Amman: Al-Rawahi, alongside his Jordanian navigator Atta Al-Hamoud, produced a commanding performance behind the wheel of a Skoda Fabia R5 to finish ahead of Badr Al-Fayez, who took second place, while Shadi Shaaban completed the podium in third.

The fourth round featured new and relatively challenging stages that differed from the traditional routes around the Dead Sea. The tracks were marked by a semi-desert landscape, high-speed sections and demanding terrain, putting both drivers and their cars to the test.

Despite the difficult conditions, Al-Rawahi maintained his lead throughout the rally, recording consistently quick stage times and steadily widening the gap over his closest rivals before sealing the overall victory.

Reflecting on the win, Al-Rawahi said the rally presented a different challenge compared with previous events because of its rough sections, unfamiliar routes and high speeds.

He said the team was delighted to secure its fourth title in the rally championship, adding that the event also played an important role in preparations for upcoming competitions.

Al-Rawahi said the focus now turns to future events, particularly the International Rally of Lebanon, while the team continues to gain experience with the car and work on improving its performance with every outing.
