A race took place in the middle of a city in Lebanon last weekend. The video follows award-winning racing driver Michel Feghali as he zaps along narrow downtown streets on a BMW 3 Series.
Races like this are most often held away from cities in specially designated areas, but this was a major exception. Feghali raced his BMW 330 CI (E46) modded by Motortune Racing through a populated area and even had enough time to drift from time to time.
A month ago, a similar but illegal race took place on a highway in California. Several times over the course of the morning, the participants blocked off different parts of the highway and performed drift stunts. A total of 50 cars took part in it. Police detained seven organizers of the race and presented two of them with charges.
