Spend your Hilton Honors points sim racing against Formula 1’s Lando Norris!

Given the upcoming lockdown situation, and if you're like me you've barely stepped on a plane or stayed at a hotel this year, and for the foreseeable future you don't know what to do with your points.

If ever there's a cross-over of my love of engineering, in particular Formula 1, and loyalty points, this may be it. Fans will get the chance to do some sim-racing against Lando Norris of McLaren F1 Team and some other Hilton Honors members. As well racing against him, there will be a chance to do a 45 minute interaction with him after the race.

There are a total of 15 packages available at 25,000 Honors Points each, available on a first come, first served basis from this link. The sales begin today at 17:00BST (GMT+1) which should be midday EST.

If like me you don't have enough points you can top up your account you can actually top up your account with 25,000 points for $250USD which for this kind of opportunity I think is a bargain. It's not an auction either, so that's the final price. I'll be refreshing the page furiously at 5pm, that's certain!

Lando himself is quite an avid sim-racing streamer having participated in many of Formula 1's Virtual GPs earlier this year while all the real races were cancelled.
