In this regard, Bin Eidan said that I would like to send a message to those who wanted to cancel the rally - you are disappointed - I am really so happy , this happiness can only be realized by those who know the real meaning of motor sport especially here in our region . 
Bin Eidan said that Qatar was and still one of the main supporters for motor sport , Qatar has a good historical background due to the great efforts exerted by FIM deputy president & FIA Vice President Mr. Nasser Bin Khalifa Al Attiyah when he was occupying the position of QMMF president , as he was one of the main characters that drawn the features of these successes that Qatar is enjoying now . Bin Eidan also wished to hear soon a confirmation that Kuwait international rally 2017 would be also registered as Qatar . 
He added that we will not give the chance to anyone to exclude Kuwait from the agenda of this championship , as this rally is considered the only channel for motor sport in Kuwait . 
At the end of his statement , bin Eidan said that , I would like to say once more to Dr. Mohammed Bin Sulayem that you lost all your papers when you lost the support of most of federations and clubs of the region MENA , due to the irresponsible acts and deeds of yourself in the last few months .
