Rajhi and his French co-driver Matthieu Baumel compete in their Peugeot 207 S2000 during the Kuwait International Rally Friday. The UAE's Sheikh Khalid Al-Qassimi held a 7.7-second lead after seven special stages of the race. The Ford Fiesta S2000 crew won four of the day's five stages and was pushed all the way by Rashid Al-Ketbi and Khaled Al-Kendi in their Skoda Fabia S2000. Qatar's Khaled Al-Suwaidi and British co-driver Nick Beech held third overall. A puncture cost Yazeed Al-Rajhi his place in the top three, but the Saudi driver was regularly setting top three stage times.
