The International GS Trophy 2024
The venue of the Int. GS Trophy 2024 has been announced: the off-road adventure will be taking us to Namibia. Now that the Int. GS Trophy has travelled around all continents throughout the globe, it returns to where it all began – Africa. Namibia impresses with beautiful landscapes, what are know as the big five and many other animal species. Hot days end with crimson sunsets. The night sky that follows is overwhelming and starry. The trip to Namibia will be a unique experience with a lot of #SpiritOfGS. We can hardly wait!
Once-in-a-lifetime experience
It goes without saying that the exact routes for the Int. GS Trophy 2024 are still top secret until the event itself kicks off. However, we can already promise you one thing: it will be an unforgettable experience where participants will be able to demonstrate their riding skills and expertise as part of ambitious challenges.
It’s all about skills and team spirit. In addition to plenty of sandy stints, the route will also take us up Namibia's mountains and therefore present us with some rocky stretches. Even for experienced Enduro riders, Namibia will be an once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will remain a lasting memory.

These talented bikers have managed to beat the competition in the national qualifiers thanks to their impressive skills. That means a definite entry to the Int. GS Trophy 2024 for Tony, Amir, and Tahir. But, of course, the three bikers still have plenty of time to enjoy the excitement – and continue preparing for the once-in-a-lifetime event in Namibia. Get to know the three men a little bit better here.
Antoine Saad
Antoine “Tony” Saad from Beirut in Lebanon gave a very clear answer to a question about his motivations behind his passion for motorcycling: “Whenever I’m unable to ride a motorbike, I become depressed.” The 55-year-old loves the adrenaline and the friendships he gets from riding motorcycles, as well as exploring new places and the feeling of boundless freedom. When Tony gets on his bike, there is only one goal: sating his hunger for adventure.
Amir Shamsuddin
55-Year-old Amir lives in Dubai, where he works as a pilot. He works out a lot in his free time and likes to keep fit, which is also of great benefit for his motorcycling skills. His passion for motorbikes originated from a test ride. It started out with “just trying it out”, but soon became a great passion for him. He was swept up by the feeling of freedom it gave him, and he wanted to keep learning more and improving his skills. And here we are!
Tahir Altayeb
Tahir discovered his love of motorcycling during a stay in Canada. There, he was on the lookout for a new hobby, which soon grew into a huge passion. The 46-year-old lives with his family in Riyadh, where he works in the Sales & Marketing sector. The father of three has many other athletic hobbies, such as jogging, swimming, and squash. For him personally, his homeland of Saudi Arabia offers the perfect terrain for off-road biking, with its countless sand dunes.
