Organised by the Changi Airport Group to celebrate the start of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix season, the event involved the Porsche 911 being positioned 200 metres behind the jetliner in a 1.7km race. You can probably guess who wins...

Ah, but now let the Porsche try staying airborne for a couple of hours AND let them serve drinks and hot food during the movie :D
