Does the Shelby Cobra 289 include the coupe and roadster? If the coupe is included, is the ringer red one included as well?

Dubai....vintage car racing where did that spring from? Seems an odd choice but will be there all the same. Not so keen on using modern circuits for P&G.

Just have to think of it as the UK Historic Drivers Club winter outing to Dubai. So long as it isn't stuffed full of poxy chicanes I'm happy.

It's an odd duck circuit with a challenging chicane which cuts through to shorten the full track. It is quite a challenging circuit.

Please just tell me which is the fastest car.
I need all the circuit time I can get and can't spend half of it sorting out which set of wheels is best.

I'm guessing, haven't driven this track in an age, it will be the red (Wilmot?) Cobra Clive. I'd hope none of the faster gents use it, ooogh the shame, but if it brings us all closer than its all good by me. Much better choices here than last time out for me. Daytona or 914 suits me sir

I'd say the 914 should be much quicker than the rest and the L88 will be too slow. Ignoring the 914, I'd guess that the 275 will be hard to beat.

Really don't know what to think about this car groupings in a circuit like Dubai National. These are cars with really different features, and in Dubai National there are only 2 straights to overwork the power of most of them. Not yet sure that the 914 will be the car to beat here, the 289 Willment and the 275 Speciale are not so easy to pass as the L88... I'll have some troubles turning during these days, because on tuesday will start the GTRItalia championship with the faithful teammate Ayrton, and on tuesdays I'll have the other P&G championship... I'm just thinking that it's no need for me to try because I can't make this , but I hope to send you some VDA friends, in the case you miss us lol Cu!

Really ought to use this as an opportunity to up my tank driving skills (from the non-existent), but having the 914 on the menu is just too tempting. I also think the Fezza will be very strong here.

Really don't know what to think about this car groupings in a circuit like Dubai National. Good We've not used these cars in the 'off-season' yet & I picked the National circuit (which I've only raced on once, but had an excelent race) because I wanted to use one of the 'built in tracks'. The Dubai National version seemed like it would provide a good balance between favouring the Power & the handling cars... still, I could be wrong Paul is correct, the 914 should be quickest & the L88/Daytona should be slowest... but there should be just enough straight track so the gap isn't too big & if you're in a 914 that gets stuck behind an L88... good luck with your laptimes Legzy p.s. Shame on any girls taking the F275 Speciale... so expect to see me in that come race night

If I can attend, I will drive almost for sure the 914, because when it is selectable I always chose it. Once again, nice mix of cars in a nice track.

Of course you have historic cars in Dubai!
Legzy is obviously recreating when those petrol head sheiks hire the circuit so that they can play with their car collections
However I don't think I will do this one. I'm finding it too hard to get into this track and don't really like it much.
