Beiruting lived a co-piloting experience with the car drift driver, Rony Deraoui, on the Super Special Stage circuit, which took place right before the race started, giving the public a stimulating boost to kick start the show. A social media competition was also launched with blogger Najib Mitri of Blog Baladi, giving one participant the chance to attend the event and be part of the co-piloting experience. Second and third place winners were each given a TOTAL CARD.
Mr. Philippe Amblard, Total Liban Managing Director, commented: “This is the 7th year in a row to be part of this great event that brings together all rally enthusiasts in Lebanon, and our excitement continues to grow.
