Kuwait Rally day 2
Filed under: Kuwait, Local, Motor Sports, Nasser Al-Attiyah, Racing, Video, YouTube
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 ;-).

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 Saga Continues

Our Harley, bobbers, poppers friends, or whatever they call their bikes has been bragging about how fast and powerful their bikes are, they also subtitled parts of movies in an effort to hide their failure against the Beemers and the DUCs.
For a while they won the media war on FB, so i deiced to shoot a little video that shows who is really wining these traffic light drag races, i raced them with my 1000cc Ducati Sport Classic and i didn’t even unleash all the horses…they are running 1750cc stroker engines.
The Sting Of The BumbleBee is also available in HD, enjoy.
Friday Blast
Weather is getting better and better, bikers are back to their Friday morning rides…last Friday was my first Friday ride since last year, we gathered at StarBucks Bedaa and went all the way to Doha and back, we met Marzouq and Abdulrahman on the way, Abdulrahman had a new MV 312R with an amazing screaming note, it sounded like an F1 car….i just couldn’t get enough of that note.
The ride was a blast…i was like someone who just came out of jail, very excited riding my Duc, and it seams my excitement was contagious 😉 .
Mazrouq shot some nice photos, check them out.
