Singapore Endurance Challange

The Subaru challenge is an annual endurance challenge. Its kinda like Singapore's version of Survivor. The rules are simple enough, just keep your right hand firmly placed on the car, the last person standing wins the car. Everyone is given a five minute break every six hours during the day but other than that they have to remain in position the entire time which means no sleep, food or shelter! This is the 9th year they have had this challenge and evidently competitors come from all over Asia to participate. They actually have to qualify by passing a series of endurance tests to even be allowed to enter into the competition. This is hardcore!

400 contestants from all over Asia started the competition on Saturday but by Monday evening only 38 contestants remained. The first to drop out was a girl from Hong Kong who quit after 28 minutes and had to receive medical attention. She told reporters that it was "not this hot in Hong Kong."
In 2008 the all time record was set by Singaporean George Lee who outlasted everyone at 81 hours and 32 minutes.
The oldest competitor this year is a 66 year old Vivian Tan, this is her 3rd year to compete. She said she only dropped out last year because her son was worried for her health. So she told her son not to show up at this years challenge!!
Enjoying a 5 minute break
