-The meeting with PM Rafic Al Hariri :
"If you can bring the Formula One to Lebanon by the year 2000, that would be very good". PM Hariri said to Dr.Khaled Altaki On the 6th January at the home of the Prime Minister, attended by all representatives of the sporting community , Dr. Khaled Altaki, Managing Director of Relay Grand Prix sarl, made it clear during an exchange of views with the Prime Minister, to all 250 plus guests that efforts to bring the Formula One Grand Prix to Lebanon continue, and that RGP hopes to hold its first race as soon as possible.
Furthermore, that although the circuit has been named Al Hariri Beirut Circuit, the Prime Minister is not involved financially nor has ne contributed any funds towards this project.

When asked by His Excellency the Prime Minister  when the Formula One Grand Prix is expected to come to Lebanon, Dr. Altaki, replied that a realistic date would be the year 2005. The Prime Minister responded by saying that if it would come to Beirut by the year 2004 that would be a very good accomplishment.

There are a lot of people who keep saying that it is not possible to race in the proposed circuit, we live in a democracy and thus each and every one of us is entitled to their own opinion. We feel that our circuit will prove to be one of the best in the world and in due course our opinion will be proven right. However, if you think that you can imporve our circuit, then please do let the McLaren Star team know.
