Qatar’s Nasser Al Attiyah clinched his second Dakar Rally car title on Saturday to give British marque Mini their fourth consecutive success in the gruelling event.
Al Attiyah, who won his first Dakar in 2011, became only the seventh multiple winner in the car category.
He assured himself of the 2015 crown with a third place finish in Saturday’s stage from Rosario which was shortened to only 34 kilometres due to heavy rain.
The 44-year-old veteran has also enjoyed success in the Olympic Games, winning bronze in skeet shooting at the 2012 Games in London.
