We’ve seen Team Awal and Team Scha Alyahya competing in the Petronas Switch for XTRA Road Challenge before this, now let’s take a look at another team in the game – Team Faizal bin Ismail (FBI), headed by the popular DJ from HotFM. The radio man is joined by teammates Afanddy Hushni and Ahmad Izzuddin, both IT guys.

Their first task actually started before the road trip, when the team needed to come up with a freestyle “senamrobik” video and get 1,000 Facebook likes for it. As predicted, it was funny and they got the required FB likes – being followed by many online has its perks!

On to the road challenge proper, where the team started at the Jalan Kolam Ayer Petronas station. Like Team Scha before this, Team FBI had to sell some boys. Not only did they meet the minimum requirement, the team showed extra effort by selling double the number. They looked like they enjoyed it, too!

Their next location was a new Petronas station with eco-friendly features such as a solar panel, rainwater harvesting system, LED lights and a giant fan that has the power of 30 fans, but consumes the energy of just four. Located at Sg Besi on the PLUS highway heading south, the station has drive-through Starbucks and KFC outlets.

Here, they received instructions for the third and final challenge – head down to Plaza Pelangi in Johor and gather 60 people within one hour to do a “Senamrobik” exercise with provided attire. Should be hilarious, so head on to Petronas Brands Youtube channel to watch the videos.

Here’s a recap of what this is all about. The Road Challenge is actually the second phase of the #Switch4XTRA campaign after the Petronas Switch For XTRA Race, which saw fans vote for their favourite celebrities in a virtual popularity race.

The Road Challenge features four famous faces – Awal Ashaari, Scha Alyahya and Faizal Ismail (FBI) are the three celebrities, while Hanis Zalikha is the celebrity blogger involved – who will travel across Malaysia and complete fun challenges along the way. They won’t be alone though, as each celebrity will be supported by a team of two supporters, who were picked from the top 15 winners of the Switch for XTRA Race.

In the Road Challenge, each team of three will be sent on a roadtrip to a selected location in Malaysia, where they will need to complete a challenge. To add spice, the challenge can only be completed with the help of the public.

When the teams receive their challenge, the celebrities will “call for help” via their respective social networks, so every fan can play a part, not just the two teammates. The roadtrip challenges will then be posted online as webisodes on the Petronas Brands Youtube channel.

In the end, the team with the highest number of collective video views will be crowned champion. The winning team will walk away with RM10,000 cash, which will be divided 50:50 between the two team members.
