About the Rally
Based out of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, the event introduces a unique blend of open desert speed and rocky technicality.
The roads are smooth and fast in places, but quickly shift to rougher, more abrasive terrain where caution becomes key. It’s a brand-new challenge for crews and engineers alike, with limited data and no established formbook.
As the final round of the 2025 season, everything is on the line – and the desert is ready to decide it.

The Challenge
Rally Saudi Arabia will be all about adaptation. Crews face wide, flowing gravel roads with sweeping turns and blind crests, but also rougher, more technical sections where precision and tyre management become vital.
Changing light, shifting sand, and varying terrain make visibility and surface grip unpredictable – especially late in the loop. High speeds increase the risk, and the abrasive nature of some sections can punish aggressive driving with tyre damage or suspension wear.
And with the championship potentially coming down to the final stage, it’s not just about reading the road – it’s about keeping your head when everything’s on the line.
