The event runs from Oct. 10-17, featuring some of the world’s top drivers and manufacturers in a challenging desert showdown.
As one of the most significant rounds of the W2RC calendar, the Rallye du Maroc serves as the ultimate pre-Dakar test, offering terrains and weather conditions that closely resemble those of the legendary Dakar Rally. It serves as an ideal opportunity for teams and drivers to evaluate their physical, mental, and technical readiness ahead of the 2026 season.
Al-Rajhi entered the Moroccan round alongside his German co-driver Timo Gottschalk, with whom he recently competed in two preparatory events — Baja Sharish and Baja Portugal — as part of a structured recovery and conditioning plan following his crash at Baja Jordan on April 25. Those rallies marked key steps in his gradual return to top-level competition and endurance form.
