A sport race is a competition of speed, against an objective criterion, usually a clock or to a specific point. The competitors in a race try to complete a given task in the shortest amount of time. Typically this involves traversing some distance, but it can be any other task involving speed to reach a specific goal. In Uae, offroad racing runs its own class structure and has a multiple-round national championship. Its flagship event, the two day, is a stand-alone international endurance race which is currently held every other year.

Born in 1977 in India, graduate from Calcutta University, Joy Dasgupta works and lives in UAE for last 7 years. He is already associated with some professional photographic association for past few years. Photography is a totally different world for him, it’s so beautiful that he forget all the bad times He had in his life. Joy likes to meet new people, and wants to know how they see the world. He often looks at the photographs taken by other people and trying to learn from it. He hasn’t pursued any course that taught him photography, but in his opinion, “if you believe in yourself that you can do it, then you surely can, it’s all about how you frame it. It’s always simple to make your own perspective in both life and photography.” Joy also believes photography is a passion, which gives him immense joy and satisfaction. Learning this amazing art and using the 3rd eye is part of his life. He is inspired by some of the greatest masters of this art and wishes to absorb a droplet a day of their thought, and challenges himself to be better at his skills every new moment that arrives. Joy loves his family a lot, and likes to have them around, because of their constant support, who are always there for him no matter what they are, photography enthusiasts or not.
