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 in international karting by winning the runner-up title at the IAME Final Games, held this past Sunday at the prestigious South Garda Karting circuit, located in Lonato, Italy.<\/p>\n\n
This achievement marks a milestone in the talented racer’s career, as he secures his second runner-up finish in a period of just two weeks. Previously, the Dominican stood out at the IAME World Final in Viterbo, Italy, where he competed against the most promising drivers from various nations, making it clear that his competitive level is on par with the best in the world.<\/p>\n\n
Gonz\u00e1lez P\u00e9rez’s performance on Italian soil was put to the test by difficult weather conditions. Constant rain turned the track into a demanding setting, where precision and control were decisive. Despite the challenges, Alonso shone from qualifying, where he positioned himself sixth in the wet.<\/p>\n\n
After a complex first heat, the young driver demonstrated his adaptability by climbing back to third position in the second qualifying race. His consistency continued on Sunday, securing a second place in the Fighters Race and a third in the Super Chrono, thus ensuring a privileged position on the starting grid for the grand final, where he ultimately crossed the finish line in second place.<\/p>\n\n

Professional training and support<\/h2>\n\n
Alonso’s success is no coincidence; it is the result of rigorous preparation under the tutelage of his coach, Carlos Abreu. Competing under the structure of the Haase Racing Team, a team founded by the legendary world champion J\u00f8rn Haase, the young Dominican has managed to participate in highly demanding circuits such as the WSK, ACI, and the Champions of the Future during the 2026 season.<\/p>\n\n
Alonso’s discipline transcends the asphalt. The athlete balances his intense training days with his academic education through a virtual program, allowing him to maintain his schooling while fulfilling his international schedule.<\/p>\n\n
Upcoming challenges on the horizon<\/h2>\n\n
The calendar offers no respite for the young talent. From November 13th to 15th, Alonso Gonz\u00e1lez will face his next challenge at the Champions of the Future Academy. With the constant support of his family, his technical team, and key figures in Dominican motorsports, such as the Dominican Motorsports Federation presided over by Adriano Abreu Sued, the driver remains firm in his dream of reaching Formula 1 and taking the tricolor flag to the pinnacle of world motorsports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
