Alonso González: The young Dominican prodigy conquering European karting
Dominican motorsports continues to take giant strides on the international stage thanks to Alonso André González Pérez. At just 12 years old, the talented driver has achieved an impressive feat by securing the runner-up position in the IAME Final Games, recently held at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit, located in Lonato, Italy.
This new trophy arrives as confirmation of the great moment the young racer is experiencing, who just two weeks ago also took second place in the IAME World Final in Viterbo, Italy. These results consolidate González Pérez as one of the most solid prospects in world karting, standing out against high-level competition from various parts of the globe.
Resilience and talent under extreme conditions
The road to the podium in Lonato was not simple. The driver had to demonstrate his maturity behind the wheel by facing adverse weather conditions, with persistent rain that complicated the Italian track. Despite the challenges, Alonso achieved a sixth-place finish in qualifying and knew how to recover key positions during the qualifying heats.
His Sunday performance was impeccable: he achieved a second place in the Fighters Race and a third place in the Super Chrono. These results allowed him to start third in the grand final, where he finally crossed the finish line in second position, thus securing his privileged position in the championship.
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.

Constant training and support
Behind this success lies a solid structure. Alonso competes under the Haase Racing Team banner, a team linked to world karting legend Jørn Haase. His technical training is closely supervised by his coach, Carlos Abreu, who has been a fundamental piece in his athletic development and his adaptation to the demanding European circuits.
Alonso’s discipline is not limited to the track. The young driver balances his intense training days and competitions with his studies, using a virtual education program that allows him to maintain his academic training while pursuing his dream of reaching Formula 1.
Upcoming challenges on the horizon
The calendar does not stop for the Dominican. From November 13 to 15, Alonso González will face a new challenge in the Champions of the Future Academy. With the support of his family, the Dominican Automobile Federation, led by Adriano Abreu Sued, and various entities that believe in his talent, the young driver continues to accumulate kilometers and experience toward his goal of representing the Dominican flag in the elite of world motorsport.
