The final day was a heavy rain day but Nasser Al-Attiyah on his Autotek Ford Fiesta S2000 managed to win 11 of the 12 special stages in this 2 day race, thus claiming the Kuwait Rally and securing his fourth rally victory of the season and his 40th career win.

Frankly speaking there was no match for his driving skills or speed, the only driver that came a little bit closer was Al-Qassimi.
Finally i would like to thank Zain for giving us the chance to be so close to the action, and hope the next invitation would be a paddock pass for next week opening round of the 2011 MotoGP in Qatar ;-).

It started with me waking up at 7am -it wasn’t easy i can tell you that- !

I headed to Costa Coffee Bidaa where i was supposed to meet up with the guys, where i ended having 2 coffees and a breakfast waiting for them to wake up and when they finally showed up they wanted to have coffee !! anyway we finally took off and after around 30min of driving we were in the middle of the action.

We found a good spot at an end of a straight were the races came flat out and took a left turn almost flat out and when i say flat out i mean a speed of +200km, we were so close to the cars that at one point when Nasser Al-Attiyah passed by we were like “thats it we’re dead” we got to meet and talk to him. Nasser Al-Attiyah is the champion of rally Dakar 2011.

You can check the results here and enjoy the video here.
