DOHA: Qatar’s Nasser Al Attiyah celebrates with his co-driver Edouard Boulanger after winning his seventhRally of Morocco title on Friday.
The victory also ensured Al Attiyah wrapped up a third consecutive World Rally Raid Championship (W2RC) title, with wins at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge and Rally Raid Portugal making up for his non-finish in this year’s Dakar Rally.
In the final stage in Morroco on Friday, Al Attiyah finished eighth behind stage winner Sebastien Loeb but that was enough for him to seal the rally and world title. He finished with 202 points, 42 ahead of his closest rival Yazeed Al Rajhi of Saudi Arabia.
