Default Have a close look at Formula 1 race car !

Yesterday I have been to Dubai Autodrome . I had an opportunity to drive the Formula -1 car and also to look at these speed machines very closely. The 5.39km track at the Dubai Autodrome is one of the most modern in the world; it is also one of the most challenging, as it has a combination of high-speed straights and technical corners.Some of the world’s most famous drivers have driven competitively or visited the circuit including the likes of Michael Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve, Kimi Raikkonen, Johnny Herbert, Jean Alesi to name just a few.
