Interesting to learn more about Dubai and UAE in general regarding the place of the automobile (and car racing) in their culture. I just bought a GT Ltd (owned by Ricardo) 6 speed sequential transmission that had seen action in LeMans in 1997/8 from a Porsche enthusiast in Dubai. The experience of buying was exceptionally pleasant and courteous and the sharing of information abundant. Something I am not used to anymore. No wonder RUF opened up shop in the UAE. These people are true enthusiasts.
