You're friends driver did a good job of keeping a cool head and getting out of everyone's way. That could have gotten ugly in a hurry.

Well at least he could see thru those scoop holes in the hood! Fahad, you dont have your Holden racecar anymore? Are you still racing?

At first, I was going to say "that is what hood pins are for," but then I took a closer look at the pictures and it looks like the hood ripped through the hood pins.

Just when you think you're safe from this type of event. . .

Last time we run it, I had someone to drive for my team in 2009/2010. In the past couple of years, I've been racing the UK version of Spec Miata. :hotrice:

Nothing better than +40 cars with similar performance on tight UK circuits. The series is called MA5DA. I think it's the largest single make race series in the world. We have 80 to 100 cars per weekend. They have to split them into groups.

Some of my best videos:

Croft Circuit, tight, fast, and a crash

the mini Nurburgring of the UK, it was the scariest track I have ever been to

Great videos Fahad! In that first one you were doing great but that idiot in front of you caused the wreck. That second track was not very wide and in the rain looks very difficult. Keep us posted on your racing career!

Neat stuff, man. :beer:

thanks. I am making a switch in racing for the next two years. I will start training on NHRA Pro Stock cars in the USA to get my license. I need to make the most of drag racing in the Mid East. After that, I am considering stock car racing in the US. I want to qualify for the Cup before I am too old.

Thanks a lot :)

He was doing three different championships on the same weekend. I think two races for each. Maybe he switched his focus on the next race instead of worrying about what have happened.

Here is my friend winning the second race :D

How fast can they go on that track?

[Fahad_H]

How fast can they go on that track?

If I remember correctly, around Yas Marina, the Aussie V8 were doing 1:58 and a Porsche FIA GT3 with factory driver were doing the same. The Chevy V8 where 2:23. They could be a little bit faster with better setup and a pro driver.
