ENERGY NEEDED FOR A FORMULA 1 TEST DRIVE

Battery Energy Drink, the official partner of the AT&T Williams Team, is offering an exciting opportunity to experience the inner workings of Formula One at first hand, from the garage right through to the cockpit. By participating in the new competition, eight lucky winners plus one skilled on-line game player can be a part of a compelling Formula One experience week in Europe. During the five days in September, the promotion's winners will get to closely follow the AT&T Williams team testing in Spain, but the real thrill will come when the winners will drive a Formula One car in Magny Cours in France at the end of their unique high speed week.

Next September, nine people will get the chance to experience the inner workings of Formula One for nearly a week. Prizewinners will first travel to Jerez in Spain to follow the AT&T Williams team during an official test testing in preparation for the final races of the 2008 season. The winners' journey then continues to France later in the week where they will drive the Battery Formula One car. The prize will be unique and the promotion is open to all, not just those with motorsport experience.

Nico Rosberg, one of the AT&T Williams team drivers said, "This opportunity is meant for everybody who is fascinated by speed and extreme experiences. I would like to encourage everyone to participate and believe in the possibility of being one of the nine winners",

"My first Formula One drive was an unforgettable experience. I was blown away when I accelerated for the first time the speed felt unreal. It felt like playing a game, everything happened so fast."

Now others can share the same unforgettable experience. There are two ways to enter the competition at the official Battery website at www.batterydrink.com. Entrants can either complete the competition entry form or by play the downloadable Battery Formula Racing game. The best 50 times from the Battery Formula Racing game, contested at the advanced skill level, will be entered into a draw to win.

The international competition and campaign is the largest yet by Battery, the popular energy drink brand, sold now in 35 countries.

"Many people dream to drive a real Formula One car. I'm pleased that we are able to make this dream come true. And it is not only the driving. By giving the winners access to see AT&T Williams team in action in testing, we offer a view behind the scenes and they can see and feel all the hard work required in the sport. Formula One is not only about glamour!" said Battery marketing manager Jori Manninen. He continued, "It is also a great opportunity to be able to bring Formula One closer to the fans in some countries where the sport has a developing popularity."

To be able to participate and drive a Formula One car, the winner must have a valid driving licence and she/he must be at least 18 year old. The competition ends August 15th 2008. Employees of AT&T Williams, Sinebrychoff or other breweries of the Carlsberg Group may not apply.

Battery Energy Drink is manufactured by Sinebrychoff which is part of the international Carlsberg Group. Battery is sold in 35 countries and it has been an official partner of AT&T Williams Team since 2006.
