Bassel Abou Hamdan to drive a Citroen DS3 R3 in 2014

Bassel Abou Hamdan will enter the 2014 Lebanese Rally Championship in a new Citroen DS3 R3.

Abou Hamdan, who skipped the 2013 season and drove a Renault Clio RS in 2012, will contest the new season in the DS3 R3 alongside co-driver Firas Elias; Bassel will also be managing his own team this year.

The former front-wheel drive class champion will compete against the likes of Henry Massad, Christian Kurban and Robert Aaraj, the latter who will also be driving a Citroen DS3 R3 prepared by Motortune Racing team.

Bassel proved his pace 2 years ago and is now in a perfect position to raise the bar and battle for the top spot.
