Elie Jean Hage took everyone by surprise in the first speed test of the season in Jounieh, and he continued his strong form until the end of the championship to finish second behind Abdo Feghali. Elie also made it to final round of the CPD championship this. Remember his name because he is one of the rising talents in Lebanese motorsports.
Congratulations, it seems you are getting better after each event. How do you sum up your this speed test?
Today was the closest race so far and I felt the adrenaline to maximum. The competition between the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th positions was very tough. I clinched the third place today. I clinched the 2WD and the RWD championships and finished 2nd overall behind Abdo Feghali.
The race in general was very nice and although I could have done a little bit better in some places but overall I’m satisfied.
What was difference between this track and the previous one that was done here last time?
Every single one has its own characteristics. The previous one was very narrow, this is a bit wider. You can push a bit more here, and BMW drivers were able to use their second gear. Both are nice and there is no problem with any of them.
What do you promise us for next year?
ATCL obliged us to participate in the PRO category. If nothing changes I will have to see next year but I won’t ditch the speed test competition and I will participate next year.
