Saudi Arabia's Dania Akeel secures podium finish

Saudi Arabia's female driver Dania Akeel won a provisional early mathematical title in the FIA T3 section of the 2021 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas by sealing a hard-earned third place in the demanding three-day Baja Poland.

I am very happy with the finish, P3. It was a really rich weekend. The first day was sunny, dry and fast, so the conditions were favourable, although it was a long stage with over 300KMs. Whereas on day two, Sunday, there were less kilometres but it was very wet with heavy rain. A lot of water everywhere, in the car, in the suit and in the visor. It was a different experience but I had a really good time. I am glad I got to experience what everyone tells me about Poland. The sunny and dry weather on Saturday was not the norm. I am happy I got to drive in these difficult conditions. Stéphane and I drove together in Jordan before, and I was happy to be reunited with him. It's my first full season so I just need to constantly push my limits further and further and understand what the car can and cannot do. Overall, it has been another great weekend and a fantastic experience. Now, we look forward to Italy next month!
