April 18, 2016 – Young Lebanese driver Mohamad Chehab secured the 2016 UAE Autocross Championship title after a superb season that saw him win four out of four rounds so far.
Chehab drove a rear-wheel drive Silvercar ST2 for the BMC Racing Team and had no trouble collecting his four wins, with regulations stating that four out of five rounds will count in the final championship standings, which means Chehab secured the title with one more round to go.
“I had a lot of people saying that my car is good on technical circuits, and that I’m fast because there are plenty of chicanes and 360-degree turns. However, I proved them wrong by winning on an open circuit.” said Chehab.
He added: “I would like to thank BMC Racing Team for being my first sponsor, and thanks to Silvercar UAE for their continuous support. Of course, I would also like to thank my father, whose support has been essential in my career. Lastly, thank you guys because there is no motorsport without you.”
