There was actually a big Kyosho event held at a custom built track in the heart of a Park in Dubai a few years ago (I was still in the UK) but when one of the Sheikhs got beaten by somebody with a little bit of talent from overseas, he spat his dummy and closed it down. ... apparently it's still there but nobody can use it and it's just a wreck of a place now. ...... bizarre.
That's the rumour I heard but I can fully believe it. Some locals from Dubai travelled down to Muscat when I built the 1st on road track here in 2011... they had all the best equipment and were full of name dropping and stories of regular TITC and other globetrotting escapades. .... when I beat them all they started being really negative (and I am no Ronald Volker)....we never saw them again. .... that's the mentality of some I'm afraid...... like the small group of awkward racers we get at every club but just wealthier and more spoilt.
Rant over I love it here just miss my racing. .... that's the main reason why I now get my rc fix from vintage restorations I reckon.
Didn't mean to hijack your thread Alcyon sorry. .... next project is an off road track which I hope will kick start some racing here.....3rd time lucky maybe?? After all I persuaded them to invest in the top of the line AMB/MyLaps system which is sat idle now.
