Wafi Mall has revealed that Formula One legends McLaren Mercedes, Ferrari and Honda will be taking pole position at its 2006 DSS celebrations. The aerodynamic racing greats will take center stage at Wafi the DSS ‘Extreme Motors Exhibition’ which takes place from June 24th to September 2nd.
Visitors to Wafi Mall will have a rare opportunity to scrutinise three of the world’s fastest cars side by side, including the record breaking McLaren-Mercedes MP4/21. With its distinctive aerodynamic design the Emirates airline sponsored F1 show car will be a star attraction of the display.
Appearing along side the McLaren - Mercedes is Ferrari. Formula One fans will love seeing a close up view of the team that dominated the world of Formula One in the early 21st century and achieved the most successive Grand Prix victories in the history of the sport.
Also making its debut appearance in Dubai is the Honda F1 team show car. Involved in Formula One for more than 40 years, fans can get to see Honda livery lined proudly beside their rival team cars.
Those inspired by Wafi’s F1 dream team can recreate the adrenaline rush of racing an F1 Toyota car in a specially designed simulator sponsored by Toyota and Panasonic. Located opposite Marks & Spencer, there are prizes for the fastest lap times.
Visitors can also browse through a collection of F1 and super bike racing memorabilia, all personalized by top drivers and riders. Racing enthusiasts can own a piece of racing history as this entire collection is for sale with the proceeds providing funds for the charity “Emirates Foundation” run by Emirates Airline.
Not to be out done Dubai Autodrome, has recreated a racing strip showcasing GTIs, high speed Radicals and Super Stock 600 bikes.
Elsewhere in the mall, the thrill of Enduro and motor cross will be explored along with modified race cars. Desert rally fans and Drag racing fans will not be disappointed either with two large displays to enjoy.
In addition to seeing 80 of the world’s greatest racing vehicles over the ten week period, visitors to Wafi can also take part in numerous competitions. A prime attraction will be the large six-lane Dodge Scalextric model electric car racing track specially set up for the Dodge Scalextrix Challenge. Qualifying rounds for this will take place throughout DSS. A Limited Edition Jeep and a Dodge are up for grabs in the male and female categories respectively.
Sponsors of what is set to be Dubai’s largest gathering of racing vehicles are Emirates Airline with invaluable support provided by Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Caliber, FIA, Autodrome and Scalextrix.
