As a team we have tried to maintain many of the factors that made the 2013 Sealine CrossCountry Rally such a success,” added Nasser Khalifa Al-Attiyah, president of the Qatar Motor & Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and FIA vice-president for sport in the MENA region. “We have mixed and challenging terrain, very hard navigation and a good high level of safety structure.” Supplementary regulations have now been issued for the Sealine event.
