Not sure of times

Ok. You can fly from Joburg to Ab Dhabi direct on Etihad.

 

You can then race and rent a car and drive to Dubai for a few days (after visiting Ferrari world first of course) and then catch a flight back from either Dubai to Joburg on Emirates or back to Abu Dhabi again with Etihad. The only issue here is that I would like to send my bike back after the race and not sure it will be possible. Other wise I should just store it i the hotel room in Dubai and take it along when returning....

 

The flights are cheaper from Dubai by around R2k so maybe fly to Dubai to start with and then drive to Abu Dhabi etc??

Hey Garf,

If you base yourself after the race in Dubai, Dubai airport has a baggage service where you can leave oversized luggage in storage for about 25 Dirham (about 55-60 rand) per day.

facility is open 24/7

I got read the riot act by my wife last night when I mentioned the words "iron man". Maybe I should mention this event to her I know she likes that part of the world and she may just pay as well ! but then again I might just get another dose of fire and brimestone lashed at me
