RIYADH (SAUDI ARABIA): The Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF) holds its annual prize giving ceremony for each of its national motor sporting championships on Saturday (May 13th).
Running under the chairmanship of H.R.H. Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal, the President of the SAMF, the federation organised six Saudi Toyota Championships in 2022, with competitors set to receive awards in rallying, autocross, drift, time attack, drag and hill climb racing.

Officials at the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation will be honouring the various winners of each of the sporting disciplines, in addition to using the occasion to thank sponsors and strategic partners for making the 2022 season such a success.
Over the diverse range of motor sport covered by the Saudi Toyota Championships, 283 competitors from 29 nations took part in 19 events over the six disciplines during the course of 2022.
There were 25 female competitors, five youngsters and competitors from seven regions and 23 governates across the Kingdom. Over 500 marshals were involved in ensuring the safety of competitors ad spectators alike.
