  • A real machine: Get a first look and test drive the latest additions to the Mercedes-Benz fleet.

    The competition will take place at Taste of Abu Dhabi from Thursday, November 10 to Saturday, November 12 and visitors can experience the F1 endorsed machine which has been used to test drivers’ reaction speeds.

    The machine is designed to improve hand-eye coordination by forcing players to react to various lights. Participants have to move their hands to the blinking light with little time to spare, which also required peripheral vision and agility.

    It’s the same competition the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 drivers attempted head-to-head in 2011.

    If you think you can match or even beat your F1 heroes’ time, check out the Batak Pro challenge for yourself.
