Anyone else at the Dubai Motordrome 24 hour on now?
Discussion
Mods, sorry, just realised what I've done, Any chance of relocating this to General Motorsport? My fault, I'm knackered!
Tried to do this last year but it was cancelled at the last minute. Got here very early on Friday morning and watched some of the qualifying during the day. Went back today for the start at 1pm and stayed for about 40 laps until the first shunt followed by an extended safety car period. Went back in at about 10pm to find both R8s and the Supra missing among others, but Kalle Rovanpera in the Porsche still in the mix. 911s appear to be the weapon of choice for a significant percentage of the field, but there are a couple of Lamborghinis, a couple of Astons and Merc SLSs, Corvettes a Ginetta and a Holden entered by an Aussie team. Also in the lower classes, some BMWs, a Cayman, and a couple of Seats, and something I can't place that looks like a shrunken early Zonda. 3 classes in all, 60 on the grid.
Great track, a bit atmos free compared to the likes of Spa, but glad I'm doing it. I'm staying with a mate who's working out here for a while, a half mile away from the track. I'm sitting on the balcony as I type this listening to the racket! Brunch mid morning tomorrow, then back in for the finish. The weather is a breath of fresh air after Newcastle and it's snowy threat.
