He further commented saying in fact I would like to thank Oman Untied Insurance Company for their support and even appreciate the direct support of Sayed Nassir Al Busaidi I am even grateful to Happy Performance garage and Moosa Al Suliami for their contribution to my participation in this rally.
The rally will consist of two stages in Al Dhaid and Kadra which will be repeated three times, with the prize-giving ceremony being held in Al Dhaid.
