Ten-year-old Bahraini karting sensation Tariq Soofi has been announced as an official driver of Lenovo Kali Kart team for the 2026 karting season in Europe.
As a member of the Italy-based squad, Tariq will be taking part in select races in the WSK Super Master Series, WSK Euro Series, and ACI Italian Karting Championship.
His race debut with Lenovo Kali Kart team is scheduled for the first round of the WSK Euro Series on February 15, in the Italian city of Viterbo.
