Nasser Al- Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel secure the first place in the 2019 Silk Way Rally
Off-road history has been made right across the 2019 Silk Way Rally.
The 5,000-kilometer race through the tough terrains of Russia, Mongolia, and China is one of a kind.
Qatar’s Nasser Al-Attiyah and co-driver Mathieu Baumel from France controlled the car race like no crew has ever done in an international rally-raid event.
Not only did the duo clinch the winner’s title but while doing so they set the fastest time on all nine of the timed special stages.
“This was a really good race, from beginning to end. The start in Russia, passing Mongolia and crossing the dunes here in China. It was an incredible race. We are so happy”, Nasser Al-Attiyah commented.

The racing stars, Al-Attiyah and Baumel have won every race they entered this year.
They are reigning Dakar champions and current leaders of the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies.
The pair have an air of invincibility every time they step into their car.
“When you have a driver like Nasser with you it helps a lot. We did a good job all the way at this rally and we’re really happy. To win all the stages is something I never thought would be possible”, added Mathieu Baumel.
