Aliyyah Koloc heads for the top in
Rally Raids
The 18-year-old Dubai-born racer completed a
2-day test in both a T1 and T1 race car, the
highest category of rally raid racing, in
cooperation with Red-Lined International, a
South African T1 Vehicle Manufacturer Aliyyah
to participate in a number of races in the 2023
South African Rally Raid
It was a big step up from the T3,
the race car that Aliyyah had
driven in her first Dakar Rally
earlier this year, finishing 33rd
in her category.
The test was a good
preparation for her first rally
raid event in South Africa,
scheduled for May, where she
will start in a T1 for the first
time.
For her second rally raid
event in August, she is
scheduled to drive in a T1
for the first time.
Together with the Middle East Baja events at
the end of the year, Aliyyah will have gained
some solid experience in preparation for the
2024 Dakar that she is planning to enter in the
highest category, the T1 class, competing with
the likes of Carlos Sainz, Sebastien Loeb, and
Nasser Al-Attiyah.
At the end of May another private
test session is scheduled for
Namibia in a T1 before Aliyyah
takes on her second rally raid event
in South Africa in August, this time
scheduled to be in a T1.
Thereafter, the T1 will be
shipped to the Middle East for
Aliyyah to continue with her
Dakar and dune preparations in
the FIA Middle East Cup for
Cross-Country Bajas.
As Aliyyah sums up her experience:
"I am extremely fortunate and
grateful for the opportunity to be able
to move to the highest level of Rally
Raid racing and I am really looking
forward to what the future holds."
Martin Koloc: “Aliyyah learns
really quickly. On the first day of
testing, she was a little hesitant
but on day 2 it was like she had
never driven anything else. Great
performance!
The strategic partnership between Red-
Lined and Buggyra opens up a new chapter
for us in terms of global presence. We have
jointly agreed that Aliyyah will be our official
junior development factory driver for the
upcoming season and we are really excited
to get everything underway.
