In conversation with Campaign Middle East, Sami Kabbarah.

'The handover of the Chevrolet Corvette symbolised more than just a gesture – it highlighted Chevrolet's support for individuals who defy expectations and challenge the status quo. By aligning Amna's passion for racing with the Corvette's performance-driven DNA, we created a powerful connection between her drive and Chevrolet's commitment to excellence,' Kabbarah added.
