SINGAPORE – A total of 100 participants in 50 cars signed up for the seventh edition of Torque magazine’s thematic islandwide automotive telematch called Torque On The Move.
Held on Aug 27, the theme for this year was “Stretch Your Motoring Dollar”. With two team members to a car, participants were flagged off from Tree Lizard Restaurant & Bar at Dempsey Hill at 9.30am.
They had to decipher location clues to arrive at four compulsory checkpoints known as Torque Junctions, located at Komoco’s Hyundai showroom, a Bridgestone store, a Hevshop workshop and the Ultimate Drive outlet in Suntec City.
The challenges at the Torque Junctions put the participants’ teamwork, creativity and motoring knowledge to the test.
Additional points were assigned to those already earned by the participants in the pre-event and islandwide bonus challenges.
Torque is Singapore’s leading motoring monthly magazine published by SPH Magazines.
The end point was at SPH Media Centre at Genting Lane where the three top-scoring teams collected their prizes on the winners’ podium.
