Abdo Feghali
Drift legend · Lebanon
The longest continuous drift ever recorded.
Known across the region simply as "Dado," Abdo Feghali is the elder statesman of Middle East motorsport, a multiple Lebanese rally champion who became the face of drift culture in the Arab world.
Feghali made his name first in rally and speed events, taking multiple Lebanese national rally titles and the Middle East Hill Climb Championship across 2007–2010, before becoming a central figure in the region's emerging drift scene.
On 15 February 2013 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi he set the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous vehicle drift, 11.18 km over 43 laps in a Chevrolet Camaro SS, more than doubling the previous benchmark.
As a long-standing Red Bull athlete he has carried drifting far beyond the Gulf, from exhibition runs to demonstrations abroad, helping legitimise the discipline as sport rather than street spectacle.
