YS
- Yasir Seaidan’s motorsports career goes way back. After learning and competing on bikes and quads, he became a pioneer of the SSV class that was slowly but surely developing in 2013. Racing in the Middle-East at first he went on to win the SSV FIA World Cup.
- A very successful businessman in real state, this father of five children has had several lives on the Dakar. He first competed on the rally in 2014 in a SSV Polaris. He then switched to a T2 production car before three consecutive appearances in far more powerful beasts such as a Mini (9th in 2020) and the Century buggy.
- For the last two seasons, the 37-year-old has decided to move back to the SSV category. 23rd in 2023, he managed his best ever performance on the last Dakar, winning stage 3, fighting for the win before eventually settling for third spot on the podium with Adrien Metge.
- Part of the very competitive MMP team for the second consecutive year, Seaidan enjoyed the help of another Metge in 2024: Michael, Adrien’s brother. They will both be going one step up and fighting for victory in the Challenger class (T3) on this 2025 Dakar after conquering the FIA W2RC crown in SSV
