Have you ever heard about UEA? And Dubai Rally? The first time I saw it was on TV, and enjoy it to see that there are other alternatives than Dakar. If you have a radical spirit, a couple of friends with the will of spending some days in the desert, and of course a big sponsor. This could be a challenger before you can measure your chance in Dakar.usually it take place on the beginning of November. The total distance is about 2.210 kilometres. Less than Dakar Rally but at the same time much more tricky.
This event was created by Mohammed Ben Sulayem, that was a Rally racer in the '80's. Mohammed who has a record 14 FIA titles. is the main responsible behind the event. He has very experience as a competitor and an organiser.
The entire race is made on flat sand or dunes, no streets at all. Known Rally racers such as Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz, Nasser Al Attiyah, Tina Toerner, Marc Coma, Cyril Despres or Pal Ullevalseter.
This year rally was won by Stéphane Peterhansel on a Mitsubishi.
