"I’am a little bit desapointed because we were ready to make a really good job and extend our lead, but we scored 18 points and we are still in front. We are so happy to share the first time experience in South Africa. Country is so nice and people so welcoming that I wish we will come back as soon as possible.”

  • Nasser Al Attiyah pursued his two passions at the highest level for a long time: motor racing and ball trap. However, after participating in six Olympic Games and winning bronze in London in 2012, he decided to devote his time exclusively to cars and the Dacia project, thus forgoing the Paris Olympics.
  • The Qatari made his Dakar debut in 2004 behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi, with which he finished in 10th Since then, he has won with three different vehicles: a Volkswagen Race Touareg in 2011, a Mini in 2015 and a Toyota in 2019, 2022 and 2023.
  • Al Attiyah will line up at the start of 2025 season in a brand-new Dacia Sandrider with his sights set on a sixth title.
  • After participating in the last ten Dakars with Mathieu Baumel, Al Attiyah has decided to part company with his co-driver and team up with another French navigator, Edouard Boulanger.
  • Alongside Sebastien Loeb and Cristina Gutierrez, the 54-year-old father-of-two spent most of the year testing his new car while impressing throughout the W2RC season. Al Attiyah won his third consecutive W2RC title, adding to his five victorious seasons in the World Rally Cup, the forerunner of the World Championship. In fact, with the Dacia, which was making its first official outing, he won the Rallye du Maroc, the season's final round.
