Jordan Rally Championship set for dramatic final round

AMMAN — The Jordan Rally Championship is heading towards its most exciting finale in years with a big showdown expected for its fifth and final round this Friday, according to the Jordan Motorsport Media Service.

Following a dramatic fourth round, Oman’s Abdullah Al Rawahi is the outright leader after taking the win in the northern forests, and he holds a slender one-point advantage at the top from Khaled Juma, who was disqualified last time out for an illegal service.

Salameh Al Gammaz also has an outside chance of winning the title, so anything can happen with the 13-car field making it the largest national rally entry for a couple of seasons. The action gets under way at 10am when the first car leaves the Dead Sea Service Park for the first of six timed stages consisting of 65.46km. The podium is scheduled for 3:30pm.
