Dominican motorsports has a new rising star. The young driver Alonso Andr\u00e9 Gonz\u00e1lez P\u00e9rez, only 12 years old, has achieved a remarkable feat by 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 comes just two weeks after securing another second-place finish at the IAME World Final in Viterbo, consolidating a month of consistent success on European soil.<\/p>\n\n
Gonz\u00e1lez’s trajectory in Italy has been a test of maturity and talent. During the recent competition, the young man had to face adverse weather conditions, with rain that tested his technical skill. After achieving the sixth-best time in qualifying on a wet track, the Dominican knew how to climb key positions during the qualifying heats, standing out in the Fighters Race and the Super Chrono. His determination led him to cross the finish line in second place in the grand final, a result that reaffirms his competitive capacity in high-level karting.<\/p>\n\n\n

Training and constant support<\/h3>\n\n
Alonso’s success is no coincidence; it is the result of rigorous preparation under the tutelage of his coach, Carlos Abreu, and his integration into the Haase Racing Team, led by the historic world karting champion, J\u00f8rn Haase. Despite being far from his family in the Dominican Republic, the young driver has shown admirable discipline, balancing his sports career with his academic responsibilities through a virtual education system.<\/p>\n\n
The road to Formula 1<\/h3>\n\n
With the backing of institutions such as the Dominican Automobile Federation, presided over by Adriano Abreu Sued, and the support of various entities, Alonso is preparing for his next challenge: the Champions of the Future Academy, which will take place from November 13th to 15th. His goal is clear and ambitious: to continue gaining experience on the most demanding circuits in the world in order to, eventually, represent the Dominican Republic in Formula 1.<\/p>\n\n\n
