On a continent where the passion for motor sport is stronger than ever, the FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC) opens up an exceptional playground for rally drivers and teams on terrain as varied as the sand deserts of the Arabian Peninsula to the overheated tarmac of Lebanon.
The series has been held since 1984 and visits five countries in 2019: Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Cyprus and Kuwait.
Qatari Nasser Al-Attiyah has competed in the FIA Middle East Rally Championship since 2003 and equalled Mohammed bin Sulayem’s record of fourteen title wins in 2018, when he placed his Ford Fiesta R5 on the top spot of the leaderboard.
The following titles are awarded:
- FIA Middle East Rally Championship for Drivers and Co-Drivers
- FIA MERC 2 for Drivers and Co-Drivers
- FIA MERC 3 for Drivers and Co-Drivers
- FIA MERC Junior Championship for Drivers
