Alonso André González Pérez shines in international motorsport with a new runner-up title
Dominican motorsports celebrates a new international feat. The young driver Alonso André González Pérez, only 12 years old, has established himself as one of the brightest prospects in the discipline after winning the runner-up title at the IAME Final Games, an event held at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato, Italy.
This achievement marks a milestone in his short but rising career, being his second runner-up finish in a period of just two weeks. Recently, González Pérez had already climbed to the second step of the podium at the IAME World Final, held in Viterbo, Italy, where he demonstrated his ability to compete against the best talents in world karting.
Resilience in the face of adverse conditions
The Dominican’s performance on Italian soil was put to the test by challenging weather factors. The heavy rain and changing asphalt conditions demanded the utmost precision and composure behind the wheel. After securing the sixth-fastest time in qualifying, Alonso managed to climb positions, standing out with a second-place finish in the Fighters Race and a third in the Super Chrono, which allowed him to secure a privileged position on the starting grid for the final.
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 parents
The young pilot’s feat has a significant emotional component, as it coincided with the celebration of his 12th birthday, a date he spent away from his family, but under the technical tutelage of his coach, Carlos Abreu, who has been a key piece in his development within the Haase Racing Team.
Training and progression towards Formula 1
Alonso González balances his demanding sporting commitments in international circuits such as the WSK, ACI, and Champions of the Future with his academic training through a virtual program. His discipline and the constant support of his family, the Dominican Automobile Federation, and strategic allies like CleanerStudio are the driving force behind his ultimate ambition: to represent the Dominican Republic in Formula 1.
The calendar does not stop for the talented driver, who already has his sights set on his next challenge: the Champions of the Future Academy, which will take place from November 13 to 15. With two international podiums in record time, Alonso reaffirms that the future of Dominican motorsport is in good hands.
