Oman’s Abdullah al Zubair ready for Qatar Rally

2 Feb 2025

Muscat – Omani rally driver Abdullah al Zubair and co-driver Taha Soomar will be in high spirits when they compete in the second round of the Middle East Rally Championship2 in Qatar this weekend.

Al Zubair secured victory in MERC2 at the opening round in Sohar and heads an impressive field of Subaru and Mitsubishi drivers chasing showroom class honours.

Al Zubair will sit behind the wheel of a Subaru Impreza (N14), which he drove in the first round in Oman, in which he also won the Best Omani Driver award.

Al Zubair had previously announced his participation in all rounds of this season.

“We have ample information about it and we have the ambition to put in a tough fight. We gained invaluable experience in the Oman International Rally through the stages of the Suhar Rally. We faced some problems there, but we are trying first and foremost to reach the finish line safely, and we hope to succeed in eventually reaching the podiums if possible. I have a distinguished navigator who has participated in many races and we wish the rest of the competitors success.”

“I thank ARA Petroleum for their support and hope to put in a good fight.”
