Kuwait Rally day 2

March 13, 2011 by · 2 Comments
 

The final day was a heavy rain day but Nasser Al-Attiyah on his Autotek Ford Fiesta S2000 managed to win 11 of the 12 special stages in this 2 day race, thus claiming the Kuwait Rally and securing his fourth rally victory of the season and his 40th career win.

Frankly speaking there was no match for his driving skills or speed, the only driver that came a little bit closer was Al-Qassimi.
Finally i would like to thank Zain for giving us the chance to be so close to the action, and hope the next invitation would be a paddock pass for next week opening round of the 2011 MotoGP in Qatar ;-).

Kuwait Rally Day 1

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.

2011 Kuwait Rally

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.

The 6iq Taqies ride Losail

A small clip of a warm up lap at Losail.

Losail is a very nice and fast track, its 5.380 km in length, 12 meters width, has 10 right corners and 6 left ones with a main straight of 1,068 meters, it also has a good safe area just incase you like running out wide like me.

In 2007, the track was equipped with lighting for night races and became the largest sport venue with permanent lighting in the world, but it recently lost the title to Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

The first night race in MotoGP history was the Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar in March 2008.

There are 4 track days in April, so if you are interested in releasing some steam riding your bike or your car,check the 2011 Track day Calendar.

Me and a friend are in Doha for a track day at Circuit Losail, we arrived yesterday had Mundi “مندي” for diner in a Yamani restaurant at Souk Wagif then went back to the hotel to get some sleep so we can wake up at 6am for the track, anyway we couldn’t sleep before 3am…i guess it was the Mundi effect.
We just came back from a 3 hour track day, all i can it was thrilling and tiring at same time…we are going for a swim now.
The lady on my Bumble Bee is Jacki a 58 year biker, she rides a Ducati Monster and can make you feel ashamed of your riding skills.
