The 2021 Jordan Rally got underway on the shores of the Dead Sea yesterday.
Twelve cars and competitors from eight nations will now tackle 10 demanding gravel stages today and tomorrow in the Dead Sea, Mount Nebo and Jordan River areas close to the lowest geographical point on earth.
Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah will be hoping to extend his eight-point lead in the FIA Middle East Rally Championship in the absence of closest rivals, Abdulaziz Al Kuwari and Khalid Al Suwaidi, who pushed him hard at the opening round in Qatar at the end of January.
