The Lebanese drivers were the stars of this sporting event, reaching the podium and achieving a great accomplishment. The young generation will have a big future and has already begun raising the Lebanese flag again and again abroad. I would like to praise the role of the parents and the karting circuit operators in these achievements. We are proud of you.
