What got you into racing?

Racing has been in my blood since I was a kid — the thrill of speed, precision, and control always captivated me. But what truly got me into racing was the competitive spirit and passion for improvement. I started with karting, then discovered sim racing, which opened the door to global competition, championships, and professional growth. That’s when I realized: this isn’t just a hobby — this is who I am.

What is the your goal for the next 2 years?

Ultimately, take that next step into professional real-world racing, using sim racing as a launchpad. Compete at the highest level of international sim racing, breaking into the top 3 globally. Use my platform to inspire the next generation of racers in the MENA region and beyond. Grow my presence as a racing personality and educator, while creating content that bridges the gap between virtual and real-world motorsport.

What is your favourite race track to race on?

Without a doubt — Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans).

It’s a legendary track that combines long high-speed straights with technical sections and history that defines endurance racing. Racing on Le Mans demands precision, focus, and stamina — it’s the ultimate test of a driver’s skill, and that’s exactly why I love it.

How is simulation helping your training?

Simulation is everything in my training. It allows me to:

Practice racecraft and consistency under pressure.
Fine-tune my reaction time, muscle memory, and mental endurance.
Get unlimited reps on any track in the world with real-world physics and telemetry.
Prepare for real-life racing conditions without the cost or risk.

Sim racing has evolved from a game to a professional training tool, and I’m living proof of that.
