VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Hi, has anyone actually won one of these competitions only they sound fantastic. My son is completing his degree next year in auto engineering and eventually wants to work in motorsport, needless to say were both huge F1 fans. I've been entering all F1 Vodafone comps for a very long while without success.

 

Here's hoping that that we get better luck with the latest trip to the Barcelona GP fingers and toes crossed.

 

Regards

 

John

Good luck to all who have entered, that would be a nice one to win, would be interesting to see how many people have entered and to see what the odds are :smileyhappy:

I've won an evening visit to the MTC and that was fantastic

Hi John,

 

I promise people really do win! We don't have any videos of the race day events, but there are a few of the other F1 events on our YouTube channel. Here's one of the MTC tours grolschuk mentioned:

 

 

Obviously given the nature of the prizes, there are only a limited number of winners each time. Keep trying though, there's always the chance you'll win! 

 

Good luck,

 

Tom

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for your reply it gives me faith that Vodafone are treating their customers to some great VIP experiences. Can you confirm for me whether winners are generally notified via text or email?

 

Many thanks

 

John

Sounds like a fantastic prize doesn't it?

 

I have entered too. Makes you wonder just how many entries there are for competitions like this though.

Probably thousands!

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Yes it's probably easier to win the lottery! However as my mother used to say you have to be in it to win it and she was always lucky with raffle prizes etc so I'll keep on trying especially with Vodafone F1 competitions.
Good luck

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Yes couldn't agree more, I never miss watching the GP's on TV and this year has so far been one of the most competitive for many years. However I've never been to a race so to win one of these competitions would be a dream come true.

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Wow sounds like you had a great experience thanks to Vodafone. I've never seen a live F1 GP so it would be something very special should I win especially as Lewis & Jenson are my favourite two drivers.
Good luck I'll be praying for a call or text just like you, do you know when we should find out?

Oh dear I'm sorry to say it looks like I've missed out again this year. However I won't give up trying as these Vodafone VIP F1 competitions are most definitely money can't buy experiences. :smileyhappy:

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Just to give all you guys faith in Vodafone again, I have won 4 tickets for the full weekend for this years Silverstone GP. Myself and the 3 (very lucky) friends I'm taken are massive F1 fan so couldn't believe it when I got the text telling me I'd won. Like you I thought no one ever won these things. Apparently they do, winnnnner!!!

 

It will be my first F1, roll on the 6th to the 9th!!!

 

good luck next year!!!

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Thanks for letting me know that there are genuine people put there that win this competitions. It's also good to hear that just like me you're into F1. Unfortunately many of these VIP tickets I've seen recently for sale on EBay obviously won by those that have no passion for the sport. That really hurts as I so want to see my first live GP with my son.
Anyway thanks again for your reply and have a great weekend!

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Congratulations stvboy! Have an awesome weekend.

chelsea1952, I've taken a look and can't see any Vodafone ones? Even if there were, they're not transferrable so there'd be no way of anyone else using them- the seller would end up giving the money back.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: VIP F1 Race day Competitions

Tom I assure you over the past week I've seen at least two or three people selling them. I questioned one of them and he said the tickets were transferable.
