GulfRun is a yearly ‘rally’ that starts off in Kuwait with the cars going to Bahrain and back for the weekend (think mini-Gumball). The F1 circuit has been reserved for a friendly competition between the participating cars.

I just finished getting my car ready for this years Gulfrun; although Aramex didn’t deliver my roll bar in time. I put the track wheels (painted them orange) back on and got some competition tires. The suspension has been overhauled’ it’s now lower and tweaked for the track. The brakes have been upgraded to a bigger size and the racing pads. The engine has been serviced, added a new intake and tuning (among other surprises).

I will be adding pictures of the track, cars and random things that happen on the way to Bahrain. You can also check out the next issue of Gulfride; as it should be featuring an article about GulfRun.

    sounds very interesting!
    Would be great if you could save a few high res images and provide some text for us to use in bazaar magazine when you get back. We are always on the look out for interesting ‘out of the box’ stuff going on in the region.

    This is the second time we are doing it; almost anybody can participate (by inivitation). The site is currently being created (next years is going to be much larger). Thanks!

    DiiGMaa:
    You could ride shotgun and hold the steering wheel.. :) I have gumball in my plans too .. just give me a couple years to get a car ready. (inshallah!)

    EniGma:
    7ayach .. thanks!

    the11thmuse:
    I’ll save you a spot next year .. just let the damn thing finish already. (I have a picture of you on my dashboard).

    Lexicon:
    Carrera S

    bazaar:
    Sure thing .. we have several hi-def camera’s on hand. I will save you some shots.

    The Stallion:
    My orange rims add to the aerodynamics! And I still plan on stealing the tree of life .. we can put it in Marina. :D
    yazeed:
    Think bigger.. Mustang GT wouldn’t even get close to any of the cars, and thats before we even get to the track.

    lil bro:
    No chance.. I am burning enough race gas to cause a mini ozone. No camera in the cars, I don’t need one flying around and hitting me in the head.

    jajajaja:
    The F430 in the race decided not to go at the last minute .. the brakes were acting up.
