Young Emirati graduates from F4 to Formula Regional
PREMA Racing is delighted to announce that Rashid Al Dhaheri will stay within the team's family in 2025 and will be moving up to the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine.
The Abu Dhabi native has been competing with the team since the start of his career. Coming from a strong karting career including multiple WSK titles, Al Dhaheri made his debut in single-seaters in the 2023 Italian Formula 4 Championship and Euro 4 Championship, experiencing a positive rookie campaign.
Later in 2023, he made his F4 Southeast Asia debut and claimed his maiden win. He continued to impress in his home series, the 2024 F4 UAE Championship, with two wins and fourth place in the series. He later achieved two podiums in Euro 4 and Italian F4 before making his Formula Regional debut in post-season testing and in the Macau FR World Cup.
Rene Rosin - Team Principal
"We are extremely pleased to continue working with Rashid. He is a skilled driver with a very smart approach and having been with us since his very first days in racing, he knows the team very well. He is fully part of the family and there is great chemistry between us. We know that stepping up from F4 to FRECA is not easy, but, from what we have seen so far, we are confident that Rashid will be a very quick learner."
