Omani rally champion Hamed al Wahaibi concluded his 2026 FIA World Baja Cup campaign with an impressive third-place overall finish, securing the Masters category title and second place in the Challenger category.
The achievement came despite a broken leg that forced him to miss two European rounds, affecting his championship ambitions.
Competing in the Qatar International Baja and Dubai International Baja aboard a Can-Am Maverick R, Al Wahaibi gained valuable experience navigating challenging desert terrain while still recovering from injury.
“I’m very happy with these results. It wasn’t an easy season; it was a tough one,” Al Wahaibi said.
He credited the two Gulf events with improving his sand-driving skills and thanked everyone who contributed to his successful campaign.
