The co-driver ends his career as one of the most decorated rally racers in the region. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven-time Middle East Rally Champion co-driver Nasser Saadon Al-Kuwari has announced his retirement from rally racing, ending an illustrious 25-year-long career. <\/p>\n

The Qatari co-driver said the decision had been \u201cthe most difficult\u201d of his life so far, after trying to \u201crepresent Qatar in the best possible way\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have decided to retire from my motorsports career after spending the past 25 years in rally cars,\u201d he wrote on Instagram late on Monday. <\/p>\n

Al-Kuwari\u2019s focus will now be on spending time with his family and kids after spending two decades and a half on the run, he added in the announcement post. <\/p>\n

Al-Kuwari leaves the sport as one of the most successful co-drivers ever to come out of the Middle East and North Africa, having clinched 10 Qatar Rally Championships and six Kuwait Rally in addition to various regional and international titles.<\/p>\n

He also helped his brother, Abdulaziz, to a maiden Middle East Rally Championship last season after having driven with 31 different drivers in his illustrious career. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy target was to stop last year [2024], but it is not easy to stop rally racing,\u201d Al-Kuwari had told Doha News in an interview in February, adding he intended to complete the current season co-driving for his cousin, Ahmed Al-Kuwari. <\/p>\n

That plan was cut short by the announcement on Monday, which came as a surprise to many rally racing enthusiasts since Al-Kuwari is still considered to be one of the best co-drivers<\/a> around. <\/p>\n

\u201cI always have to win races,\u201d he told in the February interview. \u201cIt is not like \u2018I\u2019ll participate for the sake of participation\u2019 \u2014 I want to be able to participate to win.\u201d <\/p>\n

He most recently finished fourth in the challenger category at both the Dakar Rally and the Middle East Baja Cup. <\/p>\n

Only co-driver of the racing dynasty<\/span><\/h3>\n

For as long as Al-Kuwari can remember, conversations about rally cars and circuits dominated the family besides a few dabbles about football. <\/p>\n

In fact, the Al-Kuwaris can be considered a racing dynasty on their own, having produced several rally drivers who have gone on to represent Qatar. It was only axiomatic that he and his brother, Abdulaziz, joined the bandwagon. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandfather was the first Qatar rally driver in 1975, my dad started in 1983 and my five uncles were rally drivers too,\u201d Al-Kuwari told Doha News before retirement. The generation after him is showing up in racing too, he added. <\/p>\n

Nasser Al-Kuwari, however, stands as an exception as the only co-driver out of the patrimonial rally racers. <\/p>\n

It started when he was asked to shift seats by his brother, who suddenly took out a bank loan to buy a rally car. Both had started driving off-road following their father\u2019s footsteps and Nasser was completely alien to co-driving and almost hated it in the beginning. \u201cEveryone wants to drive, and drive fast when they are young,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

That moment, however, made sense almost three decades later. <\/p>\n

Having amassed the experience of co-driving for many, Al-Kuwari teamed up with his brother, Abdulaziz, last season after twelve years of calling, which saw the latter become the Middle East Rally Champion for the first time. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the most important moment of my life,\u201d Nasser said of his brother\u2019s victory, adding it felt like his career had culminated in that moment. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe used to watch the MERC since we were kids and our dream was just to join the rally in the beginning. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we joined, the dream was to win it together. And we finally did it last year. The whole family celebrated.\u201d <\/p>\n
