, but this is a great celebration of the relationship ahead
of the Grand Prix," said Scuderia Ferrari Driver, Kimi
Räikkönen.
"UPS and Scuderia Ferrari share similar values - excellence,
innovation and precision - creating a solid foundation for us to
collaborate and improve Scuderia Ferrari team's operations and
efficiency," said Jim O'Gara,
President of UPS South Asia District.
"Providing the public with access to the world of Scuderia
Ferrari and this magnificent sport is a fantastic way to celebrate
UPS's partnership with Scuderia Ferrari. This UPS City Center Race
Experience is a fine example. Our global presence in more than 220
countries and territories connects businesses and communities
around the world, providing people with unparalleled access and the
customer experience that they have now come to expect from UPS,"
O'Gara concluded.
The general public can enjoy a complimentary ride on the
simulators at the UPS City Center Race Experience from 12pm to 10pm from Friday,
September 18, to Sunday, September
20, at Raffles City Shopping Center outside Robinson's.
