Under the patronage of HRH Prince Feisal Al-Hussein, Chairman of Jordan Motorsport, the 2022 Jordan Rally was flagged away from the Royal Automobile Museum in Amman on Thursday evening by HRH Princess Ayah Al-Feisal.
Twenty-two cars passed technical checks, with 15 eligible for round four of the 2022 FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC) and six more in a Jordanian national event running behind the main rally.
Several team members attended the official FIA pre-event press conference on the start podium shortly before the ceremonial start.
