 The competition is being organized by the Jeddah Province under the auspices of Jeddah Governor and Chairman of the Organizing Committee Prince Meshal bin Majed bin Abdulaziz, under the management of Abdullah Bakhashab and under the supervision of Saudi Arabian Motor Federation.

In a statement to KUNA on Wednesday, the Head of the club’s Rally Committee Sheikh Athbi Naif Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah affirmed his confidence in the Kuwaiti racers participating in this rally.

He urged them to put their habitual and regular performances in the competition so that their victory can achieve a reputation befitting the rally sport in Kuwait.

Sheikh Athbi said Kuwait has stayed away from participating in the Jeddah 4WD Rally for too long, but he is confident about the ability of the Kuwaiti racers to excel in all regional and international competitions.

He explained that 37 cars from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates will participate in the rally. Racers from these countries possess quality skills in desert rallies, which will in turn make the rally intense and thrilling.
