We first got wind of the 2010 Lexus RX’s imminent launch when I and my PR buddy did the rounds of ad agencies a few months ago, trying to get advertisements for this website.

Renault was pulling off a publicity stunt at the Dubai Autodrome, where Mohammed Bin Sulayem was going to drive a Renault F1 car in straight-line drag-races against various supercars one after the other. We didn’t attend because it was simply a cheesy publicity stunt, but as soon as Bin Sulayem hit the track against a Ford GT, the car promptly spun out into the wall along the pit-lane, and a wheel came off from the crash. A Renault statement apparently says the car is “lightly damaged” and he is fine. More here.
