The guy is a driving maestro; as anyone who knows about this race knows; winning the dakar rally 3 times is no joke; hundreds of vehicles race over 9000 kms through many countries and over some of the most difficult terrain in the world; of the hundreds of vehicles that start the race, only a few finish. Al Attiyah is a top driver that has won with 3 different teams. Hope the middle east can one day produce a top flight formula one driver too.
