Formula DXB

Caffeine and Machine was on again and a special mention goes to the French toast breakfast beforehand…it was delicious. A fantastic collection of cars were at the show and the standouts for us were the 15 window bus and the somewhat “subtle” 240Z….followed by the Lamborghini GT of course.

Special mentions should go to the ultra rare Ferrari F50(one of only 4 in black) and the uber cool chopped and slammed Caddy. Many of the local garages also had their doors open and we noticed something a little unique at the back of Nostalgic Classic Cars.  A 1988 Lamborghini 4x4. Only 300 produce and beauty was definitely in the eye of the beholder for this one.

We also had something a little different organised for the rest of the day…some track time with Formula DXB, an ultra-light single seater race car with 180BHP and 4.6 sec 1-100Km/h.

With great power to weight ratio and sticky slicks it was quite a handful around the 1.2km oval circuit, made even more challenging with the sand on the track. You really had to keep your wits about you exiting the apex on full noise and you definitely felt the G’s.

What a fun day and hope you enjoy the shots.
