Supercar drive day Week 1 winner announced
May 18, 2009 by Paul Maric
It was a very tough selection process. With in excess of 500 entries there was a lot of work to be done over the weekend by the judging panel – David Twomey, Matt Brogan and Paul Maric.
The winner of Week 1’s competition gets access to a full day behind the wheel of up to five supercars, taking in both the aural and visual delights of their surroundings and teamed machinery.
The winning entry from CarAdvice reader Dion Knowles read as follows:
Nurburgring, Germany. A sighter in the M5 Ring Taxi, followed by an afternoon lapping in the ultimate German sports car, the Porsche 911. Is good, yah?
As with the rest of our winners, we’ll get back in touch with them to see what they thought of the once in a lifetime experience, courtesy of Octane Supercar Events which will be sure to earn them bragging rights for many years to come!
Congratulations Dion and make sure you get entering into week 2 of the competition if you weren’t successfull with week 1.
Print it: 
Well done mate!!!
Well the creativity has blown me over!!!!!!! I can only assume that it was pulled out of a hat???
Crouchy:
With all due respect, your entry was certainly nothing to write home about, likewise with your spelling.
Congratulations to Dion, no doubt he’ll have a super time!
Really? Over 500 to choose from and that was the best? Oh well, congratulations Dion.
Haha, love your work guys!
If you guys think you can do better, by all means go for it!
We will hopefully have something special for the final week of our draw…we will have more information as it comes to hand.
Just goes to show it’s always worth entering these things. You never know what will get the judges’ attention.
Oh I don’t think I can do better, but it would be nice if you’d bring your reasons home a bit and publish some of the bad ones. Especially Crouchy’s; you’ve intrigued me.
Haha yes please post mine.. i have forgotten what i wrote. Last time i checked the requirements i didn’t see anything about correct spelling though!
By no means did i expect to win and i’m not saying that mine was better but I was just expecting something a little more creative, thats all.
Thanks for the comment though Paul. Giving stick to someone who spends half his day enjoying your website is quite frankly unprofessional. For your information, i suffer from an intellectual disorder and if you look back over my comments you may recognize a pattern. I try my best to spell correctly and contribute to a website which i have great respect for.
I am saddened to say that you have disappointed me. Imagine if football umpires bit back at everyone who questioned their work?
Congrats Dion – am green with envy – enjoy
Crouchy:
There were no spelling requirements.
I was merely suggesting it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Alex:
Not going to happen.
The results were drawn at the judges’ discretion. Dion’s entry hit the nail right on the head, he told us about his favorite race track and supercar and included a play on a common German phrase.
Of of the 8 finalists, Dion’s entry attracted the most votes by the judges and was drawn as the winner. Trust me, there’s no conspiracy in the CarAdvice office to defraud our readers.
Time to grow up Crouchy.
Cheers for the advice B-Man, i will definately take that on board…
Out of interest i was surprised to see the results of the current poll. Would have thought that the full throttle special would really appeal to people on here but it seems this is what they want the least of..
