Rashid Al Dhaheri’s motorsport journey began at the age of three at Yas Marina Circuit, where he discovered a deep passion for racing during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Determined to become a race driver, he took his first steps in karting at just four years old in Al Ain, UAE. Rashid shifted his racing career to Italy by the age of six. His relentless dedication led to multiple championship victories, including five Dubai O Plate titles, making him a record-holder, as well as victories in the Macao International Kart Grand Prix and in World Series Karting (WSK). Rashid’s European karting career further solidified his status as a fierce competitor, securing notable titles such as 60 Mini in the WSK Super Master Series (2019) and WSK Euro Series (2019), as well as OK Junior titles in the WSK Champions Cup and WSK Super Master Series (2021). After demonstrating good progress in the OK category in 2022, Rashid stepped up to single-seaters. Just ten days after his 15th birthday, he made his F4 debut in 2023 with Prema Racing in Italian F4. That year, he competed in multiple F4 championships, including the Italian, Euro 4, South East Asia, and the UAE series—all with Prema. He finished inside the top 10 in the Italian Championship, with several podiums, and secured a podium finish in the prestigious Macau F4 race. Remaining in F4 for the 2024 season, Rashid delivered another strong performance, finishing fourth in the UAE series with two race wins and securing a top 10 overall finish in the Italian F4 series. He also competed in the Formula Trophy UAE, where he finished runner-up, despite not completing the full championship. Looking at 2025, Rashid joins the Junior Programme and steps up to the Formula Regional level. He has already completed the Middle East series with Mumbai Falcons, securing four podiums and finishing as Rookie runner-up. Transitioning to Europe, Rashid will take on the Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA) with PREMA Racing.

I've known Rashid for a few years now, since he was racing in karts. Not only the best drivers coming from the Middle East but one of the best of his generation. We're looking forward to his FRECA season.
