Alongside Porsche’s finest race-bred supercars, the event featured some of the world’s most powerful and luxurious exotic cars competing on the specially designed drag strip that highlighted speed, acceleration and power.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sharm El Sheikh, spectators were able to witness the action from strategic viewing points and had the chance to meet drivers, learn about the vehicles and get up close to the cars.
At the conclusion, Porsche Centre Egypt provided trophies to the fastest three drivers down the strip during an Awards ceremony in the evening that followed the day’s on-track action.
