From my Big Bus Tour I alighted at Abu Dhabi mall where I will have my shuttle to Yas Island. Finally, I arrived at the circuit, but I was dropped off at the wrong gate. Good thing a patrol unit accompanied me to the right gate instead of taking a taxi. So, here I am, at Yas racing school. We had our briefing, then 3 laps in a race prepared Clio for familiarization, and voila, 30 minutes (about 10 laps) of adrenalin rush in an F3000. This is the highlight of my Abu Dhabi tour or probably the whole trip. Skydive Dubai comes close. We were done at around 10pm and I'm worried of getting home because public transport is rare in the area considering it's late already. So, while getting my driving video at the counter, I met Dirk and his wife Aimee, who is also one of the drivers, is staying in Dubai and was kind enough to let me hitch in their rented car. They just dropped me off at Dubai Marina and took a taxi to Bur, I just missed the last train by 5 minutes though.
