I was watching Bruno Senna (late F1 champion Ayrton Senna’s nephew) racing his Mercedes SLR 722 on TV when I noticed a Kuwaiti flag on the side pillar and “Kuwait One” written on the front hood and rear bumper. I tried to google what Kuwait One was or who they were but I couldn’t find any information whatsoever. The video above isn’t of the actual race I was watching but you clearly see the Kuwaiti flag on the side pillar. Anyone know who they are? [YouTube]

aaaaaaah i was looking for this video cool you found it
probably one of those real car collectors that wer have here
That would make sense since its the GT version, only 21 ever made.
Hahah saw that on discovery few days back and was also wondering!
same here, like 2 nights ago I noticed the flag and then just a few moments ago they put the rerun and I saw the Kuwait One written on the front and back.
we have the ducati limited edition sena 1998

The One SERIOUS only
Very interesting !!! All I know is this car was sold last November in the auto show exhibition which was held in Mishrif, the car owner is anonymous but he is Kuwaiti & cars collector of course.
I bet you that the car owner might be Nasser al Mohammed, there is another SLR 722 GT in the showrooom.
fuck..
why would Bruno Senna be racing a car with a Kuwaiti flag ? is it a loaner ?
The 722 GT on the youtube vid was on display at AUTOCITI before it went bankrupt a few weeks ago, Autociti is owned by AL DAR Investments who recently bought a large stake in Aston martin which have sponsered such races in the past, so i think that this is an older video when al dar was spending endless money on such things, as of now al dar is in debt of nearly KD 1 billion and is rumored to go bankrupt soon, so i doubt you will see the kuwiati flag anymore on the car
Autociti went bankrupt? That sucks, i never got to pass by and check it out!
Mark! AutoCiti became Aston Martin’s Showroom like 2 months ago.
I think the car is owned by Sheikh Mubarek Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah, who has a big collection of cars including a black SLR, a silver Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe, a black Bugatti, and a Porsche Carrera GT among others to name a few. Can someone make sure? Thanks.
Its most certainly belongs to Saoud Al Darmi
can’t tell u who they are… just can’t.
Guys this is a race car, and this race series is open to “gentlemen” racers (non-professionals). You can purchase the car in its current race configuration and its a track only car based on the SLR 722. It has nothing to do with Aston Martin or Al-Dar. This is a Mercedes Benz race series and car. I don’t know if MB will race the car against others in the GT Class with pro-racers. The car is obviously owned by a Kuwaiti and was probably on loan that day or possibly taken out for a shakedown test.
Bruno Senna = A Professional
I wasn’t talking about Bruno Senna Mark. The car has a Kuwaiti flag on it care to name the pro Kuwaiti racer that owns it.
Punky thats what the whole post is about. The car that Bruno has been driving has a Kuwaiti flag on the sides and Kuwait One written on the front and back of the car…
Kuwait one stands for a high class garage in shuwaikh, Kuwait city.
