Red Bull Middle East have gone and pulled off one of the most ambitious Motorsport events (outside of F1) ever to have graced the region. Along with all of their partners and Government supporters, Ras B Ras (Head to Head) was launched, with a view of pulling all of the top flight drivers from across the region and throwing them into a Gladiatorial environment.

The aim… to pit the drivers against the clock, themselves and the machines chosen for the event. As you will see from the pictures and the press release below, the event was a sporting and public success. Long may events like this continue and long may Red Bull keep forging forward. It’s what this region needs and it’s what the people need. For that alone.. we salute them >>>

Feghali claimed the title after a final face-off with rival Abdulaziz Turki Al-Faisal (KSA) on an 800-meter, custom-built track, which saw sixteen star drivers taking turns in staking their claim for the big win.
