Mr Abdul Wahab Galadari provided the Citroen Cars for the Celebrity Race
Mr Galadari also owned the Hyatt Regency Hotel that was the centrepiece of the Grand Prix Race Track
He later conceded Hyatt Regency's ownership to Sheikh Mohammed as part of a Bankruptcy Settlement
Dubai's 1981 Motor Grand Prix was held near the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Grand Prix Co-Ordinator was Bunny Eastland also known as Sahar Masud.
I remember seeing Fangio, James Hunt and Stirling Moss, amongst others, compete.
Back then I was Operations Executive at Al-Nasr Leisureland,
We were involved in the organisation on this event. Many of my friends were dragged in to help!
These are the photos I have from that event.Pippa Jarman
