TOTB Tour – Arabia Modified & Streetcar event hits Umm Al Quain Drag Strip
January 20th 2006 will see the much awaited UK based modified and streetcar event ‘Ten of the Best’ (TOTB) launch its official ‘Arabian Tour’ at Emirates Motorplex in UAE. TOTB is the only street and modified car competition that allows highly tuned and ordinary everyday cars to compete together in extreme conditions, usually only associated within professional motor sport events. With an annual following in UK in excess of 20,000 spectators the TOTB event is THE crowd puller of the season with more press coverage than all other modified car events put together.
The TOTB Tour Arabia 06 under the patronage of HH Sheikh Marwan bin Rashid Al Mualla, kicks off a series of events around the world that will focus its attentions on all things fast and furious, with a whole day of modified mayhem from dusk till dawn. Live Radio broadcast and special guest appearances as well as DJs will make sure the crowds are entertained throughout.
Said Lex Akehurst, of X-Sport Events, If you like your cars powerful and want to drive real fast, this is the event of the year. Its up close and personal, and makes no apologies for being one of the most outrageous and challenging experiences you can witness, if you haven’t seen a TOTB event before, prepare to be educated. All types of cars and drivers will compete together, from high performance extreme machines, to everyday vehicles. This event lets you turn up in your normal everyday car, its open to everyone car clubs and Tuners teams, along with local individual entries. Invited champion cars from past TOTB events in Europe will attend, throwing down the gauntlet to the fastest cars in the Middle East and from around the world.
Competitors will be running in 3 events, the quarter mile strip, handling circuit and a top speed run creating an even balance between big horsepower cars and versatile, well driven vehicles. Cars are usually split into classes to even up the playing field even 4x4s will have their own class. This year will see the new Sound-Off event where cars will compete for the ‘ICE’ trophy and the Show & Shine trophy will be up for grabs as well as the coveted TOTB Arabia class trophy’s and of course the overall Championship.
Said Zlatko Mulabegovic, Top Performance Magazine, when we learned about this event last year we were very excited to support it as an official partner, we believe we have a little something special here in the Middle East when it comes to the pride in our vehicles and we cant wait to show the world our highly developed cars and talent. With so many extreme motor sports events being planned at Emirates Motorplex over the coming years, we think this is the most ideal venue for the event.
Tickets and entries are available from this weekend at F1NetCafe and Emirates Motorplex Dubai, so better get in the front of the queue to reserve that front row seat.
