Not exactly a race but more like a fun chase on the twisting bridges of SZR.

My friend and I were leaving Oasis Mall after a good dinner and some shopping. Our other friend, who drives an EX GT, was also leaving the mall.
Actually I had to take my friend home to his camp in Jebel Ali so we didn't want to have a hard time getting to the other side of SZR. So we saw our friend drive out of the mall and we secretly followed him.
He drove up a [turning] bridge fast. I was able to follow him by down-shifting to D3 at below 100KPH. We followed him all the way to the other side of SZR. From there I overtook him.
It was a bit tough because some other cars were getting in the way so I nearly lost sight of him. When all was calm I suddenly came to my senses and asked my friend "What was I thinking?!"

This took place at around 11:00PM so there weren't many cars on the road then.

It was fun and exciting but I highly discourage others from doing stuff like this.

I will give you the answer!! You were not thinking!!

Well Everyone has done this sort of a thing every now and then. It is all fun and games till someone gets hurt. Thats what i tell myself when I start to do something like this. It has never stopped from doing something stupid. I guess i have been lucky to get away with it.

But I think acceleration is better in manual gear mode.

Honestly, I didn't have competition in mind. I just needed to follow my friend desperately so I could find my way out of the maze. =)
