Dune Bashing In Gulf Region Is All About Speed
- 6 years ago
Dune bashing is a popular sport in the Gulf region.
Drivers, often between the ages of 20 and 35, try to reach the highest speeds possible, while drifting the curvy dune.
Handling vehicles well gain drivers a lot of respect from spectators. Professional rules have not yet been implemented, despite numerous accidents, some fatal.
Up until recently, fans from the region traveled to participate in dune bashing. But because of a diplomatic crisis across the Gulf, which led to a Saudi blockade of Qatar, the county's citizens no longer have access to the sport.
