Bumper entry announced for 15th Ha'il Nissan Rally
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 02 - 02 - 2020

HA'IL — The Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF) has announced a massive entry for this week's 15th Ha'il Nissan Rally. The event will be the opening round of the 2020 Saudi Desert Rally Championship and on Feb. 4- 8.
Defending Saudi Desert Rally Champion Yazeed Al-Rajhi tops the entry with Ulster navigator Michael Orr. Fresh from finishing fourth at the Dakar Rally, Al-Rajhi wheels out his Toyota Hilux Overdrive, but faces competition from arch rival Yasir Seaidan, who also steered his MINI to a top 10 finish at the Dakar. Seaidan is partnered by Russia's Alexey Kuzmich.
While the Saudi duo are the favorites for honors on the four-stage event through the An Nafud desert, they face massive competition from the likes of Mutair Al-Shammeri, Khaled Al-Feraihi and Faris Al-Shammeri, the latter teaming up with Pedro Miguel following the injury sustained by his regular Jordanian co-driver Musa Djiyerian in December.
Czech driver Miroslav Zapletal wheels out his powerful Hummer and there is strength in depth across all the car and SSV categories with 59 crews registered, in addition to Ibrahim Muhanna's Mercedes T4 truck.
Multiple quad category winner Abdulmajeed Al-Khulaifi tops his section on a Yamaha and faces Abdulsalem Al-Hamam and Abdulmajeed Al-Aboud, while the Emirati KTM rider Sultan Al-Balooshi is one of the favorites on two wheels in the motorcycle class. UAE riders dominate the section with Al-Balooshi lining up against the likes of Abdullah Al-Dakhan, Ali Al-Balooshi and Mohammed Al-Shamsi.
The ceremonial start takes place in Ha'il from 16.00 hrs on Tuesday.
The rally is running under the chairmanship of Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal and the supervision of the Ha'il Regional Development Authority in co-operation with the General Authority for Tourism and National Heritage and the General Authority for Sport.
It runs under the patronage of Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Saud Al-Saud, governor of Ha'il, and Faisal Bin Fahed Bin Moqren Al-Saud.
