Sparks flew as DP World global ambassador Ian Poulter and Renault DP World F1 Team driver Esteban Ocon locked horns after competing at the DP World Tour Championship and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix respectively at the Dubai Autodrome karting track.
In a challenge set by Ocon’s team-mate, Ricciardo, the two sport stars raced three laps of the outdoor autodrome go kart track, after which both were asked to change cars to a golf buggy, get their golf clubs and then head to a pop-up putting green to finish with sinking a hole in one putt to win the challenge.
The challenge was captured in light-hearted short film that showed the genuine competitive spirit of the sport men.
