Who's in Dubai?
 

I We be there the Jan 27th-Feb1 I'm going to a race on Jan 30th at the dubai autodrome meeting up with a few Audi/Porsche guys there and going to a few shops.

Any good spots I should check out?

Chris Green

Hey Crhis,
You will have a great time down there man... :D
Apart from the autodrome which is excellent you can checkout many cool places like the DXB mall where there's actually a slope for ski/snowboard, you can go to the Atlantis at the Palm Jumeirah, you see the Burj Dubai and many many more along with some great after hours clubbing action ;)!

I have a house there (at the moment I am in Greece though), and my father and my brother who live there are participating in the local Saloon/GT champioship! You can go and contact my brother (they are part of the 'House of Portier' racing team racing a Seat Leon Supercup and a Renault Clio Cup)! You will know who I am talking about... You will see the Greek flags on the cars - the seat will be the one chasing Karim's GT2(different class ofcourse) and battling for he 1st overall place :p Damn long straights .... :D

Anyway, contact my brother Alex once you are at the track on Thursday and he will tell you 'everything' about Dubai...

Cheers...
Costas

This is what makes 6speed cool ^^^^

I will also contact you Chris, as I may have some info for you.

Marty

Marty - forward me the info as well if you can. Middle East field trip for Nero starts tomorrow, I'll laugh my ass off if he ends up running into Chris a million miles from home!

Hey Wes,
Tell Nero he can contact my brother as well my friend ;)

How long is the straight section of the Dubai Autodrome?

Thanks guys, please send me their contact info.

MadSex, so you are the brother of Mad Alex :D small world! Your dad and brother are great people and true motorheads.

Chris, are you participating in the Touring Car championship? If so, with who are you driving, is it the Viper ACR?

Get in touch through PM, would be good to meet you, I live by the track and always there on week ends.

Haha scary indeed eh?! I like the second one too... sounds pissed off. With all the mod-crazy California folks out here it's a shame but we never get to see any 993s like that:(

i was there earlier this month... spotted one of these... Bought a Helmet at Dragon Mall

Brilliant Jean... anymore footage?

Hello Jean,
Yes that's my family alright... I have seen your car at the track upclose in person and next time/in abt 2 months when I will come down there for a race and some fun I will come and meet you too...:)
