Dubai newbie - loads of questions

[Fee]

Hello! I normally post in the Scotland section of PH but I've just moved out to Dubai with work for 6 months

So, a few initial questions, I'm sure there will be more!

Car rental - I haven't arranged a car yet for whilst I'm out here, but am likely to just hire one for a month or two at a time. Any recommendations for the best places to get a hire car from?
Can I hire on my UK licence, or do I need to sort out getting a UAE licence?

I'd love to get some track action whilst I'm out here .... Which will be a bit difficult without a car / tow car / tools etc
What are the autodrome experiences like? Worth a go, or little track time for ada lot of money?

I don't suppose anyone knows of a race team with no driver?! (Long shot, but you never know!) getting some international racing under my belt would be great, and stop me getting rusty over the winter season!

Cheers

Thanks all

Yep, I do have a residence visa, so will need to get a UAE licence then
Do I need to just take my UK licence (is the paper part needed as I haven't brought that over withe me!) and get to take my UK and UAE licence away?

Stan - nothing in particular. My initial thoughts were I would just get a cheap run around....but something nice would be...nice!

I've just finished the racing season back in Scotland.
I used to compete in Time Attack for a few years but have changed over to Saloon racing now, with SMRC.

I used to race a R32 GTR, but now got a Subaru Impreza



Arrive and drive would probably be the best option.....
Where is the best place to find out info?

I've seen some info about a Suzuki Swift cup arrive and drive, but it all seems to be dated - is that still ongoing?

what about the clio cup - does anyone know any arrive and drive options for that?

Craig - I have actually looked at your website already

My husband has been pushing me to have a shot of a radical. I'm not so sure - I like having a cover over my head!
I'll drop you an email though to find out a bit more

Thanks Stan. Will sort out getting my licence over the next couple of weeks and then have a look

Shirt - I've heard of Phoenix motorsport as well, but couldn't find much info on them either. Are they still on the go? And do arrive and drive?

I'll need to look into race licence requirements as well

Yeah, I know Jason from a few years ago

Let me know if you do consider renting it out....I might be interested
