The vibrant Wilayat of Bidiyah in North Sharqiyah Governorate came alive with the thrilling ‘Bidiyah Carnival Automotive Challenge,’ proudly sponsored by MHD. Held as part of the Sultanate of Oman’s celebrations of the 54th National Day, the event took place over three days at Tel Bidiyah Field and Bidiyah Public Park, coinciding with the winter desert sports season.

This year’s edition was marked by exceptional enthusiasm, drawing large crowds of motoring enthusiasts, tourists, and families from across Oman and the GCC. With participation from both professional drivers and amateurs, the carnival showcased exhilarating endurance car sports and competitive events, further boosting tourism and economic activity in the region.

Highlighting the scale of the event, seven MG3 cars were awarded to the first-place winners in each category, alongside cash prizes totaling OMR 15,000 for the second- and third-place winners. Competitions spanned seven categories, including 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder modified and unmodified vehicles, “Backfire” and “Burnfire” events, and an open category with strict safety protocols.

Reflecting on MHD’s sponsorship and involvement, Mr. Mohsin Hani Bahrani, CEO of MHD ACERE, stated:
“The Bidiyah Carnival Automotive Challenge is a testament to the passion Oman holds for motorsports and the shared spirit of adventure and innovation. MHD ACERE is proud to support this event as it not only celebrates our country’s vibrant National Day but also promotes tourism, community engagement, and the love for automotive excellence. We remain committed to fostering such dynamic platforms that bring communities together while driving economic and social progress in Oman.”

Adding to the excitement, the event featured an exhibition of vehicles by MHD, including renowned brands like MG, Jetour, INEOS, Jeep, Dodge, Hongqi, and Defender. The showcase provided attendees with a close-up view of these remarkable automobiles, blending innovation, performance, and style.

The Bidiyah Carnival Automotive Challenge continues to be a major highlight of Oman’s winter tourism calendar, with events planned to extend until March 2025.
