Did you know?

Alex started league racing in 2017 and his brother is a Formula 3 driver, which meant they could help each other wherever possible

BIO

Alex started with competitive online racing in 2017, nearly won the AOR championship in his first year, and then took it in him a second attempt. Although Alex doesn't have much history just yet, he's hungry to fix that in the future.
