This Ultra-Realistic Driving Simulation Centre in Dubai Will Get You Ready For Formula 1 Racing

Drivers Lab pairs an immersive experience with real-world data and professional coaching.

Last autumn, I got wind from former professional racing drivers Dan Wells and Oscar Lee that they had teamed up to create Drivers Lab in Dubai, a hyper-realistic racing simulation centre like no other. It seemed like a fine idea, but haven’t we seen similar simulation services before? Upon launch, however, it became clear that Wells and Lee were onto a winner, as an influx of professional race-car drivers flocked to Drivers Lab, heaping positive feedback. Our attention raced all the way there, too, to see what the noise was all about.

A Collection of Princess Diana’s Most Famous Outfits Is Coming to Hong Kong Before Heading to Auction

 Deemed the “royal fashion auction event of the year,” the touring showcase will make an appearance at K11 Musea this April.

If you are one of the millions of viewers hooked on Netflix’s top-tier show The Crown, then you’re in for a real treat with your reel obsession. While the production crew for the award-winning series had to replicate Princess Diana’s decade-defining designer dresses, the real deal is on its way to Hong Kong. A finely curated collection of the late royal family member’s most photographed gowns and accessories will be on full display at K11 Musea in Hong Kong this April, courtesy of Julien’s Auctions, the famed Hollywood auction house.

“Princess Diana’s Elegance & A Royal Collection” will head to auction later this summer, but folks in Hong Kong now have an opportunity to view highlights of the dazzling collection, featuring some of the most famous attire worn by the late Princess of Wales. From 18 to 29 April, the pop-up at K11 Musea will show glamorous garments, including an elegant look that Princess Diana wore on a visit to Hong Kong in 1989; the two-piece yellow-and-navy skirt-suit she donned is up for close inspection (and estimated to fetch up to HK$391,635).

Leaders of Luxury: Horacio Pagani, Founder of Pagani Automobili

For the latest edition of Leaders of Luxury, we engage in exclusive conversation with motoring royalty, a man who needs little introduction as his name is eponymous with the masterful hypercar he created: Horacio Pagani.

His legend was built on just three cars: the Zonda (the first car he produced in 1992), the Huayra, and Utopia. Each car has been listed among the best of the best in luxury automobiles, year after year, decade after decade.

In this business, there are no overnight successes. Pagani came from humble beginnings in Argentina, long before his stint at Renault and Lamborghini. He speaks at length about his company’s philosophy, his inspiration and, as always, what luxury means to him today.

Robb Recommends: The Million-Dollar Facial at Yun Wellness that Uses Green Caviar from Okinawa

A signature facial treatment featuring Swiss brand Dr Burgener reduces the appearance of wrinkles, spots, and pigmentation—but at a price.

You might be familiar with a trending meme on social media that makes anyone over a certain vintage smirk with reluctant agreeance: “I’m looking for a moisturiser that hides the fact that I’ve been tired since 2010.” 

Pause for effect… I think I have found it.
