New Middle Eastern F1 Track

Hi All:

The track looks a bit of a yawner, but the facilities look pretty cool. Bruno Senna doing some laps.

That track layout is so-so, but the facility does look to be amazing.

Like someone said, what will they be charging for beer on the stands there?

Oil mine shares?

I met the man who designed and is building that facility on Sunday..the behind the scene stuff for the crews/press/guests is lavish way beyond anything in the states..Ferrari 's "amusement park" is totally nuts, that building looks to be about the size of Phila international airport!!! I will be very curious to see what they put in there ?? The strange round building (all by itself) you can see in the video is the kings viewing area. There are several tracks and several drag strips there as well....What a place !! Pete P.S. NO drinking allowed anywhere in the country except the hotels

Pete, I don't even wanna know how you met this guy. But those aviator sunglasses and mustache you wear do make you look like a top secret government agent from the 80s
