Not always, it seams.

Don’t know how it happened, but it hugged a street light next at the gulf road next to the Indian embassy

I guess American cars are just like American bikes, built for the US roads only !!

This is a video we shot last year, we had a demo Aprilla RSV4 Factory, a demo BMW S1000rr and a fully moded BMW E60 M5.
We were experimenting with the RR trying to find out what can it do, so we asked our friend on the RR to stop and only start accelerating when we – me on the RSV4 and my friend in the M5- pass by him at a speed of 100km\h.
Now the thing that we did not know that the RSV4 was on the “R” mood which stands for Road and only pumps out 140hp while the “R” mood on the RR is the race mode that unleashes all the 180 horses.
Enjoy

I was browsing YouTube when i came across the Yas Marina Formula Drift YouTube channel, it has some great drift videos of local drift races and events, a lot of professional drivers like Tanner Foust, Mad Mike Whiddett and Fredric Aasbo participate in these events.

It started with me waking up at 7am -it wasn’t easy i can tell you that- !

I headed to Costa Coffee Bidaa where i was supposed to meet up with the guys, where i ended having 2 coffees and a breakfast waiting for them to wake up and when they finally showed up they wanted to have coffee !! anyway we finally took off and after around 30min of driving we were in the middle of the action.

We found a good spot at an end of a straight were the races came flat out and took a left turn almost flat out and when i say flat out i mean a speed of +200km, we were so close to the cars that at one point when Nasser Al-Attiyah passed by we were like “thats it we’re dead” we got to meet and talk to him. Nasser Al-Attiyah is the champion of rally Dakar 2011.

You can check the results here and enjoy the video here.

Got an email from Zain asking me if i would like attend the 2nd round of the 2011 FIA Middle East Championship, although we believe cars are boring -not all cars- we couldn’t resist such an event, so in the coming 2 days we’ll be roaming around as media representatives’ and chasing the rally from one stage to the other and hope to witness and shot some action.

The ceremonial start will take place at the parking area next to the Holiday In Salmiya today at 6pm, but the race start is tomorrow.

For more info please visit the Rally page.

Its a 12min video, but u can skip directly to 5:30 to watch the RR vs Atom part, but u’ll miss the Lamborghini vs Atom part.

Captured this at the gulf road a couple of weeks back, am guessing this is the first wrecked Panamera world wide.

Unfortunately -for some- its in German.
