KARTING

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 with 3 wins and 6 podiums while simultaneously making his F4 debut.

DRIFTING

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.

SIM RACING

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 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.
