Karting
 
Dubai Autodrome offer a 2 hour corporate event for up to 30 people, with a set itinerary including practice sessions, qualifying session, Semi final of 10 laps, final of 12 laps. Cost is AED 6,500 for the event plus AED550 per person. Evening sessions are available under floodlights, so should be a bit cooler!
If we get enough interest, we could make this the BE First Annual Karting Competition, obviously the more people the better. We could club together for trophies - Overall Winner, Best male, Best Female and an old tyre for the person with the slowest lap time ever!

You up for this Inse?
So far, myself, Coxy, SYB - Can we put you down
It's not serious, just a laugh and a good night out - again.
Karting session followed by copious amounts of Alcohol no doubt! Nearest drinking hole would be the ranches golf club - bunch of posh gits over there wouldn't know what hit them if the tribe of vagabonds turned up. Would be worth having a night out over there just to get banned for life!

Count me in I've done it before at the Auto Drome, be prepared for a stiff back, the karts really uncomfortable.

As for the helmets very smelly, take your own
