Nicolas Amiouni and Co-Driver Joseph Matar's participation in Rallye de Rouergue resulted in a satisfaction to the Lebanese talented driver.

Despite the rules' confusion and the mechanical failure forcing the Lebanese duo to enter the Super Rally, Nicolas is totally satisfied from his 1st ever participation in such an event. "Honestly, I’m more than happy; the difference between Lebanon and France is that there are 190 competing teams there, where everyone of those drivers is capable of winning in his/her own category. The competition is always tough and that applies onto the R2 class where I had to race against 50 others. All of those racers are here to win which urged me to keep pushing my C2 to the edge. Speaking of results, I was somehow surprised to rank among the top 10 in stage 1. The level was high,"said Nicolas.

Amiouni's next event will be in the Local Jordanian Rally alongside Roger Feghali and MOTORTUNE Team.

This coming weekend will witness the 1st participation of Nicolas Amiouni in one of the French Rally Championship Events in the the "38ème Rallye du Rouergue 2011".

With the participation of over 190 drivers and some WRC and S1600 cars, Amiouni will be driving a Citroen C2R2 Max along with his Co Driver Joseph Matar (Car Number 132).

Nicolas said: 'In this event we will be driving a totally new car for us which is the Citroen C2R2 Max. Its a front wheel drive car with a sequential gearbox and I am looking forward to driving it since it will be a great experience for me". He added: "We are not going there to win or compete with anyone particularly, I am going there to maximize my exposure, learn and gain more experience."As for the rest of the 2011 season, Nicolas said: "After France i have a local rally in Jordan and then the main highlight of the season comes in September in Rally of Lebanon. I am also hoping we can do the Cyprus IRC again, we will see.". 

Nicolas Amiouni participation in this year's Cyprus Rally along with his Co Driver Joseph Mater did not exactly got the right way. After suffering from 2 punctures in SS3 the team decided to go for the Super Rally on day 2. Unfortunately Nicolas' car suffered from a Gearbox failure forcing them to retire.

"Cyprus was great and we had the best week anyone could have since we did a huge improvement. I would've loved to finish though, but when bad luck hits, there's nothing much we can do about it", as Nicolas said. He added: "Having said that, Cyprus is already behind us and i am already preparing myself for my next event in France".
