UAE: How classic cars in Sharjah tell nation's history, serve as vintage time capsules
Classic cars are vintage time capsules that embody how the UAE was transformed from a pearl diving and trading society to a modern global hub. One Sharjah-based entity is preserving, restoring, and showcasing these cars as storytellers of the country's history. 'Vehicles like the rugged Land Rovers were used in early desert exploration while the American muscle cars were popular during the oil boom era,' said Ahmad Seif bin Handal, Director of Sharjah Old Cars Club and Museum. 'The elegant Mercedes sedans, favoured by early leaders, are symbols of Emirati resilience, prosperity, and evolving identity.' He added that by keeping these vintage vehicles 'operational and visible', the club was actively safeguarding a 'unique aspect' of the UAE's 20th-century heritage and connecting younger generations to the recent past. Established in 2008, the Sharjah Old Cars Club (SOCC) often conducts exhibitions and roadshows to integrate automotive history into Sharjah's broader narrative of tradition. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Earlier this year, the second edition of the club's Sharjah Classic Cars Festival showcased over 400 rare vehicles, some dating back to the early 1900's. A 1988 two-door Range Rover Classic once owned by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and a 1988 four-door Range Rover belonging to the late Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan were among some of the exhibits. Influx of youngsters According to Ahmad, one of the most encouraging trends he has seen in recent times is the interest of the younger generation in classic cars. 'I am most excited about the noticeable influx of younger Emirati and expatriate enthusiasts, and we are pleased to see that this legacy will continue into the future,' he said. 'This new generation is often drawn in through social media, family influence, event exposure, and a growing appreciation for the mechanical artistry and historical significance of these vehicles.' He added that the SOCC works hard to reach out to youngsters. 'Most recently, our summer camp provided workshops and presentations that blended history, engineering, and hands-on skills,' he said. 'Family-focused events, meetups and our annual festival create environments where children and teens can interact with owners and their cars. We also use social media to showcase restorations and the stories behind the cars in an engaging format.' Using technology According to Ahmad, one of the biggest challenges in restoring classic cars is to keep the car authentic while doing modern upgrades to it. 'The core principle is respecting the car's original design and historical value,' he said. 'However, sometimes changes are necessary, especially if these cars are to be used on the roads requiring modifications for safety, reliability, and comfort specifically during the summer time.' He said that changing technology has helped aid in car restorations. 'Methods like 3D scanning and printing, and new fabrication techniques such as hydroforming and water jet cutting, are being increasingly used to recreate rare, damaged, or completely unavailable parts,' he said, adding that online communities and forums had made sharing knowledge, and finding rare parts easier. Maintenance Maintaining classic cars inappropriately was one of the most common mistakes made by rookies especially in the UAE, Ahmad said. 'The UAE's extreme heat, humidity, and dust pose unique threats,' he said. 'Keeping cars in non-climate-controlled garages or outdoors accelerates deterioration, causing rubber seals to dry and crack, interiors to fade and warp, and promoting corrosion.' He added that using incorrect oils or failing to change brake fluid regularly can also lead to problems. He also urged classic car owners in the country to work on their vehicles between 6 and 8am to leverage cooler temperatures and reduce thermal stress.

Mercedes upbeat after binning suspension upgrade
Former champions Mercedes hope to be challenging for wins again when they return from Formula One's August break after binning a rear suspension upgrade that made the car slower. The upgrade was introduced at Imola in May after George Russell had finished in the top three in four of the first six races. The Briton finished only seventh in that Italian race and Mercedes dropped the upgrade for the next two rounds before bringing it back for Canada, a race Russell won. That proved misleading, and Russell struggled in the following four races until Mercedes reverted to the old package for Hungary last weekend and he finished third. Rookie teammate Kimi Antonelli was also back in the points at the Hungaroring, finishing 10th after three races without scoring. George Russell Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said the upgrade would "be ending up in a bin somewhere. "We were misled a bit by the Montreal win... we came to the conclusion it needed to come off, it went off and the car's back to solid form," said the Austrian. Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said in a Hungarian GP debrief on Wednesday that the car was now easier to work with and the drivers more confident in attacking the corners. "If we make a new suspension, we're doing it to make the car go quicker... and clearly there's something that wasn't right," he added. Max Verstappen addresses a press conference. File/AFP "And it's not something that was dead obvious. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the issue in the first place." Shovlin said the learning would help Russell in his battle with Red Bull's Max Verstappen for third place overall behind the McLaren drivers, and Mercedes chasing second in the constructors'. "Budapest showed that we've got a good car when we land it in the right place," said Shovlin. "And then hopefully there'll be an opportunity to build on our tally of race wins. "We had a great time in Montreal. There's other circuits that are a bit more like that coming up over the remaining 10 races and hopefully we'll have a few more highlights." Reuters

Seven-time world champion Ferrari's Hamilton still battling speculation
Formula One's August break will be a welcome getaway for Lewis Hamilton after he triggered fresh speculation about his Ferrari future with self-critical and cryptic comments in Hungary at the weekend. The most successful Formula One driver of all time, with seven world championships and a record 105 wins, has had a tough start to his time at Maranello and has yet to stand on the podium in 14 races. The 40-year-old Briton has also been sending out conflicting messages, his season a roller-coaster of highs and lows -- downbeat assessments and despondency followed by peaks of elation and hope. In Canada in June he assured reporters he was at Ferrari for the long term. 'To everyone writing stories of me considering not racing -- I literally only just started here with Ferrari,' he said at the time. 'There's no question where my head's at and what I'm working towards achieving with this team. So, there's zero doubts. Please stop making stuff up.' At the Hungaroring last Saturday, after qualifying 12th, he described himself as 'useless' and suggested Ferrari might want to replace him. Post-race, also 12th, Hamilton said there was a lot going on in the background -- without explaining -- and he looked forward to returning after the break -- 'hopefully'. BRITON FRUSTRATED: Current boss Fred Vasseur and former principal at Mercedes Toto Wolff saw that as just Hamilton being Hamilton, with the former saying the Briton was frustrated and not demotivated. Wolff said Hamilton had always worn his heart on his sleeve, beating himself up about his performances. With Mercedes in Brazil last year he hinted in a radio message that he might not finish the season, saying later that in the moment he had not wanted to continue. There are legitimate doubts about whether Hamilton can achieve what he wants -- the unfinished business of a record eighth title -- at Ferrari. He has not won a race for more than a year, not started on pole for more than two, and is enduring the worst podium drought of his stellar career with 16 successive races outside the top three.
