Fast Track looks at the Bedouin sport of camel racing held in the Qatar desert using robot jockeys before joining a pearl diver to find out about one of Qatar's oldest industries.

Qatar's enormous oil and gas resources have earned the country billions of petrodollars that are being used to invest in education, arts, culture and retail, giving citizens generous benefits. Fast Track meets the rich, young Qataris who 'pimp' their cars and race illegally through the streets of Doha, talks to the budding Qatari musicians hoping to put their country on the musical map, and finds out about the capital city's burgeoning stand-up comedy scene. The show also looks at the Bedouin sport of camel racing held in the Qatar desert using robot jockeys before joining a pearl diver to find out about one of Qatar's oldest industries.
