Rally Championship is a series of loosely related rallyvideo games, focused on rally racing and based on what is now known as the Rally GB. The series began in 1988 with Europress' Lombard RAC Rally game and ended in 2002. Each game in the series had many different front covers.
Lombard RAC Rally (1988)
In 1988, Europress released Lombard RAC Rally for the Atari ST and Amiga under their Mandarin Software label. This was based on the same rally (under the earlier sponsors' names) as the later Network Q RAC Rally games.
The game prominently featured an animated driver, seen from behind moving the steering wheel, with the road seen through the car's windscreen.
The next game in the series was called Network Q RAC Rally Championship. It was released for MS-DOS and Windows in 1996. This new version has more tracks, cars, and better graphics.
The 2015 Middle East Rally Championship season was an international rally championship sanctioned by the FIA. The championship was contested over eight events held in eight different countries across the Middle East region, running from February to November. The championship was significantly expanded for 2015 season. The Oman International Rally returned to the calendar after a seven year absence, while Iran joined the championship for the first time with the Shiraz Rally debuting in May, the last rally before the mid-year winter break.
For the fifth season in a row, Qatar's Nasser Al-Attiyah won the championship title. Al-Attiyah won six of the seven rallies he contested– the only failure being a retirement in Lebanon– en route to his eleventh MERC title overall. With his victory in Oman, Al-Attiyah also tied Mohammed bin Sulayem for most rally wins in the MERC, with 60. Al-Attiyah finished 48 points of his nearest challenger, Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari, who finished five rallies in second place during the 2015 season. Third place in the championship went to Khalid Al Qassimi, who won the rally that Al-Attiyah did not contest, the Dubai International Rally. Roger Feghali won the season's other event in Lebanon, but did not compete in enough events to be eligible for the championship standings.
The Middle East Rally Championship (MERC) is a motor rally championship run under the auspicies of the FIA. First held in 1984 the championship encompasses a series of rallies held across Western Asia. The championship has featured long-running events like Rally of Lebanon, Rally Oman and the Troodos Rally in Cyprus as well as World Rally Championship event Jordan Rally. Many of the rallies in the region pre-date national independence, mostly from the United Kingdom thus the championship could be seen as a legacy of British (and French in the case of Lebanon) colonialism.
The championship has been dominated by remarkably few competitors. Mohammed bin Sulayem is a 14-time champion and reigning champion Nasser Al-Attiyah has won 11 times. Between them they have won over 60% of events in thirty-year history of the championship.
William Sami Etienn Grigahcine, (better known by his stage name DJ Snake), is a French DJ, rapper and producer of Algerian descent who mixes rap and electronic dance music.
DJ Snake is a Grammy-nominated producer and artist who debuted into the international scene with singles "Bird Machine" and "Turn Down for What" in 2013. "Bird Machine" is a collaboration with fellow French act Alesia. The single was picked up by Mad Decent, a Los Angeles-based record label run by Diplo, and released in February 2013. In June 2013, DJ Snake was invited by Diplo to do a live mix on his radio show, "Diplo & Friends", which airs on BBC Radio 1.
DJ Snake was announced to be working on a collaboration with Diplo, originally slated to debut in 2014; it eventually released in 2015 as the single "Lean On" in collaboration with MØ and Diplo's Major Lazer. On April 30, 2014, DJ Snake was labeled as an "Artist to Watch" by FoxWeekly. He and Dillon Francis were announced as alternating supporting artists for the summer Mothership Tour 2014 with Skrillex.
Mirrorwriting is the debut studio album by British singer-songwriter Jamie Woon. It was released in Europe on 18 April 2011 through Polydor Records. The album started to receive hype after Woon ended fourth on BBC's Sound of 2011 poll. It was preceded by the lead single, "Night Air" on 22 October 2010.
Critical reception
Paul Clarke of BBC Music gave the album a positive review by saying: "Things would probably be quite different for Woon had he’d got his act together sooner. In 2007, his fragile cover of an old folk spiritual placed him pretty much alone at the crossroads between rural blues and urban electronica, a 20-something Robert Johnson from London who’d sold his soul to dubstep instead of the Devil. Today, though, he shares this space with The xx and James Blake; and overshadowed by The xx’s Mercury Prize victory and Blake’s own debut album of earlier in 2011, Woon’s music could now be in danger of sounding wearily familiar rather than darkly mysterious".
The Co-operative Group is a British consumer cooperative with a diverse family of retail businesses including food, insurance, funeral care, legal services and electricals. It is owned by its members who are democratically involved in setting the strategy of the business, deciding how its social goals are achieved and who share in its profits. With approximately 8million members, it is the largest organisation of this type in the UK and membership is open to everyone aged 16 and over, provided they share the values and principles upon which the group was founded. The Co-operative Group has adopted The Co-operative brand which is used by many consumers' co-operatives in the UK to provide a consistent experience for customers using the majority of co-operative stores in the UK. The Co-operative Group is by far the largest of the consumers' co-operatives which collectively are often referred to in the UK as The Co-op. The business operates over 3,500 outlets and its slogan is "Here for you for life".
"International" is a song by English record production duo Chase & Status. It samples elements of "The Stopper" by Cutty Ranks, who is credited as a featured artist on the video but not the song itself. The song was released as part of the duo's third studio album, Brand New Machine, on 7 October 2013. Due to the popularity of the Skrillex remix (which features on the deluxe edition of the album), the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 116 upon the album release. It was later released in the form of a video and Dimension remix on 6 August 2014. The single, backed with the Dimension remix, was released on vinyl through RAM Records on 13 September 2014.

The Middle East one day, it blew in, swept away In comes the sunshine, story turned to strange In walking comes a smile, I didn't know the day She sits down beside me, perfectly arranged Laura's gone away, I don't know just how long she'll be there Sadly eyes of pain are bouncing in and out of nowhere She wanders all around, will she make it on fries and coffee Bigger words then tears, I'm afraid of what it might be Laura's gone away, I don't know just how long she'll be there Sadly eyes of pain are bouncing in and out of nowhere And she's bouncing in and out of nowhere Ain't nobody help me on the outside Gotta make it through to the inside And I'm talking strange Ain't nobody help me on the outside Gotta make it through to the inside And I'm talking strange Talking strange Laura's gone away, I don't know just how long she'll be there Sadly eyes of pain are bouncing in and out of nowhere It's alright, she leaves it all behind We all run for the Middle East sometimes Little mind yeah can take us anywhere Escape us anywhere, escape us everywhere
