Media Inquiry

Good morning all,

I'm contacting you as a French journalist, working for the TV channel ARTE, is coming to Dubai next month to shoot a documentary about Dubai's alternative culture for a TV show called Tracks, which focuses on underground culture and sports in the world.
I can't paste a link in this post as I'm a new member but you can check "Tracks Arte" on YouTube, it will give you a good idea of what it is.

He's planning to allocate a big part to Drifting, and would like to meet the Drifting community in the UAE, and film as much as possible.

I thought that getting in touch with the Drifiting community here would be a good starting point, before to actually meet the community, and maybe shooting at some your events?

Shooting would be the second week of November.

Let me know if you'd be happy to cooperate. Tracks is one of the most popular show to 15-40 years old in France.

Best regards,

Sofiane

Hello sofiane,

Je suis français expat aux EAU depuis 2 ans et fait partie de la communauté depuis presque 18 mois. Dans votre message, il me semble que vous cherchez des drifteurs, vous êtes bien tombé, cela dit, nous driftons à l'échelle 1/10ème, il s'agit de modélisme
Je pense que la communauté du rc drift d'Abu Dhabi et Dubai est prête à vous accueillir si vous êtes intéressé !
Je reste à votre disposition pour plus d'informations.

Bonne journée
Sylvain
