Turkmenistan president races to victory in a Bugatti
The president of Turkmenistan has won his country’s maiden car race after an impromptu decision to enter.
Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov drove to the track in the capital Ashgabat in a green Bugatti Veyron sports car to watch.
Suddenly asking to take part, he changed to a Turkish-made Volkicar and won the time trial challenge.
Correspondents say the apparently choreographed display seemed designed to enhance the president’s image as a man of action.
