Aliyyah Koloc took a
victory in the FIA
Middle East Cup
2022
Taking place over two days, the Dubai International Baja was also the final
preparatory event for Aliyyah and her Buggyra ZM Racing team ahead of
the Dakar Rally which takes place over 15 days in nearby Saudi Arabia in
January.
The title success was shared across
the team come the end of the
weekend, with St?phane Dupl?
picking up the navigators' title and
Buggyra collecting the overall Teams'
crown.
"The Dubai International Baja was the last training for the
team before the Dakar Rally.
We still found some things which
need to be done, we are almost there
but we need to fix some small things
in the team to be perfect for Dakar.
But if we summarise the project of Aliyyah and Yasmeen in the past three years, we have had
the results, we have built a competitive car, Aliyyah winning the Middle East championship this
year, my expectations for Dakar are really high." The team entered two cars for the final round
of the Middle Ea
Aliyyah and St?phane got off to
a decent start but found
themselves in trouble before the
refuelling stop.
"The first part of the stage went really well but we got stuck a little
bit before the refuelling, so we lost around six minutes.
Then we were waiting a long
time in the refuelling because
there were a lot of other cars.
But the second part went really well, until there was a danger that wasn't written in the road
book, and I was going fast and didn't see it in time, so the car jumped, and I hit a big rock
which damaged the car a lot." Aliyyah and Stephane did get some help from Calvet and Perry
who donated some of
"We had a good, strong stage, and we
had really good pace, and then about
40km from the end, we saw Aliyyah and
Stephane and their car was totally
destroyed in the crash, so we stopped to
help them and give them our parts.
We are the back-up crew and only here for the training,"
said Teo Calvet.
For Aliyyah and Stephane, they managed
to receive additional help from the
Buggyra ZM mechanics and, despite not
being able to finish the stage, were able
to continue in Saturday's second stage.
