After yesterday's chaotic stage the dust has settled at the foot of
the pyramids for the crowning of a new world champion. Kalifa
Al-Mutaiwei cruised through the 308km stage in his MINI All4, just a
slight navigation mistake the only worry, and duly took victory in the
30th anniversary Pharaons Rally as well as the FIA Cross Country World
Cup.

Scoring their first stage wins of the 2012 Pharaons rally were Jakub Przygonski (KTM) among the bikes, and Miroslav Zapletal-Manciej Marton (H3 Evo) in the car category. Both of them were hoping to win at least one of the six stages, and today, finally, it was mission accomplished!

Day 5 Abu Mingar-Tibniya. 405Km

Saeed swept his hand across the desolate landscape in front of us, the
dusky skin of his fingers pointing towards the barely discernible
horizon. “This is an old land,” he said. “So old that the sand is the
bones of stones.” He was right. Hardly a scrub of grass to be seen, no

We were winding up to a thrilling final of both the 30th edition of
the Pharaons Rally as well as the 2012 World Cup but it seems that
both have been decided thanks to a routine inspection of the Sonangol
Buggy. 

During a routine check, a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) technical steward found that the restrictor was

Day 4 Abu Mingar-Abu Mingar. 215km and 245km

The organisers said that the hardest stage was over and that today's
would be the most beautiful. “Pretty?” Jean-Louis Schlesser scoffed.
“It was too hard to be pretty. Much harder even than yesterday!” And
Kalifa Al-Mutaiwei would probably agree if he was in the mood to talk.

The second stage of the Pharaons Rally didn’t see any significant changes in the motorcycle category. Even if the day’s special stage was increasingly difficult as it wore on, both in terms of terrain and navigation, the top riders all took it in stride. Amongst the cars, the gap between Khalifa Al-Mutawei and Jean-Louis Schlesser was reduced notably, thanks to a fairly dominant win ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/ccr/news/viladoms-and-schlesser-triumphant-on-second-stage-of-pharaons-rally/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>
