GMK subscribers “will be able to sign their car” at the Top Marques show in Monaco
On social networks, in the eyes of car enthusiasts, he is a star. Each of his appearances in the Principality, at the wheel of one of his many racing cars, gives rise to crowds. Georges Maroun Kikano, alias GMK, a solid fellow with a tender heart, willingly strikes a pose, talks about “auto” with his fans.
The man with 2.6 million followers on Instagram, who recently met Prince Albert IIhas been named ambassador of the Top Marques show.
Visitors could thus come across him in the aisles of the Grimaldi Forum. “I will have a stand with four of my cars: an Audi RS6, my favorite model, a Mercedes C63 Black Series, a BMW M4 and, finally, an Audi R8 that my subscribers can sign. From a pile of scrap, it becomes the living testimony of what binds me to my community, explains the main interested party, honored by this responsibility to represent the show. The goal is to exchange with these car enthusiasts, to go from virtual to reality.
According to him, his presence inside the show will also allow”to avoid unnecessary gatherings outside which could excite everyone and lead to potential outbursts. A crowd movement with several hundred people, it happens quickly and it’s unmanageable.”
In 2018, on the sidelines of the show, the presence of the Youtuber POG in the bend of the Fairmont had caused collective euphoria and unprecedented nocturnal outbursts in Monaco, placed a sword of Damocles on the event.
Every year, the Public Security impounds dozens of powerful cars that the owners have the unfortunate tendency to backfire. This year again, the Prince’s government has warned: there will be five days of immobilization in the event of a transgression of the Highway Code.
