Nasser Al Attiyah, the 10-time Middle East Rally champion, won his fifth Kuwait International Rally on Saturday to break Mohammed ben Sulayem’s record and move Qatar level with the UAE in terms of total Middle East Rally Championship (Merc) race victories.
Al Attiyah’s triumph was the 56th Merc win of the 44 year old’s career and moved him within four of Ben Sulayem’s record of 60, achieved by the Emirati between 1984 and 2002.
Al Attiyah leads Al Qassimi in the Merc by 14 points after two rounds. The Emirati, who drives for Abu Dhabi Racing, won two of yesterday’s six stages but was unable to make up the time lost on Friday’s third stage.
