Michelin conducted a special event for its brand loyalists across the world where they were given the opportunity to drive race cars on a race track as a part of the Michelin Pilot Sport Experience. The event was held at Sepang International Formula 1 circuit in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia.

We are delighted to have received participation from the Middle East and Africa region this year as they form a key part of our target market."

This was the tenth edition of the Michelin Pilot Sport Experience.
