There's a song that aspires to stadium-rock. Doesn't say much about F1, more about the aspirations of the composer, but it uses their strapline and it's something you can sing along too. "Wind in my hair" is a bit ironic if you know Na-der :)

The track that takes me to BIC and makes me see the cars screaming around the circuit, though, is Discal's amazingly slick DnB track. So polished, so good. It tastes of speed and control, dontcha think? You can imagine it working for the slo-mo re-runs too :)

I don't really buy the "culturally related" criticism. Wheeling in a bit of Arabian percussion and sticking it into a piece of music doesn't create the Arabian experience. It's something that non-Arab advertisers often try - which says a lot. And F1 is a global phenomenon - nothing particularly Arab about it.

If a song's what's needed, then Na-Der takes the prize, but for sheer musical accomplishment, then the Discal brothers have it, IMO.

Beautiful work everyone! My only comment is that ...

Beautiful work everyone!

My only comment is that all the songs are not culturally related and I don’t mean using the Arabic language in the lyrics, I think singing in English fits the purpose very much.

But I was hoping to hear some introduction of Arabic instruments or something similar to that. It was only Na Der who introduced beautiful Arabian percussion right after the chorus.

I seriously don’t think the winner should go to a world-class studio after that, those tracks were finely produced!

Great effort guys and what a fantastic concept... Well done everyone involved.

But I'm surprised with the selection. There is only ONE song here that I could see performed at such a big stage and has international appeal.

Still, good work from all the musicians.

But I am interested in putting a story detailing the response to the competition.

Pretty Good! We've gotten about 2 tracks in so far, 7 people who have confirmed they will be submitting tracks, and a few others who might be as well... Might make a compilation CD out of this! We've also got a few other surprises lined up, so if you haven't already started working on a track, trust us, you should be!

Good luck everyone!
