WORLD record attempts, challenging off-road courses and the opportunity to drive the latest cars at the Yas Marina Circuit will be just some of the attractions at the Abu Dhabi International Motor Show 2010 (ADIMS) which takes place at ADNEC from December 7 to 11.
The show will feature some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, with the likes of Ferrari, Toyota and General Motors already confirmed.
Breaking the world indoor speed record, which currently stands at just over 132 km/h, will be a focal point of the event. Professional drivers will race visitors’ cars along a specially built track stretching the length of four of ADNEC’s exhibition halls. Car owners are encouraged to register their vehicle prior to the show on the ADIMS website www.admotorshow.com for the chance to have it participate, with a professional driver behind the wheel, in the record attempt.
“The world indoor speed record attempt represents an exciting challenge for all concerned with the Abu Dhabi International Motor Show. Breaking the record would be an incredible achievement, raising the profile of the show and the UAE on local, regional and international levels.” said Peter McConnell, director of ADIMS 2010.
The world famous Yas Marina Circuit has been confirmed as a platinum sponsor for the show and will also be the venue for free test drives of some of the exhibitors’ latest models. Additionally, visitors will automatically be entered in a raffle draw, the winner of which will be awarded an exclusive ride in a high-end car around the circuit.
For those who love the challenge of off-road driving, the ADIMS 2010 will be the place to be. Al Futtaim Motors has revealed it will offer visitors the chance to drive the market-leading Toyota SUV range on a custom built course outside the exhibition centre.
“The Abu Dhabi International Motor Show 2010 is gearing up to be the best yet, with the widest range of automobiles in the Middle East on show this year,” added McConnell. “However, as these announcements demonstrate, it is much more than just a vehicle exhibition, it is an entertainment arena providing fun for the whole family.”
