Roger Feghali and co-driver Joseph Matar emerged from a hard-fought and tragic 2012 Summer Rally to claim their second consecutive win this season in Jezzine.
Roger’s puncture during the fourth stage of the rally gave the lead to a surging Nicolas Amiouni, but Amiouni’s hopes of victory soon evaporated after a tyre failure put him out of the rally during the penultimate stage.
Abdo drove a flawless rally to secure 2nd position, ahead of a consistent Gilbert Bannout in 3rd.
The rally witnessed a large amount of retirees including Garo Haroutian, Rabih Ayoub, Emile Khoueiry, Nadim Halabi, Joe Azzi, Kamal Dergham, Imad Mrad, Tamer Ghandour, Hicham el Abiad and Joseph Hindy.
