Abu Dhabi: Shaikh Khalid Al Qasimi plans an all-out attack in the Dubai International Rally this weekend as he looks to give Abu Dhabi Racing a winning climax to the 2013 FIA Middle East Rally Championship.
The Emirati driver has suffered a trail of misfortune in his home event in recent years, but will not alter his tactics to go flat out for a win as he pursues a third victory in his home event.
“I haven’t had any luck at all in Dubai over the last few years, but I’m not going to change the way I approach this rally,” said Shaikh Khalid, who will be partnered by regular British co-driver Scott Martin in his Abu Dhabi Citroen Total DS3.
“I’ve always gone for the win in this rally and it will be no different this time. Of course I want to win the rally for a third time for myself, but I also want to win it for the UAE and give Abu Dhabi Racing a great finish to our first season.”
