After finishing his first rally 10th overall and scoring so impressive times in the second half of the rally, we met Rabih and took his impression on the first every rally experience.

Rabih, it’s your first rally, are you satisfied with you performance and the outcome of the rally?

Well I’m not totally satisfied; you can say it’s 50/50. In the 2 stages we caught the Renault in front of us and he slowed us down from the middle of every stage. In the 4th stage we had spin because of the dispersed gravel, and it led for the car to turn off and took 2 minutes to turn on again. The remaining stages were much better.

How did you find Serge Akiki as Co-driver?

Well Serge is amazing, but we need some time to get used to each other.

How did you find the night stages and were they more difficult?

I enjoyed them and they are very challenging but the pace would a bit slower of course.
