With the first RACE OFF videos of the two Arsenal football players Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Frimpong going live this week, Nico Rosberg’s first challengers showed their skills in the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS F1 simulator.
Check out Sagna’s performance today at www.puma.com/raceoff, with Frimpong’s to follow on September 13.
Just before his own performance in the simulator, Sagna said: ”I like racing – I love the speed. For me, to get the opportunity to do it in real life would be amazing.
“Winning PUMA Race Off would be incredible. I’m a competitor and I want to win everything on and off the pitch and in every situation I want to be the best.
“To drive a real racing car would be sensational.”
This summer Formula One star Nico Rosberg of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS F1 team challenged some of the best from the world of sport to try their hand at Formula One.
PUMA RACE OFF sees sporting stars such as Sergio Agüero, Cesc Fabregas and Michael Carrick given the chance to prove their talent in the fastest sport.
The quickest will have the opportunity of a driving lesson from Nico, before putting their skills to the test in a high performance Mercedes-Benz car around a real racing circuit.
Rosberg says: “PUMA RACE OFF is a very interesting concept and I like the idea of merging different sport categories.
“And,” he added cheekily, “I am intrigued to see how all these top athletes perform in a real sport.”
PUMA will launch two new videos every week, showcasing individual player performances on the famous Monza race track, which can be seen at www.puma.com/raceoff.
