LUCIE BAUD shines at Qatar Baja; ALIYYAH KOLOC hit by tech trouble

October 30, 2026

• LUCIE BAUD and father Lionel navigated their petrol-engined X-Raid Mini JCW Rally to fifth overall, posting the fourth quickest time on stage two and staying clear of major drama throughout.
• ALIYYAH KOLOC showed genuine pace on Friday but time penalties hurt her overnight position before technical failure on stage two ended her Qatar campaign prematurely.
• Koloc’s Red-Lined Revo GTR retired on the second stage; her father Martin salvaged sixth overall with navigator Hugo Magalhaes to rescue some family honour.
• Polish motorcycle racer JOANNA MODRZESWKA rounded out the top 20 in the bike category, completing a demanding Sealine dunes finale on her Triumph TF45E.
