”We're very happy with our debut with Dacia. We won the Rallye du Maroc to round off last season and clinch a third title, then we finished fourth on the Dakar when we were fighting for victory, and here we've turned things around with another incredible win for myself, Edouard and the team. We're going to try to keep this momentum going and win the world championship. I've already been to South Africa twice. Once for testing, and again to race there in 2023. I know the terrain, it's more rally-style with gravel tracks. We'll be on Toyota's home turf, but as in the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, there will be around ten Hilux and here Dacia won. It doesn't matter whether we're at home or not. We now have a good lead and the plan may be to finish on the podiums for the rest of the season. But we're working to win each races. We won in Portugal and Morocco last year, so the two rounds that await us next sound like a good plan!”

Nasser Al Attiyah pursued his two passions at the highest level for a long time: motor racing and ball trap. However, after participating in six Olympic Games and winning bronze in London in 2012, he decided to devote his time exclusively to cars and the Dacia project, thus forgoing the Paris Olympics.
The Qatari made his Dakar debut in 2004 behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi, with which he finished in 10^th Since then, he has won with three different vehicles: a Volkswagen Race Touareg in 2011, a Mini in 2015 and a Toyota in 2019, 2022 and 2023.
Al Attiyah will line up at the start of 2025 season in a brand-new Dacia Sandrider with his sights set on a sixth title.
After participating in the last ten Dakars with Mathieu Baumel, Al Attiyah has decided to part company with his co-driver and team up with another French navigator, Edouard Boulanger.
Alongside Sebastien Loeb and Cristina Gutierrez, the 54-year-old father-of-two spent most of the year testing his new car while impressing throughout the W2RC season. Al Attiyah won his third consecutive W2RC title, adding to his five victorious seasons in the World Rally Cup, the forerunner of the World Championship. In fact, with the Dacia, which was making its first official outing, he won the Rallye du Maroc, the season's final round.
