Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) has concluded a two-day off-road shoot-out held to evaluate national drivers for potential selection to the Qatar Motorsports Academy (QMA) and the Qatar national team.
The programme was held over two days: Day 1 took place at the Academy building at Lusail International Circuit, where drivers completed physical assessments, cognitive testing and theoretical evaluations.
Day 2 was staged in Sealine, where participants were tested in real off-road conditions to assess driving technique, consistency and terrain adaptation across off-road disciplines.
The participating drivers were: Abdulaziz Al Kuwari, Mohammed Al Marri, Abdulla Al Rabban, Ahmed Al Kuwari, Mohammed Al Atteya, Mohammed Al Harqan, Mohammed Al Meer, Ahmed Al Muhannadi, Nouef Al Sowaidi and Rashid Al Mohannadi.
Throughout the shoot-out, QMMF evaluated and developed each driver’s cognitive performance, including reaction time, focus, situational awareness and decision-making. Drivers were assessed without copilots, with an emphasis on independent navigation and full vehicle control.
Following the shoot-out, the best-performing drivers will be selected to join the QMA and represent the Qatar national team. They will undergo structured weekly training covering physical preparation, cognitive development and advanced driving skills.
QMMF remains committed to developing Qatari talent and preparing national drivers to compete at the highest international level in off-road motorsport.
