Al-Emadi wins Red Bull Qaher El T3ous

Jassem al-Emadi crowned the defeater of the dunes, as he warded off stiff competition from his competitors, with a superb show of manoeuvring skills and speed at Red Bull’s T3 buggy race, at Sealine yesterday.
Red Bull Qaher El T3ous, Qatar’s pioneering, head-to-head T3 Buggy Race had the crowd roaring in excitement as buggy after buggy leapt into the air, their drivers vying with each other competing for the title. Mubarak El Khulaifi emerged second while Saad El Qoraini came third.
Red Bull Qaher El T3ous - which means the defeater of the dunes, offered an adrenalin rushing, yet safe platform to the participants. The event which was planned on a customised, unique track with a dimension of 200mx200m, witnessed the participation of 16 Qatari contenders. The challenge between the drivers was off the beaten track as contestants had to cross various, competitive obstacles including jumps, water dig, rocks, sharp turns and dunes.  
The contenders had to demonstrate both their skill and speed. Their competencies were judged by Qatar’s Mohamed Abu Issa, a former quad biking champ and Red Bull athlete while Elie Semaan served as the clerk of the track.
Although the obstacles at Qaher El T3ous presented some rough and tough terrain, the entire event was conducted within the confines of a safe environment, while ensuring the spectators would be able to get a clear view of the entire competition from the same spot.
The unprecedented, desert-racing event drew a 3000 strong crowd. It was also graced by the presence of several dignitaries including the president of  the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation Abdul Rahman al-Mannai and the Austrian ambassador to Qatar Willy Kempel.  The evening was testimony to Qatar’s raging interest in buggies and dune bashing.
There was more to Qaher El T3ous besides the intent competitions, spectators were also treated to a thrilling side event as captain Mohamed al-Yafii showed off his paramotoring skills.
Red Bull Qaher El T3ous is supported and supervised by Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and held in partnership with Vodafone, Speed Marine, Woqod, Al Kass TV and GoPro, the media support of I Love Qatar in addition to the community partnership of Qatar Living.
