00:00 Dakar isn't the only time Saudis can enjoy the thrill of motorsport.
00:10 Drag racing though pits drivers against each other in a race to the line.
00:20 I'm Suleiman Al-Hosseini and I commentate the Saudi Toyota Drag Race Championship.
00:26 The event today is in Deraa, in the Riyadh region.
00:36 The drag race guarantees immense suspense, an atmosphere surrounded by the sound of engines.
00:42 It's pure excitement.
00:49 The
01:06 goal of drag racing?
01:08 Go as fast as possible.
01:09 There's a 400m standing start for some categories, 200m for others such as the 4.5s.
01:18 It is based on engine power, speed and lap times, but also on a driver's ability to control
01:24 steering to stay on course.
01:33 In the car categories there's the V8, the 4.5 in which the Saudi drivers are very hard
01:39 to beat, whether over 400 or 200m.
01:44 This can reach 230-240km/h in the 400m standing start event.
01:51 When it comes to engines and power, there's something for everyone, turbos, supercharged,
01:54 pro chargers, some engines reach 1000hp.
02:03 I've had a good season in the Gulf States Championships.
02:06 I'm top of the rankings in Bahrain and in the Dubai Championships, so that only motivates
02:12 me even more to compete internationally.
02:21 As soon as you start racing you immediately feel the G-force.
02:25 It sticks you to your seat and makes you bounce around as soon as you start.
02:29 It's a crazy feeling, indescribable.
02:31 It's bliss.
02:35 It's a dream come true.
02:38 you
