Default you got to see this!

so Renault did their thing that they do every year to collect money, doing a roadshow , they already did it in Brazil, India and now in Dubai

they were preparing a number of drag races to be run with the '08 F1 car the R28.

the driver of the F1 car is multiple middle eastern rally champion Mohammed Ben Sulayem, but i guess this is like giving Boeing 747 to an f-16 driver.

so here is how it started , and ended up

You meant give a F-16 for a 747 driver right?

I get what you are saying though.
