Well, keeping the hands on the car for 10 hours is one thing, but winning the car at the finale event won't be that easy, as it will take more than 10 hours of endurance. In fact, the earlier records suggest that the winning times could stretch to more than 3 whole days in the sun and rain. The last year's record was set by a Singaporean participant of 82 hours and 16 minutes.

You might be thinking, how they will eat or drink? , well short breaks are allowed during the event as it would be too much not to allow the participants to have food and drink and to go to the toilet. But still it will take a lot of perseverance and determination to keep the palm on the bonnet non-stop for days.
