Alonso González: The young Dominican prodigy conquering international tracks
Dominican motorsports has a new rising star. Alonso André González Pérez, just 12 years old, has once again left his mark on the international stage by becoming the runner-up of the IAME Final Games, held at the iconic 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 status as one of the most solid prospects in global karting.
Resilience under extreme conditions
The road to the podium was not simple. The young driver had to demonstrate his mettle during a weekend marked by heavy rain and an extremely technical circuit. Despite the weather challenges, Alonso managed to qualify in sixth position. After a complicated start, his ability to recover allowed him to climb to third place in the second qualifying heat.
The final day on Sunday was key to his aspirations. With a second place in the Fighters Race and a third in the Super Chrono, the Dominican secured a privileged position on the starting grid for the grand final, where he finally crossed the finish line in second place, reaffirming his dominance in the European championships.
High-level training and unconditional support
Under the structure of the prestigious Haase Racing Team, a team linked to the legendary world champion Jørn Haase, Alonso continues his technical evolution under the guidance of his coach, Carlos Abreu. This season has been fundamental for his development, competing in top-level circuits such as WSK, ACI, and Champions of the Future, facing the best talents on the European continent.
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.
His parents expressed regarding the family effort and the pilot’s recent 12th birthday, celebrated away from home during the competition.Despite the distance, family support has been the pillar of his career since he started in karting at the age of four. Currently, the young man combines his demanding training with his academic education through a virtual education system, demonstrating exemplary discipline for his age.
The road to Formula 1
The calendar does not stop for González Pérez. His next challenge will be the Champions of the Future Academy, scheduled from November 13th to 15th. With the support of the Haase Racing Team, his family, CleanerStudio, and the Dominican Automobile Federation, presided over by Adriano Abreu Sued, the young driver keeps his dream intact: to reach Formula 1 and take the Dominican flag to the pinnacle of world motorsport.
