yep, one of the fastest race on earth is in dubai, right inside our room! i've bought a present for my son and tried and tested it before packing things ready for my vacation. i remember this when my dad coming from ksa giving me this kind of presents. now, it's my turn to keep the tradition.

shots were taken from my new sigma 10mm-20mm lens. comments and critques are always welcome!

Brings back fond memories of my childhood, haha. This was a really fun toy. Thanks for sharing. :)

this ones nice...i remember my tamiya 4x4 days. :)

OMG Jeff! :D hahahahahahahahaha...

Aliw :D hehe

Those cars are quite hard to drive, honestly hehe... They always fly off the track if you don't get the speed right in turns :D

thanks guys! the original plan was to setup an oval track and test the contact points of the cars... until we got too excited and decided to build the whole track instead. pressing the button too hard will throw off the cars... pitik pitik lang on turns. guess the inner kid in me just went up for boost. :D

This game is nostalgic... I also had something similar before but it was not in the form of F1... Sadly, the contacts under the car wore out quick and the metal plates on the track were dust magnets... What would a 9 y/o boy think at that time right?! It was sent to pasture... tsk tsk tsk...

Thanks Jeff for reminding those good old days. :)

kala ko na F1 tlaga.. pero oks pa rin

nice who won

when is the next race? :D

i thought it was really an F1 in dubai, you got me there jeff!hmmm, makabili nga for christmas!

sorry for the misleading title. :Grin: try it, nakakaaliw.

I got 2 other model of these sort way way back from my dad too back here in ksa. Thanks for sharing Jeff, I still have them at home up until now. do you know that you can assemble different models of these tracks into one gigantic one? Yup yup. So lets race sometime!

Thanks for bringing back the memories of childhood. TFS.
