The Automobile and Touring Club of Lebanon (ATCL) is continuing its preparations for the 48th Rally of Lebanon, to be held from 10 to 13 September 2026 under the patronage of President General Joseph Aoun, as the fourth round of the 2026 Middle East Rally Championship. Foreign, Arab and Lebanese drivers have taken turns winning the event, which has become one of the best known in the Middle East and Asia, since it started as the Mountain Rally (Rallye du Mont) in 1968.
A quick look at the roll of honour shows Lebanon’s Roger Feghali holding the record with 18 wins since 2000, ahead of the UAE’s Mohammed Ben Sulayem, now president of the FIA, with four and Lebanon’s Jean-Pierre Nasrallah with three.
