Roger Feghali dominates the 2015 Jezzine Rally

May 24, 2015 – Roger Feghali dominated the 4th Jezzine Rally, the second round of the 2015 Lebanese Rally Championship, to claim his second consecutive win of the 2015 season.

Feghali – alongside co-driver Ziad Chehab – was completely unchallenged in the Mitsubishi Evo X R4, winning all nine special stages, to eventually cross the finish line more than 3 minutes ahead of his closest pursuer Tamer Ghandour (Evo X), who took the Group N class victory following a great battle with Eddy Abou Karam (Evo X).

Abou Karam retired on the eighth stage after a minor accident, from which he and co-driver Joseph Kmeid escaped unhurt.

Third place overall went to Renault Clio R3T driver Henry Massaad, who also clinched the front-wheel drive class victory, with Robert Aaraj finishing runner-up in the category and fifth overall on his Citroen DS3 R3.

Rabih Ayoub’s great consistency in the Mitsubishi Evo IX saw him finish fourth overall, to split Massaad and Aaraj, while Bassel Abou Hamdan settled for sixth place overall and third in the FWD class in his DS3 R3.
