Meet Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Hamad Al Nahyan, who has one of the most unique car collections in the world.
He’s spent over 20 million euros building a huge collection featuring every conceivable vehicle and then proceeded to build a pyramid in the desert to garage all 200 of them.
But his passion for engines doesn’t stop there and he has designed and built everything from a full sized Noah’s Ark to a fleet of amphibious vehicles.
Dubai’s Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum al Maktoum wants to change the face of motor sport forever.
As a prominent member of the ruling family of Dubai he has used his influence and money to set up the new A1 Grand Prix as a rival to the F1 circuit.
He has pumped in a substantial amount of his own money into the estimated 320 million euro start-up costs, not to mention prize money of 55 million euros earmarked for the first three seasons.
