RoadRush 2 - Girls Vs. Cars

Who said girls can't drive ?


Me and my friend MadToro were invited by the organizers of RoadRush to attend the 2nd year event in Bahrain International Circuit (BIC)


We came after they finished the briefing and started to inter the track. It was a bit awkward being the only tow guys in the track! usually it is the other way around.

Girls were a bit shy, but then we introduced ourselves as "The Bloggers" and things were ok.


Safety car started taking them into a "Get to know" lap and heating the tires.





BIC had some drag racing cars on display inside the main pits where we sit to add extra spice.




It was cool watching girls talking about braking and under-steer :/




The Drag strip full of shoes prints, some are ours, and some of the girls.. click on the image to enlarge and see the flowers prints..

















Some girls got to be passengers in the Caterham, and some chose to drive! Brave girls.



It was funny getting to know that some of them already driving manual transition. 













Then, there was the Autocross and girls were slower in the first few trials, but got better timing toward the end.






Daring is fun!


And that was Day 1..

Wait for the next post of Day 2 activities..

Pagani Huayra Carbon Edition

When any manufacturer claim to build a carbon fiber edition car, it means some of the panels in the body are made from carbon fiber.

But when Pagani said so.. it means everything is carbon! EVERYTHING!


The New Pagani Huayra was launched in Geneva Motor Show and it was the Carbon edition. Amazing as usual, Nothing as cool as this.




Thanks god the luggage were made from leather.. 


Enjoy!

SL63 AMG Trailer

The all new Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG looks so cooler than the previous model. but for me, the thrill of the normal aspirated engine is no more there.. and nothing will sound like it.















The new 5.5L engine gets 537 Bhp and that can be upgraded to 564 Bhp if you opt for the Performance Package.
It should be a lot faster since the twin turbo 5.5L V8 gets twin turbos, which means more torque. plus the car is 125 KG lighter than its predecessor.
