Ever so energetic and ever so enthusiastic, there are new ideas all the time and we never see him get bored. Its former multiple Lebanese rally champion Jean Pierre Nasrallah. Where have he been, and what about the new Pro-Tech center? We met the champ ahead of the opening of his new project and had this nice chat.
Where have you been away from motorsports?
I am very motivated for racing again, we are talking a lot to sponsors, and I hope it will work. I am not saying that I am returning for sure but I hope. After all, this is not my main job and the time factor plays the biggest role here, since I am not involved directly in preparing the car and the usual stuff in rallying and racing. Anyway it’s very possible now since you can get a rally team, and prepare well and do a rally, but we are talking here about a huge budget, so if it becomes available we will go rallying again.
-So excited, JP is rushing all over his cozy office, answering phone calls, and guiding his guests.-
Today you are opening the Pro-Tech Center, tell us more about the project since many of us are surprised by it. How did it start and how did you reach this level?
It’s a nice story, a well-known friend of mine who I will not mention his name, knows someone who took the agency of Pro-Tech and was willing to open it in Lebanon and in other places. I met the guy and we started working on the project together. I am a partner in the project and the General Manager, and here we are opening today.
We know that you have had several projects away from motorsports, is this one of your past plans?
Well my main plan was to build a circuit for car racing, but now this opportunity came for me to do something I like, which is taking care of beautiful cars, maintaining them and fixing the ones which need fixing…
So Pro-Tech is?
Pro-Tech is a place for car care, simply it’s a SPA for cars.
-Pro-Tech is the place to wash, polish, maintain and pamper your cars in the most professional way. As Pro-Tech say on their brochure, they unlock the beauty secret of your car.-
So what kind of cars do you work on? Is it only high performance cars, or super cars?
We work on all cars, but we prefer such high caliber cars because our products are very advanced and would suit this kind of cars. Well if someone bought a 20 or 30000$ car we can work on it, but as I said before we prefer high calibers.
Are we talking about very high costs?
Well we cannot say high costs. The costs are higher than other places, but the results serve for a longer period of time.
-The cars that were parked in the garage included a Ferrari FF, a Lamborghini Aventador, another Ferrari Italia, a Nissan GTR, a Clio Gordini and a Porsche Panamera.-
Today we see that you have invited the media to the opening, what is the next step? Are you thinking of sponsoring circuit racing or even Lebanese drivers abroad?
Pro-Tech is very big; we have big projects for the future. We are still in very early stages but for sure we will be involved in motorsports at some point.
Can we say that Pro-Tech might be behind your return to rallying?
Maybe, nobody knows… but this is not the goal. Pro-Tech is something small for me, but they will be involved in motorsports, not necessarily with JP Nasrallah, maybe with someone else.
-Joking with JP-
Do you have a car between the cars here in the garage?
Yes I have 2 cars here.
What are they?
I cannot say, you need to know search…
-Well we guessed that they are practically the Gordini and the GTR-
Do you have any last message for your fans on Biser3a.com?
I would like to congratulate on the work you have been doing. I am following your news and people are always browsing your website. Good job and good luck for the future.
