December 30, 2014 – Rumor has it that Red Bull has taken Lebanese Karting Champion Patrick Njeim in its athlete product placement program.
Patrick Njeim will go through a defined period of time prior to becoming a full Red Bull athlete. This process is familiar to all athletes and it is considered a transitional phase, after which the athlete benefits from Red Bull’s complete support on all levels.
Red Bull has an extensive motorsport program in the region and it has taken several champions under its wing including Lebanese Rally champion Abdo Feghali, Middle East Rally champion, WRC2 champion and Dakar Rally winner Nasser Al-Attiyah, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East champion Abdulaziz Turki AlFaisal and more recently Zaid Ashkanani.
Patrick Njeim has already began preparation for the upcoming season; he tested a Motortune Racing Suzuki Swift Sport 1600cc and it’s highly likely that he will race for Motortune in the 2015 Lebanese Rally and Hill Climb championships.
