This week Arun joins us to discuss his journey through the world of photography, eventually becoming one of the region's best known commercial automotive photographers.
We discuss the great length he goes to understand how a car behaves in certain environments to create the most realistic and compelling images that you see everyday on Sheikh Zayed Road or inside brochures and don't even realise.
Arun tells us about his further aspirations and how a Lamborghini global campaign is the true goal, with local dealer photoshoots being more of a low-hanging fruit and something that photographers should all drive to exceed the standard of.
This week, Sultan Al Suwaidi and Wissam Hatim join us to discuss why sponsorships are so scarce in this region, despite the enormous costs associated with motorsport.
We also hear about Sultan's devastating karting accident that proves even the safest motorsports can be dangerous.
Wissam talks to us about his passion for tuning and his love of constantly tweaking to get a faster time, as well as progress on a K-swapped GT86 that he and Sultan will drive together next season.
This week Mohammed - the man behind Flat12 - finally joins us to discuss the car scene in the UAE with a focus on events, of which he is responsible for some of the biggest and highest quality across the country.
We discuss the ever-growing popularity of The Grand Picnic as well as Ramadan Drives and the long-term sustainability of running events for free when the rest of the world has been charging entry for many years now. We also recognise the huge amount of effort it requires from Mohammed and his team to organise and run such events; essentially a second job that has its own pressures, challenges and rewards.
This week master detailer Jen Mayes joins us to talk all things wrapping, paint protection film (PPF), ceramic coating and detailing with a fresh view on the UAE market having begun her career in the USA.
We discuss the clear difference between price and quality as well as the disparity of the UAE market - where a high price doesn't always guarantee a good product.
Rayyan joins us to discuss his career in building stanced cars that have repeatedly set the bar in the UAE scene. We dig deep into the real reason people take what is quite a controversial route on car building and how difficult is actually is to achieve the perfect fitment.
