ExxonMobil Qatar is once again welcoming thousands of Qatar ExxonMobil Open attendees to its stand in the Public Village.
As the title sponsor of the esteemed tournament, ExxonMobil Qatar organizes a number of exciting, hands-on activities for people of all ages to enjoy.
“It gives us great pride to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open with our partner the Qatar Tennis Federation. Since the beginning, we've focused on providing the best experience possible for our visitors, and that includes the ExxonMobil Qatar stand in the Public Village,” said Alistair Routledge, President and General Manager for ExxonMobil Qatar.
“As in previous years, we’ve organized a multitude of activities at the stand in an effort to attract every visitor, young and old. Actively engaging the community is a pillar of our national outreach programs in Qatar, and we hope that you will join us for some fun, for a thrilling racing car simulator experience, and for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet tennis stars.”
The racing car simulator has been a long-time favourite of those visiting the ExxonMobil Qatar stand. The model provides visitors with an interactive and realistic racing experience based on a full-size specification racing car. It has an authentic, padded cockpit headrest, four-point racing harness, gear lever paddles, and a quick release carbon fibre steering wheel, that allow drivers to experience the unique movement of the car under realistic acceleration, braking and cornering conditions.  A built-in 5.1 surround sound system also provides users with a full-sensory experience.  
ExxonMobil Qatar is also bringing back the popular “ExxonMobil Minute” competition. After each match, ExxonMobil Qatar gives several lucky spectators the chance to catch tennis balls served randomly into the crowds by tennis stars.
