I love your F1 photography and insight on the behind-the-scenes goings-on, but I REALLY love your vlogs in this style showing us around the cool places you go visit!
If anybody wonders if Kym has gone too local during his stay abroad, standing in the desert holding the falcon says it all. 😂 Give him another week and he'll have the bird trained to squawk "Stay passionate!" 😂😂😂 (I must say that you do like very well dressed in the outfit.)
Your platform is huge Kym, love it, from F1 to airline reviews to sightseeing. It’s great, keep the diversity going mate, it attracts a varied audience and people will always choose to watch if they don’t like but I love the diversity and humour of your posts 💯💯💯. Gold mate
I would find it very interesting if in every country you go to this year you would try out local food from a local restaurant. You could even ask a local person on the street at what restaurant local people eat
Kym, Brilliant exactly what F1 has always been missing go to this country that country but never see the country just the track do this in every F1 country please you are on to a winner Paul C
Awesome video and that food looked really appetizing amazing to see how other cultures are thanks so much for taking the time to document ur travels very enjoyable to watch !!!!
Great video Kym, loving your content! The true professional makes it look easy, but it's clear how much effort you put in behind the scenes. Greatly appreciated.
Bringing back so many memories of my times in Bahrain. I was in the RAF and spent 6 or 8 weeks at a time 3 or 4 times a year. Visited a kart track one time for a day out and a race with my other Raf mates, not at the F1 circuit as that had not been built back them. Plenty of time visiting the souks and bartering, had a suit made for not a lot of money and picked up gold jewelry when the Americans where not around as got better prices then.
solid!! I second most of the comments here. Make this a series and take us with you when exploring as well! Love the photography related content, but mixing it with this will be awesome! Thank you for your tour kind sir.
The Tree of Life! I lived in Bahrain in '96. When I went there, there was not camps and the tree was guarded by a soldier with a shotgun! Hahaha Great video Kym.
Kym, Totally Luv this BTS content. Thx for taking us along. How are the rooms where you're staying - what's that cost? F1 2024 - can Ferrari, McLaren or AM give RB a good run this yr? All the Very BEST to u & ur family. Let's Go!!! Cheers from Vancouver, Canada:-)
So, you're gonna eat more local food this season? Well, I can't wait for you to try our Dutch haute cuisine! Boerenkool met worst, zuurkool and erwtensoep. Don't let people fool you in only eating frikandel and kroket from the well known FEBO. Good luck!
Kym love these vids It brought back many memories for me Late 2000s I worked in KSA and DXB and on Wednesday afternoons would leave Riyadh and drive to Manama so we could drink some nice wine and have a few beers which we weren’t allowed to in Riyadh but don’t tell anyone we actually managed to do it in Riyadh to The drive was madness. The speed people travelled across the desert to get to Bahrain was amazing and dangerous. Love the food put on too much weight as it’s too hot to do a lot of external exercise Love you keep up the great work. Looking forward to the Grand Prix Jeddah as well. I spent a lot of time in Jeddah, much better on the water than Riyadh Have fun for you I think that’s second nature😂
So fascinating seeing a Ford Bronco all the way over there in the Middle East. Pretty cool. Also that Luke's Diner food truck at 8:08 is wild! My wife loves Gilmore Girls.
Kym your videos are s enjoyable! as a Formula 1 enthusiast, you make us discover a new facet of this industry. thank you for sharing these experiences with us. And he chose kart #4... 👀 makes you wonder who his favorite driver is...
KIM ! ! ! watch this, (you'll love it) You need a new camera ! 👍👍👍 All the best for this coming season by the way, Looking forward to your coverage....
7:20 I recently bought the exact same pair of shoes, ON cloud 5-waterproof. I absolutely love them so far… I can put 25,000 to 30,000 steps a day at work, and I live in a wet climate (pacific north west US) ao these shoes are perfect. They’re so great I’m actually going to get another pair 😂 …for backup ;) Great video as always Kym!
Great video Kym! Fyi your videos haven't been showing up in my subscription lists for some reason. If it's just me, no problem, but wanted to make sure RUclips isn't messing your channel up!
Kym you gotta go to casa mexicana for some good Mexican food, the chef there is super nice. If you want Indian you should go to to asha’s in the city center mall. Also bh has the best cinema popcorn I’ve ever tried, super fresh mix of caramel and salt.
And my friend, that's why every year we read about record breaking profit for company such as BP, Aramco, Chevron etc, etc! somebody/company is making a lot of profit from .37/liter there to 1.80/liter in UK or $3.12 per liter in HK
In March 2020, at the start of Covid and using grocery store discounts, I bought gas for 14 cents a gallon in Texas, plus the 2% credit card discount. There are always ways to save.
I reckon you’ll find fuel is cheaper than water in Australia as well if you use the same container size in your example purchased singly at a servo. 😂 Love your work though!!
From the title alone, you know this video is going to be good! (Note to editor: this should be a series, where every one of these types of Kym's videos starts with "Crazy stuff I did in...".)
1:36 is it just me or does that changing room at the karting track look like that one from that one Aarava Geoguesser video. like if you know what I mean

