| Yasemin and Rudi make a splash at the World Rally Championship! |
| 26.06.2004 |
From
June 25th to the 27th, Yasemin and Rudi attended the
Turkish round of the prestigious motor sport event the
World Rally Championship. Invited as guests of Yasemin’s
current sponsor Hyundai, Yas and Rudi spent three wonderful
days indulging their passion for motor racing. During
the event Yasemin conducted several PR activities for
Hyundai and, we are proud to say, probably signed more
autographs than any of the drivers. Indeed, Yas was
very popular with the attending crowds as well as the
star drivers themselves, all of whom were very interested
on her exploits and asked a lot of questions regarding
freediving. Citroen team star drivers Carlos Sainz (Spain)
and Sebastian Loeb (France) former world champion and
current championship leader respectively, are even avid
freedivers and spent a long time conversing with Yasemin
and Rudi. Sainz went as far as requesting a training
routine from Rudi while Loeb, reputedly the fittest
driver on the circuit, confessed that his personal best
was “only” 23 meters but after seeing Yasemin’s
diminutive size he was encouraged that he could achieve
more. On the photos from top to bottom: Yasemin with
Carlos Sainz, with 2003 champion Peter Solberg, and
Yas and Rudi with Sebastian Loeb.
