KSA to DXB - am a little excited

[Rocketman105]

Finally arranged a weekend in Dubai next week. Cannot wait.

Anything going on that might be of interest to three blokes who have been cooped up in Riyadh for four months?









Apart from the obvious

[Chilli]

Jesus, the only thing I think will be required is 2 solid days at the rattlesnake.

[dxbtiger]

What nights you here?

[IanUAE]

Media day is at the Autodrome on the 29th. Press stuff starts at 11am.

what does media day entail? if i turn up with a notebook and trilby with my bussines card in the brim do i get a go on track?

i'd recommend you spend friday at saffron brunch and then nasimi beach bar.

1st part is listening to the organisers / sponsors / well known driver spouting how good the season is going to be. 12:30-1pm is VIP laps, 2 years ago I just signed the form and got 3 laps as a passenger in GT2 Porsche (1 lap) and Radical SR8 (2 laps). Going out in Honda Civic EG this year.

After that it is testing in the afternoon. Going to be help run a Triumph 675 and a Honda Civiv EP3 this season + a car in the Dubai 24hr event.

just checked my diary [i hate having a diary] and the entry for the 29th is an all day quarterly business review. so i can't be at the autodrome as i'll be having too much fun

[IanUAE]

Guess me posting pictures won't help then.....

Not particularly. Wouldn't mind coming down the pits on a raceday this season though, can twirl a mean spanner when required.

As for beers, going bubbleicious at the westin tomorrow night, hostie spotting

[IanUAE]

October 7th is the first race day of the season. Drop by and say hello.

[Rocketman105]

Cheers guys.

We're over for three nights from 28th, leaving on the 1st.

Flying the best airline in the Middle East; Saudia.

3 laps as a passenger in this. Car driven by Jonathan Mullan.


That's me on the left

Also had fun helping out the bike racers as well.

It's a small world - I knew Jonathan when I was over in AUH - does he still have the Lancia, Porsche, BMW & GTI?

Tell him I said Hi!

[Rocketman105]

Had an ace weekend.

And now have a case of the post holiday blues - not aided by the general mayhem of Riyadh airport on Saturday night!

Anyone need a UAE based Contracts guy?