Kym, make this into a series.
What to do in every city F1 visits this year.
If I have time I will be doing something similar on my travels
Think Kym said it, he would rarely have time. Maybe a day or two really.
I always enjoy the "stay passionate" from random people at the end.
9:58 "No no no, thats not good" 🤣🤣🤣
I love your F1 photography and insight on the behind-the-scenes goings-on, but I REALLY love your vlogs in this style showing us around the cool places you go visit!
Glad you like them!

can't wait for this weekend's reports
Lots of content inbound!
Absolutely enjoy watching your videos, especially the flight accommodations. love seeing how the other half lives.. keep'em coming
This was a really good video Kym, great substance, authentic travel and food that we don’t usually see, more like this please, less of the click bait
Amazing video!
Kym, great job, Thanks!!!!
I absolutely love Bahrain!!!
Another great video Kym, thanks! I lived in Baggrain for 7 years from 2006-2012 ...... brings back good memories!
Lovely having you on the Island Kym, really happy we got to give you and Jace a taste of falconry and some desert fun. The thoub suits you.
It has been a very memorable time thus far!
That was great fun to watch. Thanks for taking us along while you had fun away from the track!
It was nice having some time to explore a country we race in!
Your platform is huge Kym, love it, from F1 to airline reviews to sightseeing. It’s great, keep the diversity going mate, it attracts a varied audience and people will always choose to watch if they don’t like but I love the diversity and humour of your posts 💯💯💯. Gold mate

I went to Bahrain to watch the season opener last year and saw you taking some pictures at turn 1! Good luck this weekend 👍🏻
Absolutely Brilliant as usual..Thank you..
FABULOUS VIDEO!
Kym, Brilliant exactly what F1 has always been missing go to this country that country but never see the country just the track do this in every F1 country please you are on to a winner Paul C
Awesome video and that food looked really appetizing amazing to see how other cultures are thanks so much for taking the time to document ur travels very enjoyable to watch !!!!
Another great vlog.. F1 photographer extraordinaire , Aircraft travel cognoscente and NOW local travel dining and shopping consultant !! Cheers !
So many hats
Peregrine falcon!! Awesome hunters!! Always the choice of royalty
They were amazing to watch
Looks like lots of fun. Your smile at the end of the video when they are helping you with the head piece (I missed the name) is fantastic 😂
@kym illman, the headdress surprisingly looks really good on you.
Great video Kym, loving your content! The true professional makes it look easy, but it's clear how much effort you put in behind the scenes. Greatly appreciated.
Kym's stepping it up! What a talented man!

I love your videos. Really great. It's just like I'm there as well.
Nice one shaikh Kym! Il pass you another list for next year’s trip mate
Also glad Rashid showed you around town.
Fantastic local experience! As others have said, please do more of these when you have time throughout the year. Love you guys!
That is the plan, although more double and triple headers makes it very hard this year!
It was a delight to spot you in drive to survive season 6. I heard you speaking to Zak brown and daniel ricciardo.
I’ve been receiving lots of messages
Fantastic video Sir. It was quite a hoot to watch.
This was great! I could not stop laughing at the Falcon segment. A charity Karting race with Kym and some retired F1 drivers would be great.
The Tree of Life! I lived in Bahrain in '96. When I went there, there was not camps and the tree was guarded by a soldier with a shotgun! Hahaha Great video Kym.
Excellent video. I'm a longtime subscriber and your content is always top-notch.
Much appreciated!
Kym,
Totally Luv this BTS content. Thx for taking us along.
How are the rooms where you're staying - what's that cost?
F1 2024 - can Ferrari, McLaren or AM give RB a good run this yr?
All the Very BEST to u & ur family.
Let's Go!!!
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada:-)
You can see the room on RUclips video about travelling Emirates first for the price of economy. I posted it last week.
Quite impressed by your editing and impromptu comments. You got the talent!
So, you're gonna eat more local food this season? Well, I can't wait for you to try our Dutch haute cuisine! Boerenkool met worst, zuurkool and erwtensoep. Don't let people fool you in only eating frikandel and kroket from the well known FEBO. Good luck!
I will have to give it a try!
Your videos are next level. Loved the Falcons.
The falcons were amazing to watch
brilliant
Just awesome these videos
Living the dream mate 👍
You're in Drive to Survive a lot in the latest season....
It would appear that way!
You are like an Aussie Alan Wicker. Keep up the good work. You look like you are in your element?
Kym love these vids It brought back many memories for me Late 2000s I worked in KSA and DXB and on Wednesday afternoons would leave Riyadh and drive to Manama so we could drink some nice wine and have a few beers which we weren’t allowed to in Riyadh but don’t tell anyone we actually managed to do it in Riyadh to

You need a new camera ! 👍👍👍
All the best for this coming season by the way, Looking forward to your coverage....
Great Content Love it....

