January 2010, the Dubai 24H race brought me to the UAE. To document the Need For Speed team’s 997 GT III cup car with the Speedhunters team. Dubai is an juxtaposition of eastern and western cultures. As a center of tourism, Dubai is a playground for western tourists. While also being rooted in its arabic traditions.
Half completed buildings are everywhere. This view was from outside of my hotel window.
Getting to Dubai was a mess, I flew through London Heathrow. London does not know how to deal with a little bit of snow. The inch of snow delayed my flight to Dubai by half a day.
The race was held at the Dubai Autodrome. Which was still under construction in parts.
The Petronas BMW Z4′s laid down impressive lap times all weekend.
The Burj Khalifa, tallest building in the world. Directly located across from the Address hotel – where we stayed.
Looks similar to a spaceship huh?
The view from the top of the Burj Khalifa.
Did I mention that the world’s largest fountain show is underneath the Burj Khalifa.
I also happened to find the world famous Wendy of the Dave Thomas fame. She was rocking the picked out look.
Good times in Dubai. Stay posted for my edit from the Dubai 24H race.
