DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 20th April, 2008 - Shakir Saeed got to experience the ride of his life on board the Ford Focus World Rally Car (WRC) alongside Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi in Abu Dhabi recently, as part of a recent Ford promotion.
"This was truly an unforgettable experience," Saeed said. "The ride in the Focus alongside a champion like Sheikh Khalid was thrilling! I thank Ford and the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority for this great opportunity, and wish Sheikh Khalid every success for the 2008 season."
Al Qassimi made three top 16 finishes in his debut season at the World Rally Championship and took part in his first snow rally during February's Rally Sweden, where he made history as he claimed the 'Colin's Crest' or the longest jump award when he flew 36 metres in his Focus WRC.
