Qatar Custom Show — 13th edition

Over five days (13–17 January 2026) the Qatar Custom Show turned the Qatar Racing Club into a floor for modified vehicles, under an entry bar that lets nothing through unless it reflects its owner's creativity “from the wheels to the body, engine and materials”. The STRYKER bike came out of this edition in first place, and the Madinah United Bikers flag went up on the podium in front of entrants from inside Qatar and beyond.
