[02] TROODOS RALLY - WINNER
Qatars Nasser Al Attiyah has brought new interest in the FIA Middle
East Championship (MERC), wining the Troodos Rally, round 3 of the
MERC.
After a two-day battle in Cyprus, Al Attiyah, the defending Middle East
and PWRC Champion, scored 10 valuable points which brought him closer
to his main rival and championship leader Khalid Al Qassimi of UAE, who
finished fourth of the registered Middle East teams in the Troodos
Rally. However Al Qassimi managed to maintain his lead in the
eight-series Championship race.
Speaking after the event, Al Attiyah said ``I leave here with 10 points
which tightens the Championship ahead of Jordan and hopefully we can
continue to do well there``.
