Alonso González: The young Dominican prodigy conquering European tracks
Dominican motorsports has a new rising star. The young driver Alonso André González Pérez, only 12 years old, has once again held the tricolor flag high by being proclaimed runner-up of the IAME Final Games. The competition, held at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, Italy, consolidated an impressive streak for the racer, who has now secured two international runner-up titles in a period of just fifteen days.
This recent achievement adds to his outstanding performance at the IAME World Final in Viterbo, Italy, where he also reached second place against the best young talents in world karting. González Pérez’s determination was put to the test during this latest event, as the young athlete celebrated his 12th birthday far from home, with only the accompaniment of his coach, Carlos Abreu.
Resilience under extreme conditions
The road to the podium was not simple. Adverse weather, marked by intense rain, transformed the circuit into a technical challenge that demanded the highest level of concentration. After qualifying in sixth position under wet track conditions and overcoming a complicated start in the first heat, Alonso demonstrated his resilience by climbing positions in the qualifying phases.
- Second place in the Fighters Race.
- Third place in the Super Chrono.
- Absolute runner-up after a masterful final race.
Elite training and family support
Alonso competes under the wing of the prestigious Haase Racing Team, a team linked to the figure of the legendary world champion Jørn Haase. His technical training is led by Carlos Abreu, who oversees his development in a 2026 season full of challenges on highly demanding circuits such as the WSK, ACI, and the Champions of the Future.
This time we could not be physically with Alonso, but our hearts were with him in every practice, every qualifying session, and every lap of the race.
Alonso González’s parents
Despite the distance, Alonso’s family has been the fundamental pillar since his beginnings in karting at the age of four. The young driver manages to balance his rigorous competition schedule with his academic training through a virtual education program, demonstrating exceptional discipline for someone his age.
The road continues towards Formula 1
The next challenge for the Dominican is just around the corner: from November 13th to 15th, he will participate in the Champions of the Future Academy. With the support of his family, his team, CleanerStudio, and the Dominican Automobile Federation, presided over by Adriano Abreu Sued, Alonso remains firm in his dream of reaching Formula 1 and placing the Dominican Republic at the pinnacle of world motorsport.
