Oman International Rally returns to kick-start 2025 FIA Middle East Rally Championship

MUSCAT (OMAN): The Oman International Rally returns to the FIA international motor sporting calendar in 2025 and will be the opening round of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC) on January 23-25.

Instability in the Middle East forced the Oman Automobile Association (OAA) to cancel the 2024 event but one of the most popular rounds of the regional rally series returns with a vengeance in the New Year. Event officials have laid on a challenging format comprising 13 special stages and 232.39 competitive kilometres in a route of 636.41km.

The 2025 event is being run under the chairmanship of Brigadier Jamal Said Al-Tai, organising panel member Suleiman Al-Rawahi and Rally Director Anwar Al-Zadjali. Hani Shaban will act as the Clerk of the Course with his assistant Chris Hodgson and deputy Younis Al-Balushi.
