googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

The effect is said to be similar to one where you will hear sounds coming from all around you when in the city, but instead of random sounds like car horns, footsteps, or constructions, you are listening to music. So, the launch will give you an immersive experience.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
