So we’re in the midst of the Dunlop 24 Hour Race, www.24HDubai.com featuring touring, gt cars and 24 hour specials….. they’ve been practicing and warming up and testing for the past couple days. It’s pretty cool that there is a world-class Autodrome literally *right* across the street from our compound….. in an area named “Motor City”……amazing. www.dubaiautodrome.com
There is a small fence that separates you from the track. And that’s it. Unlike the US, where there would be six layers of security and such to protect you from yourself, or anything else. I suppose I’m supposed to be smart enough here to NOT get myself in trouble, right??
I’ve sat in front of a local restaurant outdoors on the sidewalks and watched and listened to the drivers running through the gears, and the engines whining coming out of the turns. I crossed over the streets to the fence and took a bunch of photos – frankly, I’m not very experienced at photos of race cars. I have a LOT of photos like this……
This is where the race car *used* to be just a second before!
We have tickets Grandstand and Paddock, but not sure we’re gonna go….. TBG might be getting a cold and I’m still feeling a bit “chesty” from the bronchitis I’ve fought. But it is fun listening to them and following along on the internet feed. There is always something going on here – always some entertainment to have if you want to.
Wow! Just… WOW! Camels and race cars and flat escalators and tile (all that tile!) and big furniture,and Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh MY! Sounds like the adventure of a lifetime Debbie! I can’t wait to read more! HUGS from Alabama!
LOL… Jenn, now you know *exactly* how I feel…. amazed. Oh, and tonight? Fireworks. AMAZING fireworks, just walked out on the back patio, and there they were, over the rooftops, reflected in the lake…. way cool. Oh, and they’re still racing…… awesome!! Thanks for stopping by my blog – come again!!
Hey! Tell TBG to take you to the F1 race next year! Then I’ll read about it and pretend that I was there, LOL.
Excellent idea, Karen – I’m already a NASCAR fan, (Go, Smoke!!) and the F1 keep me from getting twitchy about not getting to watch the races, ya think?? Thanks for stopping by!!
