Abdo Feghali has inherited the 23rd Cedars Rally victory after Roger Feghali got disqualified for receiving help from Joe Kfoury when the former went off in the early stages of the rally.
Roger, who dominated the event yesterday by winning 10 out of a total 12 super special stages, went off course on the third super special stage in Sereel and is claimed to have resumed the rally thanks to help from Joe Kfoury, who also got disqualified.
The Ford Fiesta R5 driver has appealed the decision and is looking to take his victory back. In the meantime, Abdo Feghali is the tentative 23rd Cedars Rally winner, followed by Eddy Abou Karam in second place overall and Rodrigue Rahi in third.
