Fancy visiting the home of the Prancing Horse, get acquainted with the glitz and glam of Milan, and rub shoulders with the Tifosi just like a VIP, with your trip fully paid for? Well, Shell Helix is looking for five lucky persons to get that once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Interested? Good. All you need to do is to take part in this year’s Shell Helix ‘Get Your Heart Racing’ contest, which began on March 15 and will end on May 31, 2012. The contest is split into two tiers, and there are more than 500 prizes worth over RM200,000 to be won.
In Tier 1, you’ll need to buy a minimum of four litres of either Shell Helix Ultra, Shell Helix HX7, Shell Helix HX 7 E or Shell Helix HX7 Diesel. Get the contest form (which you can also download here) and drop your entries at participating Shell Stations, Shell Helix workshops or spare part shops. Alternatively, you can also snail mail your entry to the address printed on the contest form. By the way, every four litres purchased in a single receipt is eligible for one entry.
The first 15 winners of Tier 1 will not only win RM2,000 cash, but qualify for the next tier. If you choose to continue on to the next tier, you’ll get an additional RM1,000. Details for the Tier 2 challenge are still shrouded in mystery and only will be made known when all 15 winners are selected.
Be victorious in both tiers and you’ll win an all-expense paid VIP trip to Italy, where you will be exploring the Ferrari HQ in Maranello, discovering the sights and culture of Milan and share the passion of the Scuderia Ferrari team at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza in September, 2012.
There are also other prizes for those who don’t make it past Tier 1 – 15 second prize winners will get RM1,000 cash, and 15 third prize winners will receive RM500 cash, while 500 consolation prize winners will get to take home a Shell Helix Ultra 4L pack worth RM218.
If you’ve been holding out to get some Shell Helix lubricant, now’s the perfect time to buy it. After all, it might get you on that plane to Italy.

Are you sure this is not a scam? The other day I received a sms that if I am a winner for buying a Shell Helix, and the prize is RM19,000. I just need to call a certain number. unfortunately, I have deleted the sms.
Anyway, google this “hadiah percuma rm19000.00 dari shell helix no pin 552299 sila call di talian 0178940375 www.shell.com”
Quite certain this is no scam because the news came from Shell itself. Look, common sense will tell you that nothing comes for free and if it is too good too be true, it is. The only way to know if you have won something is to remember if you joined the contest in the first place. Also, another tip is to read the Terms and Conditions. Tedious, I know, but it details how the contest organiser will contact you should you win. Usually, by calling and snail-mailing you. Not by email and definitely not by SMS.
Plenty of internet scams out there. It is prudent to be vigilant.
