Rest of the pics..


This was the last race Team 930 Rush competed in 2009 and then the car was cleaned up, some sponsors removed and the car was prepped for the Dubai race.
.

Here’s a very cool video of the car getting loaded up in the container to be shipped across the oceans all the way to the land of the bling.

Such a cool and dramatic video. Even though it’s just the car being loaded up makes me all excited. I can’t imagine how the rest of the Team 930 Rush guys must feel.

And here’s another video of it already at Dubai getting some track time.

If you don’t speak Japanese, fast-forward to 7.07 sec marker to see the car tear up the track.

Here is the press release from Team 930 Rush as posted in the official site of the 24HR of DUBAI.
