This event took place on a challenging course that combined vast deserts and rugged rocky surfaces. Under extreme heat conditions, with daytime highs approaching 40 degrees Celsius, drivers faced alternating stretches of soft sand and high-friction gravel roads. In these conditions, tire heat resistance and durability became decisive factors for success.

Hankook Tire supplied its extreme all-weather rally tire, the Dynapro R213, demonstrating its premium technological capabilities. Thanks to its high-strength casing and precision tread design, the tire provided unwavering grip and steering responsiveness even at high speeds, and delivered stable control performance on rapidly changing surfaces.

In particular, the tire effectively absorbed strong shocks from unpaved roads, allowing drivers to maintain a consistent rhythm throughout the race, and reinforced Hankook Tire's reputation as a global top-tier motorsports technology leader among motorsports fans.

After a fiercely contested battle, Thierry Neuville of the Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team took first place. His teammate Adrien Fourmaux finished second, while Sebastien Ogier of the Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team claimed third place.

Sebastien Ogier and the Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team each secured the 2025 WRC driver and team championship titles, with Ogier achieving his ninth career WRC drivers' championship.
