After a hectic week travelling for the Red Bull Car Park Drift Abdo Feghali came back strong and brushed off all the competition in the 2nd heat of the Speed Test yesterday. Dado who did a small mistake on the first heat and finished it second was determined to break the track’s record and give the fans something to cheer about. After the race we had a quick chat with Lebanon’s Red Bull Athlete, check it out?
Dado The first heat was not amazing, but in the second you stunned us, tell us more
Well the first heat was amazing I just did a little mistake. I loved the fact that I had some pressure, and many people who I like to call doubters, were thinking that Dado might lose, although everybody knew that for the post 4 days I was in 4 countries because of the Car Park Drift. I drank 3 Red Bull Bottles, took some rest and then came back to break the record and it was amazing.
We saw you after the first heat turning on your car’s AC and sleeping, why was that?
Well I haven’t had more than 9 hours of sleep in 4 days, and yesterday I had an event in Lebanon for Audi A1 so I thought I get a bit of rest in the car. Anyway this is our work and we shouldn’t nag about it and everything is just great.
What do you think about ATCL’s new regulation that will prevent you from competing in Speed Test next year if you won in 2011?
It’s a bit weird. I am really surprised with such a decision. Imagine the FIA bans Sebastian Loeb from competing in the WRC championship because he is winning. This is very weird. I am surprised why didn’t the ban my brother Roger from rallying. We all know that Speed Test was done for amateurs and for the Pros. we were all happy that the amateurs that were winning stepped forward and competed in the pro championship but I don’t know what they want from us. We all the people watching came here for the show. Abdo Feghali is not winning because he has the best car, every BMW owned by the guys cost around 110000 $, my car costs 60000 $. I would ask anybody to give me his BMW and I will give you 2 cars like my EVO. The regulations are the same on us all, the restrictor and the engine and everything. What is making us winning is the whole package, myself, my team MotorTune and my sponsors. Let everybody work better on their selves and stop hiding behind their finger.
