Middlesea Insurance will be sponsoring the ninth edition of Malta's annual popular motoring event, Paqpaqli Ghall-Istrina, which will be held on 7 December between 9am and 3.30pm, within the grounds of the Malta International Airport and Lufthansa Tecknik.Middlesea Insurance will be hosting its own stand during the event, where people can gain more information about the products offered by the company, meet the amiable Motormax and be in the chance to win more than €2,000 worth in gifts, including insurance products, free car fuel as well as car tracking devices. Two roadside assistance tow trucks of Middlesea Assist will also be displayed on the stand. All the proceeds of Paqpaqli Għall-Istrina go to The Malta Community Chest Fund and L-Istrina. Motorsport, live stunts and action, stunt biker shows and a Soapbox car competition will be some of the main attractions of this year's annual motoring event. The public will also be able to drive four supercars, follow live action on three different circuits and admire luxury and classic vehicles which will be on display. Some of the cars which will be present in this year's Paqpaqli Ghall-Istrina include the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ferrari 458 Italia, the latest Porsche road/track car 991 GT3, the latest Porsche Carrera 4S and the Macan Turbo and two Nissan GT-Rs. This year, over 1,000 vehicles from 35 local automotive clubs are expected to participate. Owners of fast cars and bikes will be able to push their vehicles to the limit in what is potentially the longest and most secure straight piece of tarmac in Malta. Paqpaqli Għall-Istrina 2014 will feature, for the second year, an ICC time attack challenge where 100 cars will battle for the best time of the day around a technically designed circuit that allows for interesting speeds and fast cornering in a safe environment.The event is also a fun day for the whole family with activities for children planned throughout the day.
