FAO: Harris I

Mate,

You're famous! I saw you on the tely this afternoon. There was I floating about, when I caught a glimpse of the Porsche with the big "99" on the side. Then saw you pop onto the podium, to collect the silverware.
Just thought I'd highlight the fact we have someone famous on here.

Nice work!

I had some young lad ask to sign his shirt during the Dubai Motorsport Festival - I didn't have the heart to tell him I was a nobody.

Thanks, you must be truly dedicated to be watching Showsports 4 at some ungodly hour of the night. At each national race day they do a nice half hour summary of the GT Championship, Superbikes, Touring Car Champs and Gulf Radical Cup. Looks like you caught round 3 where they show me failing to shut the door on Paul Denby who then breezes past me at turn 8 and takes P1. How embarrassing.

I must say the Autodrome have done a pretty decent job of getting coverage on a lot of different channels. I had someone calling me telling me they'd spotted me on Motors TV on Sky. Result!

However if you want the full fat behind the scenes emotional highs and lows, I write a blog on RSPhil's excellent crankandpiston.com website. The site is a must see for any motoring enthusiast in the Middle East. Phil has a great eye for photography and shares his pics with CAR Middle East where the blog is repeated.

ETA: Oh, just realised you saw it in the afternoon. We must be really moving up in the world!
