An idea I once had, was to make a GCC race.. kinda like the Gumball, but better :)

Say from erm.. Jordan all the way to ..erm.. Oman. That's a few days. Do thi with some supercars as well, and you have nice press coverage. :)

But back to this.. more information would be nice.. I doubt it, if it's only a site in russian, and not in english/arabic.

http://www.russianhome.com/ .......main site link
http://www.russianhome.com/news/1139678015.shtml ....about the event

I dont think the site can be wrong, cuz its official site for russian community in UAE it has info all the russian schools, shops and etc....
Also the news are mostly from around the uae.

Дубай, 11 февраля (Корр. Русского Дома). МВД ОАЭ организует автомобильные гонки для всех желающих. Автолюбители различных национальностей и возрастов смогут принять участие в серии заездов, которые будут проводиться с 18 по 24 февраля поочередно в эмиратах Абу-Даби, Фуджейра, Рас эль-Хайма, Аджман, Дубай. Состязания на дорогах пройдут под лозунгом "Стабильная семья, безопасное общество". Призовой фонд каждой из семи гонок составит 16 тыс дирхамов, которые будут распределяться между 5 победителями


Not sure if anyone can understand but heres some more info:

"There are going to be 7 races aand the price is 16k AED each race and its going to be divided into 5 winners."If you have someone who knows russian ask them and they will tell you the exact translation. :wink:

Dubai, on February, 11th (Correspondent of the Russian House). The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the United Arab Emirates will organize a car racing for all comers. Motorists of various nationalities and age can take part in series of arrivals which will be spent from February, 18 till February, 24th serially in the Emirates by Abu-Dhabi, Фуджейра, Races an ale-Õᮼá, Аджман, Dubai. Competitions on roads there will pass under the slogan " Stable family, a safe society ". The prize-winning fund of each of seven races will make 16 тыс дирхамов which will be distributed between 5 winners

I think the russian parts are places:

Фуджейра - fujeira?
Races an ale-Õᮼá - RAK?
Аджман - ajman?

Strangce to promore "safe society" with car racing.. whoever is organizing this is a good person. :)
