And we are off once again.
The highly anticipated Rally Jameel is coming this week and it is sooner than you think.
The fourth edition of the all-women off-road navigational charge will run for a week and bring some jaw-dropping sights and heart-stopping maneuvers.
The first-women-only navigational rally in the Middle East, the event is hosted by Jameel Motorsport, the racing arm of Abdul Latif Jameel Motors (Toyota’s official Saudi partner since 1955).
The rally is revved up with support from the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF) and the FIA Women in Motorsport Committee—making it a bold, backed, and turbo-charged celebration of women in motorsport.
