SINGAPORE : The number of contestants in the MediaCorp Radio-Subaru Challenge is now down to just one man and one woman.

23-year-old sales executive Ian Lee and 29-year-old administrative officer Cheang Pui San outlasted 236 others to be the last two remaining after more than 71 hours.

34-year-old graphic designer Johnny Chua was disqualified only minutes earlier when he lifted his hand at 11.20am on Tuesday after having held on for 70 hrs and 20 minutes.

The 4th person dropped out at 8.10am Tuesday.

It's now been three sleepless nights and the heat and the rain have been taking their toll on the contestants.

Organisers are expecting the winner by the afternoon.

The last contestant, with his or her palm glued to the car, will walk away with a $90,000 Subaru Impreza WRX.

Last year's winner held on for nearly 67 hours while the winner of the inaugural contest in 2002 lasted 62 hours. - CNA
