Amerigo Ventura will take part in the Dubai International Baja alongside co-driver Erika Mingozzi, driving a Yamaha YXZ1000R with the Quaddy Team. After seven rounds of the World Baja Cup season, Ventura is currently second in the SSV category and seventh in the overall standings.

🎤 We are ready for the final round of the World Baja Cup. After Qatar and Jordan, we are pumped to tackle the tricky dunes of Dubai. I participated in this race last year and had a lot of fun - our little Yamaha loves playing in the sand! Both Erika and I learned so much in Jordan, and we plan to use this race to experiment with new navigation and communication systems between us. The entry list is filled with highly competitive drivers and vehicles, but we’re not intimidated and will give it our all! The fans will surely recognize the rev limiter sound of our YXZ in the dunes!.

Amerigo Ventura (ITA) #402 Yamaha YXZ1000R, Quaddy Racing, SSV category

Ahmed Alkuwari (QAT) #404, Yamaha YXZ1000R Sport Shift, SSV category

Hello, Amerigo and Ahmed. Yes, in Baja Jordan. And so we finished the prologue. I think I was really, I made a good, let's say good performance. Car is still one piece and it's okay. Tomorrow the long day and let's see my teammate.

🎤So for us, I think it was a good prologue. I think we had an advantage starting early, let's say, because it was backwards. The T2 started first, and then the SSVs, and then Challengers. So I think we had an advantage because the route was more clean for me than Amerigo, and more clean for him than the people after him. So I think we did well, and I think both of us, we choose our positions later, so let's see.

Today we are back. The rallies are quite close, happening every week or ten days. Today, we have returned to the Jordan Rally, following a great round in the World Cup. We are here, and the car is getting better and better. We are looking forward to the Dubai Baja and the Jeddah Baja. We hope to be ready for Dakar, with new participation and a new category in Dakar, achieving a new milestone, in addition to the achievements of Ibrahim Mohammed’s team.

A big thank you to the sponsors and supporters: Naji Al-Ghabat, Qalam Manshour Al-Ghabat, the State Development Presidency, Ambaka 46, Dar and Ammar, Gigi Planet, Naana, Spirun, and all the sponsors. Thank you very much. A thousand thanks!

Dania Akeel (SAU) #405 Can-Am Maverick, Santag Racing, SSV category

🎤The prologue here at Jordan Baja was really fun. Three kilometers, quite short, but it was very twisty. So that makes it a little bit more longer, psychologically. No, it was a lot of fun. It was nice because we finished just by the beach. So the scenery was lovely. And I'm looking forward to the stage tomorrow.

I changed category. I'm in the side-by-side. It's actually my first time racing in SSV. And I did it because of the way the FIA points are structured this year for the Bajas. After Qatar we were in the Toyota and we ended up finishing that round with the second place overall in the cup and it was a very last-minute decision to come here so I had to make a very fast decision about what options were available and the SSV was available so I thought it was a good idea because we can still gain points for the overall in any class and this car was available so that was the choice.

Jordan Baja 2021 was the second race I ever did in my life. The first race was the Sharghia Baja 2021. And it was actually the first race I did with Stéphane Dupley. So it was fun. We had a good time.