Kym - this is an absolutely PRIMO video! Thank you and Jace for this very much!
Funny the bot copying your comment got the reply from Kym 😂
@Pastronomer69 Wow. Just wow. (added: it looks like the bot's post has been removed - which is good!)
The next travel man 😂
The bird was looking around like "Sorry, I'm cameras shy...what do I do with my wings"
great stuff, 👍👍
Thanks 👍
More travel vlog plz!! Then I can convince my wife to go to a GP with me.
My best RUclipsr!
"You look like a sheikh already" hahahaha.

Love your series Kym. Keep it up. Remember to bring your own cutlery in the future. Food doesn't taste as good eaten with plastic.
Loved the video Kym!
Very happy to hear
I use to live in Oman so it sort of felts very familiar especially the Heat, 4WDs and super cheap fuel prices and food. @@KymIllman
Kym you gotta go to casa mexicana for some good Mexican food, the chef there is super nice. If you want Indian you should go to to asha’s in the city center mall. Also bh has the best cinema popcorn I’ve ever tried, super fresh mix of caramel and salt.
Hi Kym, I think you should ask Fernando if he would take you to his Karting school for a few laps.
Another great video
Sheikh Kym bin Illman 😅
LOL ! That's perfect! 🤣
Thanks Kym
Thanks for watching!
Haji’s is an institution in Bahrain. One of the best in the Middle East for breakfast.
Kym leaves track limits, 5s penalty to Oc- okay that's overplayed lol
Maybe I'm hungry too but Bahrain food looks absolutely delicious!
@Kym IIlman ..crazy stuff?..in bahrain?..but it's so contradictory..it's like north and south ..it's like west and east so far😉👋
i hope you this for every round
“winter, summer, summer and summer”😂😂
And my friend, that's why every year we read about record breaking profit for company such as BP, Aramco, Chevron etc, etc! somebody/company is making a lot of profit from .37/liter there to 1.80/liter in UK or $3.12 per liter in HK
4:10 what do you mean? I love the taste of coffee haha
Kym said to the bird "Lights on and away it goes"
half hour is a good work out
Looks good Kym. Food looks very nice.
$0.32 cents per litre 😮😮😮😮😮 In Wagga Wagga NSW today Unleaded 91 is 188.7 cents/litre
Not much better in Perth
In March 2020, at the start of Covid and using grocery store discounts, I bought gas for 14 cents a gallon in Texas, plus the 2% credit card discount. There are always ways to save.
8:08 - Luke's? As in the Gilmore Girls' Luke? Was Gilmore Girls such a big thing in Bahrain?
Just got back from Meat Moot and agree that the lamb shoulder was excellent…
Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun
Wow. Bahrain is where to enjoy your vices in the Middle East if you don’t want to go to Thailand or London 😱😱😱
Late 80's - early 90's gasoline prices in the Hartford CT area. .98 cents a gallon.
so cool
It’s an interesting place!
allways great I am enyonig all the time
I reckon you’ll find fuel is cheaper than water in Australia as well if you use the same container size in your example purchased singly at a servo. 😂
Love your work though!!
❤
The right size at the end 😝😂
>Sees Kym wearing On Sneakers
Ah....a fellow man of culture......
How heavy is that black headband? I guess heavy enough not to blow off…
From the title alone, you know this video is going to be good!
(Note to editor: this should be a series, where every one of these types of Kym's videos starts with "Crazy stuff I did in...".)
بحرين 🇧🇭
1:36 is it just me or does that changing room at the karting track look like that one from that one Aarava Geoguesser video. like if you know what I mean
Kym, would you be willing to use banknotes from your travels as a giveaway prize? I personally would love a 1/2 dinar with the circuit as a prize
Bro also went to Tabreez.
Khym Illmansoor!
Totally F1 prices. I am sure after the Race, everything goes down 50%.
No way the photographer from Drive to Survive is real OMG
He certainly is!
I will start call you Syeikh Kim after Bahrain & during Saudi race
Lol Im passionate
Did I spy you in Season 6 of DTS, Kym?
You sure did
@@KymIllman ah thought so!
