A1 Team Lebanon was the Lebanese team of A1 Grand Prix, a former international racing series.

Management

[edit]

A1 Team Lebanon's owner is Tameem Auchi.[1]

History

[edit]

Daniel Morad became the race driver for A1 Team Lebanon for the 2008-09 season. Although having previously driven in rookie sessions for A1 Team Canada, his Canadian-Lebanese heritage allowed him to switch nationalities, as he had not yet made his race debut.[2]

Drivers

[edit]

In 2007 several Lebanese fans reacted disappointedly to the decision to drop Beschir, and set up an online petition calling on the team to reinstate him as lead driver.[3][4]
