Скачать или смотреть The biggest VW show in the Middle East - DubDrive GCC Recap // Jamie’s Daily VW Vlog # 7

During the Covid stay at home, I’m finally able to pull out some videos from the archive and get them posted. In today’s daily blog I show my trip to the DubDrive GCC event held in Abu Dhabi 2019.

This show is an annual event that is held by Volkswagen Middle East in late January / early February. It is supported by many amazing clubs who drive from countries such as Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and all over the UAE.

It is free to attend for owners for VW cars, and includes a large cruise through the city supported by the local police and government. There is also circuit time on the track, a Auto-Cross course, and lots more.

My notes on the video:

I'm sorry I didn't have more time to film more, and that I lost lots of footage of the actual cars. There really was in excess of 300 cars there!

The Yas Marina circuit is INCREDIBLE. Being able to drive a VW Golf R on the track was an amazing experience. I've driven on some of the best circuits in the world (Nurburgring, Road Atlanta, etc), and this was just amazing. It's also amazing that VW owners can take their own cars onto the track for free during the event.

Abu Dhabi is amazing. I rode a bicycle out to the bay to watch the sunrise, and is was an phenomenal experience - sadly I couldn't find that footage too.

If you're able to attend in the future, I think you'll find its well worth the flight time!

Thanks to VWME for the invite !
