ALESSANDRO SARLAS

About

Alessandro Sarlas is a 12 year old British karting driver progressing through the junior ranks with a proven record across both UK and international competition.

His racing journey began at club level, where he developed strong fundamentals across more than ten UK circuits. In 2023, Alessandro contested three championships at Shenington, Kimbolton, and Whilton Mill, finishing Vice Champion at both Shenington and Whilton Mill, establishing himself as one of the standout drivers of his age group.

In 2024, his momentum accelerated with a highly competitive season. Alessandro won the Whilton Mill Club Championship, secured another Vice Champion finish at Shenington, claimed victory at the British Grand Prix Kartmasters WM Plate, achieved pole position at the PFi Festive Cup, and delivered multiple front running performances throughout the year.

The 2025 season marked a significant step forward as Alessandro moved into IAME X30 Inter. Competing against older and more experienced drivers, he won the Shenington Club Championship, confirming his readiness for international junior competition and the next phase of his development.

In 2026, Alessandro steps into the Junior category full time, competing in one of the most demanding development programmes in karting. His season includes the ACI Italian Karting Championship, all WSK series events, and selected elite international races, placing him consistently on track against the strongest junior drivers in Europe. This programme is widely recognised as a key pathway towards professional single seater racing.

Racing in highly competitive environments, Alessandro continues to focus on racecraft, consistency, physical preparation, and performance development, with the long term objective of progressing through the recognised international motorsport ladder.

Racing isn’t just about the finish line — it’s about becoming the best to get there.

Reaching the highest level isn’t a dream, it’s my goal
