    Bio: My passion for racing began with a love for cars—the speed, sound, and aesthetics captivated me. Watching Disney’s Cars movies and attending car shows with my dad fueled this passion. At 8, I started indoor karting in Monterrey, Mexico, and quickly excelled, winning against older kids. After a four-year hiatus, I returned to karting at 12, again in Monterrey, where I discovered competition karts. My first test in a competition kart was successful, leading to regular practice and eventually racing a 2017 CRG with an LO206 engine. Despite initial struggles, I improved steadily, culminating in my first kart purchase, a 2021 Kart Republic, with which I achieved notable placements, including 4th and 3rd in challenging conditions. My dad’s support continued with a 2024 CRG KT4 for my birthday. My racing style is “rough but smooth,” and my key strengths are self-focus and confidence. My favorite track is Santiago Racing Track for its long straights and curves. My top achievements include placing 4th with Kart Republic, 3rd in a rain race, and 2nd in the LO206 Rotax Championship. My short-term goal is to win a championship, and my long-term goal is to make history in racing. Outside of racing, I enjoy working out and previously played baseball with four teams at ages 6 and 7.

    Achievements:

    • 2022 Placing 4th place with Kart Republic
    • 2023 Placing 3rd place in a rain race.
    • 2024 Placing 2nd In the LO206 Rotax Championship

    Favorite Track: Santiago Racing Track

    Goals: To compete in the FIA Karting World Championship and eventually transition to Formula 4 racing.
