What a performance - A Top 40 finish!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

We did it - Team “Gorgeous, Coast & Friends” completed the “Nivea For Men 24hr Endurance Challenge” at the Dubai Autodrome!

After what seemed more like 24 days than 24 hours the team completed more than 1000 laps totaling more than 1200km, 25 driver changes, 24 refueling stops, one technical stop and even got a formal warning from the race marshals (naughty boys!). In the end it was a hard fought battle for position and while there was much fun had, we all got our competitive faces on to try and do as well as possible.

Race preparations - Update!

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

What started out as “All we need to do is enter a team and turn up on the day!” has very quickly turned into a completely over-competitive and over-motivated race-preparation week…

It is no wonder then that it is not good enough to just borrow race suits from the Kartdrome, but we will have to have our own (naturally!), it is also not good enough to just use standard gloves… after all that could lead to blisters and all that moisturising before bed would be completely wasted!

The 24 hours of Dubai

Whoever said you can’t work and have fun!?

Gorgeous has just teamed up with some of the guys from The Coast 103.2 radio station and entered a team into the “Nivea For Men Endurance Challenge” – a 24-hour LeMans style Kart race at the Dubai Autodrome.

“Team Gorgeous, Coast & Friends” is certainly NOT the most skilled in the line-up, but we have no doubt that it will be most fun! Rick & Daniel from The Coast’s Breakfast show will join our own motley crew to form what can only be a must-see, once in a lifetime performance!
