yes, somewhere in the UAR....yes in Abu Dhabi but not on Yas Island. Yas Island is a little over ten miles east.
In addition to my previous clue about this place appealing to a motorhead, there are at least a couple of world-level superlative qualities about this place. |

nope. btw, I hate Red Bull...though I do like bulls and I like red.
I'm sorry to keep harping on this since it would be less meaningful to people who aren't auto enthusiasts, but this clue combination is significant: motorhead & red And since you brought up Red Bull, that reminds me that Lamborghini has nothing to do with where I am. |

Sorry, I have to correct myself. When I originally put the name of this place into Google maps, it showed a place marker on the map which I assumed was the correct location and it was not on Yas Island but more westard in Abu Dhabi. Now that I was looking for better map clues, I went to the website of this facility and found their link to Google maps and it shows it right on Yas Island. Sorry.
But I would like to have someone guess the actual name of this facility/park kind of place on Yas Island and the "red" "motorhead" and "not Lamborghini" are pretty solid clues. Give it another shot. Ocm? guessed Yas Island Circuit but I'm not right at the circuit but just about right next to it. |
