Discovered karting during COVID, Arthur graduated from Dubai Karting
Academy and raced internationally across the UAE, Belgium and Europe —
earning wins, podiums and championships in IAME and ROTAX categories.
In 2025, he made his single-seater debut with AKCEL GP at the F4 UAE
Formula Trophy (#99), scoring 3 rookie podiums and 4 top 10 in 7 races.
Simultaneously crowned UAE IAME Senior Rookie Champion and debuted in

campaign with a dominant performance at Dijon-Prenois — winning in

Arthur's debut in endurance racing with M3M Endurance Academy at
Dijon-Prenois. As the youngest driver on the grid, he helped the
#544 crew claim their first overall podium — P2 overall and winner
in the Fun category. Tracks ahead: Spa, Charade, Zandvoort, Zolder
and Daytona.
Where it all started. Arthur discovered karting during COVID and
graduated from the Dubai Karting Academy before racing internationally
across the UAE, Belgium and Europe. In just three seasons he collected
championships, podiums and a World Finals appearance — building the
racecraft, discipline and competitive instinct that now drive his
single-seater and endurance career.
2025
Arthur's final karting season — crowned UAE IAME Senior Rookie Champion

The breakout year. Arthur swept the Dubai O Plate, won the UAE DAMC
Championship, and took his racing to Europe — finishing P3 in IAME
Benelux, P5 in the Championship of the Future and P8 at the IAME
World Finals in Zuera, Spain as the UAE flag carrier.
Arthur added drifting to his skillset in 2025 through the ProDrift
Academy — learning car control, throttle precision and the art of
going sideways at speed. In his very first competitive event in the
UAE Drifting Championship, he finished P2 Rookie and P8 overall,
proving that racecraft from karting and single-seaters translates
directly to the drift world.
Arthur competes in sim racing at the Teleios Dome, Dubai's premier
sim racing centre. He has won multiple races in the Virtual F1 Series
and finished 2nd overall in the championship. Beyond competition,
sim racing is a core part of Arthur's preparation — learning new
tracks, refining racecraft and sharpening data analysis skills
that translate directly to every real-world session.
Beyond his own racing, Arthur mentors and coaches young karters at
the Dubai Kartdrome — passing on the technique, race craft, data
review and mental preparation he has built through years of
international competition. His students have gone on to deliver
strong results in the Champions of the Future Academy Trophy as
well as in the UAE IAME and ROTAX championships.
P2 Overall at Spa-Francorchamps — Franco Fun Festival
At the 8-hour Franco Fun Festival at Spa-Francorchamps,

out of 100+ teams, behind pole-sitter and race winner CG Racing.
M3M Endurance Academy Leads the Belgian Fun Cup Championship
After a strong Dijon weekend — finishing P6 and P7 overall
and winning their Fun class — the M3M Endurance Academy crew
shares the lead of the Belgian Fun Cup championship and sits
P6 overall in the standings.
First Overall Podium at Dijon for M3M Endurance Academy

overall podium (P2) and won the Fun category. At just 15,
Arthur was the youngest driver on the entire grid.
Arthur delivered an astonishing performance at the Dubai
Autodrome round of the F4 UAE Trophy. After an error in
qualifying left him starting Race 3 from P19,
he fought his way up through the field to cross the line in
P6 overall — and clinched a P2 Rookie
podium. A masterclass in race craft and determination.
