Banker Sheikh’s son is already champion at home … in his 11th edition of Dakar after a decade of Dakar, in WRC after a decade

Who says that money does not understand competition and talent? Yazid Mohammad Al Raji (Riyadh, 44 years old), one of the children of banking businessmen and Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulziz Al-Raja, is a famous surname in Saudi Arabia: it can be seen in almost every urbanized corner as an automated cashier. Yazid has taken her to take her forward as a sports star. Being the richest in the caravan, he does some work …

Riyadh Pilot Motor is not a stranger in the world. In addition to participating in Dakar in 11 editions (it was third in 2022 and 4th in 2020), Yazid began making a name in the WRC rallies World Cup in 2008 (he started in the regional race in 2007).

In 2017, he went to Mini and again in Toyota in 2020, with the overdrive structure, with which he now won, co-form by the German veteran Timo Gotes conductor, Nasir al-Atiyah, his great regional rival.
