BP-Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team’s Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi secured a season-best eighth place finish and four World Rally Championship (WRC) points at Rallye Deutschland on Sunday, completing a remarkable turnaround for the Emirati star.
A stunning drive from Sheikh Khaled Al Qassimi and his co-driver Michael Orr was rewarded at the Acropolis Rally of Greece with their best ever finish in a WRC event. Sixth place for the Emirati ace is a remarkable achievement for someone who is only competing in his second WRC season.
Abu Dhabi World Rally Championship (WRC) driver Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi remains poised to add to his WRC Championship points haul after Day Two’s morning session of the Rally d’Italia in Sardinia. The BP Ford Abu Dhabi driver sits 11th after stages seven, eight and nine of the sixth round of the 2009 FIA World Rally Championship.
