Alonso André González Pérez shines in international karting
Dominican motorsports is experiencing a moment of pride thanks to the outstanding performance of Alonso André González Pérez. The young 12-year-old driver was crowned runner-up of the IAME Final Games, an event held at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, Italy. This achievement marks a milestone in his career, as it is his second runner-up finish in a period of just fifteen days, having reached the same position at the IAME World Final in Viterbo.
Resilience in the face of adverse conditions
The competition in Italy tested the Dominican’s adaptability. The weekend was marked by heavy rains that complicated the track, demanding impeccable technical precision. After qualifying in sixth position in the rain, Alonso demonstrated his competitive maturity by climbing key positions in the qualifying heats, highlighting his third place in the second race and a solid second place in the Fighters Race.
These results were decisive in securing the third position on the starting grid for the grand final, where he finally managed to cross the finish line in second place, consolidating himself as one of the firmest promises of European karting.
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.
