Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX driver Elie Ghanem has won the third and final round of the Lebanese Speed Test Championship that was held at the Pit Stop Karting circuit this morning.
Ghanem, who completed the first heat in 9th place, struck back in Heat 2 to set the fastest time of the day (2 minutes 25.65 seconds) and win the event ahead of Xavier Massaad who finished just 0.08 seconds behind in second place.
BMW driver Paul Kossaifi rounded out the podium, finishing the race in 3rd place and more than 2 seconds behind the leader, while Renault Clio RS driver Joudy Feghali, who finished 7th overall, clinched the Amateur class victory.
It is worth mentioning that the event was restricted to the Amateur and Super Series categories; the Pro category and 5th Drifting round will have their own event later.
