Qatar yesterday registered yet another entry in the Guinness World Records with the largest off-road SUV convoy in the world. The new record is 154 Toyota 4x4 SUVs, breaking the previous one of 153 SUVs in Dubai. The event was organised by Abdulla Abdulghani and Bros (AAB) Company, the exclusive dealer of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in Qatar. Participating vehicles were driven in a single file sand track of around 43km at the Endurance Village, Mesaieed. Though motorists turned up in over 400 Toyota SUVs, only 154 qualified for the count by the Guinness World Records team. The successful attempt was held under the motto “One nation one record” and the participants were all owners of Toyota SUVs. Takayuki Yoshitsugu, chief representative of Toyota at the Middle East and North Africa Representative office, who was present, stressed the Qatari market’s importance for the Toyota SUVs.
