“Three is the count that God made,” says a popular saying. However, cars are made to have four wheels, but it didn’t seem to be the case with Nasser Al-Attiyah in the final part of the third stage of the Dakar 2024.
The Qatari driver suffered three punctures and, already without spare wheels, had to travel a few kilometers without the left rear tire, resting only on the rim of the Nasser Racing Prodrive Hunter.
In any case, the Qatari maintained a good speed and even managed to minimize the losses: he finished fourth, 1m33s behind the winner Lucas Moraes (Toyota), and is fifth overall, 10m49s behind the leader Yazeed Al Rajhi (Overdrive Racing/Toyota).
In the following video, you can see Al-Attiyah in action during part of the route he had to take with one less tire.
