Alonso González: The young Dominican talent shining in international karting
Dominican motorsports has a new rising star. Alonso André González Pérez, just 12 years old, has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the runner-up of the IAME Final Games, an event held at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, Italy. This achievement comes just two weeks after reaching the same position at the IAME World Final in Viterbo, solidifying his impact on European karting.
Resilience and success under adverse conditions
The competition on Italian soil was a trial by fire for the young pilot. Facing challenging weather conditions and a track marked by heavy rain, González demonstrated a maturity beyond his years. After a qualifying session where he achieved the sixth-best time, the Dominican knew how to overcome the obstacles of the first heat to climb positions.
His performance on Sunday was decisive: after standing out in the Fighters Race and the Super Chrono, he secured a prime position on the starting grid for the final, where he ultimately crossed the finish line in second place, reaffirming his competitive ability in high-performance racing.
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.

González Pérez’s path is supported by a top-tier structure. A member of the Haase Racing Team, a team linked to the historic world champion Jørn Haase, the young driver has the technical guidance of his coach Carlos Abreu. This alliance has been key for the driver to compete on demanding circuits in the WSK, ACI, and Champions of the Future championships during the current season.
Beyond the track, Alonso maintains a rigorous balance between his academic training and his sports career through a virtual education program, allowing him to pursue his dream of reaching Formula 1 without neglecting his studies.
Upcoming challenges
The calendar does not stop for the Dominican prospect. Between November 13 and 15, Alonso will face the Champions of the Future Academy, seeking to maintain the streak of success that has positioned him as one of the figures with the greatest projection in national motorsports. His career has the constant support of his family, the Haase team, CleanerStudio, and the Dominican Automobile Federation, under the management of Adriano Abreu Sued.
Having just turned 12, celebrated even in the midst of competition far from home, Alonso González Pérez continues to demonstrate that Dominican talent has the potential to conquer the elite of world motorsport.
