A race to remember

Renowned rally driver Hasan Al Sadadi has made Bahrain proud after successfully finishing the Dakar Rally 2025 – one of the world's most challenging off-road races.

This year’s event, held across Saudi Arabia, came to a close on Friday following 12 stages of varying desert terrain and over 8,000 kilometres completed.

After reaching the finish line, Al Sadadi expressed his gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and the supporters of his participation in this year’s Dakar Rally, as well as to Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) and Beyon Group, noting that their backing was key to his success.

Al Sadadi raced in the side-by-side vehicle (SSV) T4 class in his #444 BRP Can-Am Maverick XRS Turbo RR. The 61-year-old veteran Bahraini racer took on the adventure with his team, R-X Sport, and was in the driver’s seat alongside his navigator, Marcin Pasek of Poland.

Al Sadadi was ranked 83rd in his category for the 12th and concluding stage and finished 107th overall in the general classification (GC). It was his best stage ranking of the event, while his highest placing on the GC was 98th after stage 10.

His total time in the rally was 123 hours, six minutes, and three seconds.
