Alonso González: The young Dominican prodigy conquering European tracks
Dominican motorsports has a new figure with great international potential. Alonso André González Pérez, at just 12 years old, has achieved an impressive feat by securing the runner-up position in the IAME Final Games, a competition held this past Sunday at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, Italy. This new podium finish comes just two weeks after having obtained second place in the IAME World Final in Viterbo, consolidating his status as one of the most solid prospects in global karting.
Resilience and talent in the face of adverse conditions
González Pérez’s success is no coincidence, but the result of a remarkable ability to adapt. During his recent participation in Italy, the driver faced challenging weather conditions, marked by constant rain that tested his technical skill. After qualifying in sixth position on a wet track, the young Dominican showed composure by recovering from complications in the first heat and achieving a third-place finish in the second qualifier.
Consistency was key on Sunday, where he secured second place in the Fighters Race and third position in the Super Chrono. These results earned him a privileged starting position for the final, where he ultimately crossed the finish line in second place, reaffirming his competitiveness against the best drivers in his category in Europe.
A path marked by discipline and family support
Alonso’s commitment to the sport is total. On November 7th, the young athlete celebrated his 12th birthday far from home, accompanied only by his coach, Carlos Abreu. This dedication is supported by his family from the Dominican Republic, who have been the driving force of his career since his beginnings in karting at the age of four.
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
To balance his demanding international schedule, which includes competitions in the WSK, ACI, and Champions of the Future circuits, Alonso pursues his studies under a virtual education system. This modality allows him to maintain his academic training while competing in the most competitive arenas of European motorsport under the structure of the Haase Racing Team.
Upcoming challenges on the horizon
The pilot’s schedule does not stop. From November 13th to 15th, Alonso González will face his next challenge at the Champions of the Future Academy. With the backing of his family, his technical team, CleanerStudio, and the constant support of the Dominican Automobile Federation, led by Adriano Abreu Sued, the young Dominican remains firm in his long-term goal: to become a Formula 1 driver and take the tricolor flag to the pinnacle of world motorsport.
