Alonso González: The young Dominican prodigy conquering international tracks
Dominican motorsports continues to make headlines abroad thanks to the talent of Alonso André González Pérez. At just 12 years old, the young driver has achieved an impressive feat: securing two international runner-up titles in a period of only fifteen days, establishing himself as one of the brightest prospects in world karting.
His most recent success occurred this Sunday at the IAME Final Games, held at the iconic South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, Italy. This podium finish comes shortly after having secured second place at the IAME World Final in Viterbo, reaffirming his ability to compete at the highest level against drivers of various nationalities.
Overcoming and skill under extreme conditions
González Pérez’s performance over the weekend was a test of character and skill. The competition was marked by intense rain that complicated the Italian track, demanding the utmost concentration and precision from the young racer. Despite the challenges, Alonso demonstrated his maturity behind the wheel:
- He achieved the sixth-best time in qualifying on a wet track.
- After a difficult first heat, he fought back to reach third place in the second race.
- He took second place in the Fighters Race and third in the Super Chrono, securing a privileged position for the final.
- He crossed the finish line in second place, sealing an impeccable weekend.
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 family
The pilot’s performance was even more emotional as he celebrated his 12th birthday on November 7th right on the circuit, far from his family but under the technical guidance of his coach, Carlos Abreu, who has been a key figure in his development within the Haase Racing Team.
The road to Formula 1
Alonso’s discipline is not limited to the track. The young man combines his demanding training and competitions in European circuits such as the WSK and ACI with his academic studies through a virtual program. This effort is supported by his family, Carlos Abreu’s work team, and entities such as the Dominican Automobile Federation.
The next challenge for this young prospect is already in sight: from November 13th to 15th, he will compete in the Champions of the Future Academy. With his sights set on Formula 1, Alonso González Pérez continues to rack up kilometers of experience and success, taking the flag of the Dominican Republic to the pinnacle of global motorsport.
