Win A Schmick New Electric Car By Playing ‘Smarter Than Who’
It’s Australia’s first plug-in hybrid ute, and it could be all yours.
Every weekday from 8am, we ask Brisbane listeners to put their trivia knowledge to the test with 'Smarter Than Who'.
Last year we gave away a BYD Atto 3 to contestant Carley, but this year? Well, 'Smarter Than Who' is getting an upgrade.
Not only do we now have Nikki Osborne in the challenger seat but we’ve upped our prize. This year you could cruise the streets in the BYD Shark 6 Premium AKA News Corps’ Motoring Car of the Year (2024).
The best bit? Win or lose against Nikki and you’ll go into the draw to win the off-road wonder that is the BYD Shark 6. Win? Well, you’ve secured bragging rights, you bloomin’ genius.
Start brushing up on trivia and listen out for the cue to call during Ash, Luttsy & Nikki Osborne each weekday morning to play.
