Donate to charity, and you might just earn a chance to experience exciting car drifting action.

Singapore Formula One Grand Prix race promoter Singapore GP and title sponsor Singapore Airlines are collaborating with Community Chest for a charity drive event, Racing Hearts, at the F1 Pit Building on Aug 26 from 5-9pm.

Among the fun-filled motor racing events will be free drifting demonstrations led by Formula Drift star Kenshiro Gushi.

Six lucky members of the public will get front-row seats to the drifting action.

To raise funds for charity, Singapore residents can submit a minimum bid of $200 for an opportunity to strap themselves in the passenger seat with Gushi at the wheel.

Singapore residents can also take part in a 11/2-hour behind-the- scenes tour of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, accessing restricted areas such as team garages and the race control room. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis at singaporegp.sg

The public can also try out go-karting at the charity event, for a fee of $10 per participant. They can also race against the clock to perform the fastest pit stop, or test their reflexes at various game stations.
