‘Well done again ! A wonderful event and everybody is raving about it, congratulations’ Claire - Scion . U.A.E

‘The organisation of the Grand Prix itself, the quality of the circuit, the facilities and infrastructure were simply amazing, but a highlight for me was the star studded Grand Prix Ball. The setting was stunning, the organisation flawless and the food, decor and entertainment all excellent. I had the great pleasure to speak with Marissa Tomei, Neve Campbell, Jeremy Irons and Nicky Clarke, all of whom were equally impressed with the management of the Ball. I was also amazed to see Janet Jackson attending. In all honesty, it was very impressive all round and the Abu Dhabi GP could well be the new Monaco.’

Tony Keefe –New Business Director - F1 Magazine / Haymarket Media Inc

‘Was a really impressive turnout , the red carpet entrance with the photographers lined up was fab – we felt like movie stars on arrival! and the drinks reception layout was super – very cool and sophisticated. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation,- the stage looked brilliant and we just loved the tenor and the Gypsy Kings. Super combo and it was great to get up and have a dance to them at the end. ‘
