Nasser Al Attiyah from Nasser Racing by Prodrive secured first place, while Yazeed Al Rahji from Overdrive Racing claimed second. Al Attiyah, after facing difficulties in Dakar, improved his championship position to second place. Meanwhile, Al Rahji moved up to fifth place. Seth Quintero from Toyota Gazoo Racing finished in third place, showing consistent driving.
In the Challenger category, Austin Jones and Rokas Baciuska from Can-Am Factory stood out with an outstanding performance, taking Baciuska to the championship lead. In the SSV category, Yasir Seaidan from MMP extended his lead, consolidating his position.
This year's championship has seen notable changes. Al Attiyah and Al Rahji, starting with a disadvantage, made significant recoveries. The competition was affected by incidents involving other prominent competitors, reshuffling the leaderboard.
The event was also a stage for a variety of experiences. Young drivers like Pau Navarro and Saood Variawa demonstrated their competence, while veterans like Denis Krotov and Martin Prokop faced their own challenges.
With the next race in Portugal, the championship promises more intense stages.
