I am a 17-year-old racing driver with a singular focus: to accomplish my dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver.
Based in Halmstad, Sweden, I proudly represent my home country, Syria 🇸🇾. My journey is fueled by passion, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of speed.
Every lap I drive is a step closer to the pinnacle of motorsport. I am currently honing my racecraft in rental karting, proving that dedication can bridge the gap to the professional grid.
"Starting late with full ambition and fire running through my veins"
The Beginning
I discovered my passion for racing at age 15. What started as an interest quickly transformed into an obsession with improving my lap times and understanding racing lines.
Training & Development
Enrolled in the racing school at Gokartcentralen in Kungälv. This was a pivotal moment where I learned professional racecraft, overtaking techniques, and consistency.
SRKC Debut
They say it isn’t smart to make your first race the hardest one of your life. I decided to do it anyway. 🏎️💨
I just made my racing debut at the SRKC—widely known as one of the toughest Kart World Championship qualifiers out there. Was I expecting to win? No. I was there to learn from the absolute best in the world. Sharing a track with serious, top-tier competitors from France, the UK, Austria, Poland, and beyond was a masterclass in racing. When you compete against the best, you are forced to level up.
⏱️ My fastest lap: 57.513
🏆 Track record: 53.229 (Tomek Bernadowski)
Closing that 4-second gap is my new benchmark. This event was an unforgettable experience, and I walked away with so much knowledge. Now, the real work begins. I’ll be entering more championships, training relentlessly, and putting in the seat time to climb the ranks before making the leap to owner karting.
My ambitions are big, and the fire to succeed is only burning hotter. I can't wait for the next green light! 🚦
What's Next?
The journey has only just begun. I am actively training, exploring new championships, and putting in the seat time to climb the ranks. Stay tuned for the next green light!
