Kuwait’s first motorcycle racing team

December 2, 2011 by · 1 Comment
 

Arab Riders racing team is Kuwait’s first motorcycle racing team, the guys has been riding motorcycles all their live…they actually don’t remeber when was the first time they rode a motorcycle but what they do remember is that back in 2008 they decided to take their hobby a bit more serious.

I have known Mohamad Al Hadad and Fahad Al Owaish – the 2 guys behind the Arab Riders – for a couple of years and over a cup of coffee we had a serious chat -for a change-, i asked them a couple of questions about the hobby and their recent participation at the Qatar International Road Racing Championship.

Kuwait Rally day 2

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.

So the 2009 World SBK season is over.

We’ve won the constructors title, the Superstock 1000 category, have obtained 34 podiums with our Superbike riders and second and third place in the world championship. But it’s not enough and we go without the “cherry on the cake”. We believed that we could do it all year and until the last lap of the last race but unfortunately the rider’s title has escaped us.

I want to thanks, however, all the members of the team and those people at home who assist us day to day. Noriyuki and Michel have provided us with an emotional season and an hour after the end of the championship they were already looking ahead to this week’s test days, here at Portimao, in order to be even more competitive next year, to win a title that we lost by just a few points this time around.

At this point I would also like to address some comments that we have heard since the final race…. Read more

Stoner claims Sepang

Sepang

And Rossi claims the 2009 world title…

On the other hand i truly believe that Stoner absences from the previous races made the job very easy to the Doctor, in the last 2 races Stoner was performing like never before…it was as if he was on a bike from a different class, the gap between him and rest of the racers was huge..and no one could get close to him.

Becuase of the rain, the race today did not have much action… hope the last race of the season be much more intresting.

A classic fight

Today’s race at Phillip Island was a classic, Stoner was in top physical condition giving the spectates a show to remember with his high speed slides, Rossi was trying every trick in the book to bypass him but the Australian was too fast and maintained the lead all the way to the checker flag.

Lorenzo crashed out at turn one of the first lap after touching Nicky Hayden bike, he was lucky to escape the crash with only a small injury to his pinky.

Rossi_podium

Dani Pedrosa gave us the usual bullet start today at Misano, but unfortntly he couldn’t maintain the lead because of Rossi’s pressure and some technical problems with his Honda engine -he said its misfiring-.

This is when Rossi came for revenge and he led the race all the way to the flag, even Lorinzo could not come near, Rossi had a new helmet today with a Donkey face on it….in italy -just like in the Arab world – if someone makes a mistake they call him a donkey, and after the mistake Rossi did last week which costed him the race he earned name was called a donkey but he decided to show everyone that this donkey can fly!!!
