(Reuters) -A mistake after crossing the finishing line cost Nasser Al-Attiyah his fourth straight World Rally-Raid Championship title, as a penalty he received following the final stage of the Rallye du Maroc handed the trophy to Lucas Moraes on Friday.
Al-Attiyah (The Dacia Sandriders) drove past the final stop sign, resulting in stewards handing him a one-hour time penalty that knocked him off top spot in the general rankings of the world championship that started with the Dakar Rally in January.
