McLaren owner Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain waxes lyrical about how great his 650s supercar is as he participates in the inaugural event dubbed ‘Desert Run’.
The entrants travel into Oman and along the coast of the Arabian Gulf to the port of Sohar, the birthplace of the mythical sailor Sinbad.
The drive then crosses back into the United Arab Emirates and then up a winding mountain road to Jebel Hafeet, a popular destination for petrol heads.
If you are wondering who the Sheikh is, lets put it this way, he’s the heir to the kingdom of Bahrain. If you are wondering if he has a day job or just drives aimlessly all day long then he does. First Deputy Prime Minister.
With a busy office to run where does he find the time?
