Car Touching Competition, Because of His Patient, He Wins BMW

This is one of the most weird competitions that I've ever seen before. This contest held in China’s Chengdu City  during the last days of May as part of a promotion for a real estate sales program,  and titled by ‘Who Can Keep Their Hand on the BMW‘. Song Changjiang, a lucky 27-year-old from Chengdu, China, has won the right to drive in a BMW 1 Series after keeping his hand glued to it for 4 days and three nights, in a bizarre contest.

Organizers brought out a few vehicles, placed palm-shaped stickers on them, and all the participants had to do is keep their hands on them for as long as they could. Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? I thought so too, but judging by the photos taken during the competition, it was a real physical and mental test.

In this competition 120 contestants joined, their age ranged between 18 and 40,  for the chance to win a BMW 1 Series.



The photos of exhausted contestants laying on the ground, sleeping on their feet with their hands glued to the BMWs, and even carried away by their girlfriends were released by the press, They allowed a 15-minute break every four hours, to eat, sleep or go to the toilet, only three of them were left standing. One of them quit in tears, after his legs had swollen so much he couldn’t even walk, and the second one gave up three hours later, making Song Changjiang the last man standing. The winner spent 87 hour touched the car.


 You might think a brand new BMW 1 Series is worth all the effort, but what we haven’t told you is the winner didn’t actually get to own the car. after 87 grueling hours, Song only won the right to drive it for 5 years, before having to return it to the company that organized the car-touching competition. “I won, but it was not worth it, I’d never do it again,” Son Changjiang told the press, after the contest. “At the end, I didn’t have the strength to eat. Even if there is an award of a million, I will not take part in a contest like this in the future.”

  2. قياده السياره لخمس سنوات شىء رائع ولكن اعتقد ان المتسابقين كانوا ينون بيعها لانها غاليه الثمن والاستفاده بثمنها
