GulfRun car show at Marina Crescent

Gulfrun Car show was organized this weekend by Pro Vision at marina crescent as a part of the annual event Gulfrun where Kuwaiti drivers rent the Bahrain international circuit (F1 track) to race and compete in a regulated and safe environment.

The idea of the event is very noble, it gives sports cars enthusiasts the chance drive as fast as they possible can without any risk. I hope that someday ( soon ) there will be a decent track here in Kuwait to make it easier for everybody else to do the same.

You can find some more pictures I took in the car show in this flickr Set.
