May 30, 2015Roger Feghali made a spectacular start to his 2015 Antibes Côte D’Azur Rally participation as he won all three special stages of the opening loop to lead the way on Saturday afternoon.

Driving a Ford Focus WRC alongside co-driver Joseph Matar, the 11-time Lebanese Rally Champion now leads the standings with a substantial 47-second cushion over Citroën C4 WRC driver Pascal Trojani, who lies second overall.
