Carnity history / ownership

[Rob S]

I joined Carnity this year and currently enjoying the drives and the helpful drive leads an members . . . . . . And I started to wonder more about the Club/Forum and its ownership / management / behind the scenes operations. 

The structure for members to develop, and also driver leads and marshalls is very clear, but couldn't find out much about the club history and ownership etc etc.

Anybody able to share a brief history?

Few points that got me thinking . . . . . . 

Do the driver leads get Paid? or is it voluntary?

Who owns the Carnity Forum platform?

It is just UAE specific, or are their "carnity" brands world wide?

There is vast amount of different car forums within the Carnity site but many are empty or have old content > what's the history behind this?
