At just 19 years old, Ryan Khneisser put in a remarkable performance at the 2025 Jezzine Rally. The young driver from Achrafieh won the Junior Cup, as well as finishing first in the R2 category, second in RC4/Rally4, and eighth overall.
At the wheel of his Peugeot 208 RC4, accompanied by his co-driver Chris Bechara, Khneisser clocked a time of 1:06:18, beating several experienced drivers on a demanding course.
His performance in Jezzine is not an isolated success. Ryan has been driving since the age of 10, with solid experience in karting on the Lebanese, Arab, and European scenes. His transition to rallying is the logical continuation of a serious and well-constructed career.
Despite the difficult technical conditions, the Khneisser-Bechara duo showed great cohesion throughout the race. Their result sends a clear message: a new generation is here, ready to make its mark on Lebanese rallying.
At the finish line, in Jezzine's town square, Ryan received his trophy to applause, proudly representing his neighborhood and his entire country. A young champion is born, and the road ahead looks exciting.
