Karting

Al Dhaheri quickly shone on the European stage of karting, winning the 2019 WSK Super Master Series,[4] and also the 2019 WSK Euro Series in the 60 Mini category.[5] This was followed up by victory at the South Garda Winter Cup in the same category in 2020.[6] Over the course of 2020, Al Dhaheri switched to OK-Junior karts, with a best result of 4th at the Trofeo Andrea Margutti.[7] Al Dhaheri continued in OK-Junior for 2021, winning the WSK Super Master Series again.[8] He continued to have some strong and consistent results in preparation for the step up to OK karts. His move to OK Karting for 2022 sparked some unremarkable results, with his most notable results being 16th in the championship in the WSK Super Master Series[9] and 11th in the Italian ACI Championship.[10]
