What were the difficulties that faced you to prepare the car/team?

R.Mansour: As a young driving team, we lack a lot of know how, but that changed over the years. We are able to build and fine tune cars on the spot. Work under a load of pressure, and rectify issues immediately. I am glad that our preparation ended last night, or shall I say this morning 2:36am. Now I can enjoy looking at the car as it being polished and shine for the 15th Jan 2010 grid walk. But our mission does not end here, still, we start again tomorrow for practice and qualifying then race that will extend over 24hrs. This team will do great insha'Alla and makes me proud.



How do you feel joining up with Lap57 UAE Racing team?

S.Almuhairi: For me, as an Emarati, I would do anything to raise our UAE flag high up. Coming from many national & international races, joining Lap57 feels very professional and a great privilege to add in my racing career. The team had invested a lot of time and money too. So I feel very confident and going to give it my best.

What is you future vision/goal?

O.Al Owais: As you know that our Motor-Sport industry is growing rapidly. Dubai, Bahrain, Riyadh, Qatar, and recently Abu Dhabi F1 Yas Marina Circuit,  all have invested millions of $ in motor-sport to build race tracks. Unlike the Emarati UAE born drivers which are very few of us, I think thats next to invest in. We need to use these utilities for our advantage and promote the safe motor sport.  This year we are challenging the international drivers, next year I would love to race against home talent UAE drivers/teams.

How are you preparing for the race psychologically/mentally?

U.Khan: We had to build a trust within the team for the past several months. Each person knows their individual tasks. Personally, I'm very excited to see what we have reached today. Also, I am very confident of everyone ability. Our team - Lap57 UAE Racing Team, the mechanics & the drivers are all synced and 100% focused on what is our main objective. To Win!

What is you race Expectation?

M.Alowais: Dominat A2 Class, simple! Saw it last year, we are prepared today, and win it tomorrow.
