 NAA   

  • For many years, the Qatari pursued his two passions at the highest level: motor racing and shooting (clay pigeon shooting). But after competing in six Olympic Games and taking bronze in London in 2012, he decided to focus solely on motor racing and the Dacia project. However, this did not prevent him from competing in the WRC season finale in Saudi Arabia.
  • The Qatari made his Dakar debut in 2004 in a Mitsubishi, finishing 10th. Since then, he has won in three different vehicles: a Volkswagen Race Touareg in 2011, a Mini in 2015, and a Toyota in 2019, 2022, and 2023.
  • After a season and a half with Edouard Boulanger, the 55-year-old driver and father of two will contest the Dakar with a new co-driver, Fabian Lurquin, whom he swapped with his teammate Sébastien Loeb. They got to know each other during the last two rounds of the World Championship.
  • Nasser Al Attiyah will head to the next Dakar Rally with a particular vengeance, though he won't admit it. Because one, it has now been two years since he last won.And second, because he is still reeling from the disappointment of losing the W2RC title (which would have been his fourth consecutive title and ninth overall, counting his previous victories in the World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies) in the final stretch of the Morocco Rally due to a speeding penalty.
