BUGGYRA Academy driver Aliyyah Koloc completes the AVL RACING Ambassador Program

Koloc, who has both Seychelles and Czech citizenship, was born in Dubai in 2004. Currently, the young talent is preparing for her first start in the famous Rally Dakar in 2023 within BUGGYRA Academy. Koloc already gained a lot of experience in motorsports: At 16, she crowned herself the youngest winner in the French Truck Championship. That same year, she set a new World Speed Record with a five-ton 1.900 bhp Race Truck. On a 500-meter track, she reaches a top speed of 284.13 kilometers per hour.

 

Koloc, who is an advocate of equality, finished in the top 10 right away in her rookie season, in the European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC), with her highlight so far being the pole position she took at her home track in Most, Czech Republic. Furthermore, Koloc has already gained important experience in a Mercedes-AMG GT3 in 2020 racing for the Buggyra Zero Mileage GT team. In 2021, Koloc will compete in the ETRC again and selected GT3 as well as GT4 races. Her next big goal is to compete in the Dakar Rally in 2023 and AVL RACING will actively support her on this adventure.

 

„I am very excited about this cooperation. I feel racing is in my blood and my progress is visible every lap. I am grateful for the support and trust I get. “

 

Aliyyah Koloc will use the unique AVL RACING simulator in Graz, Austria, as part of the Young Driver Program to prepare for the upcoming tasks. The four AVL RACING ambassadors Tatiana Calderon, Aliyyah Koloc, Ferdinand Habsburg and Finn Gehrsitz will represent the company in 2021 worldwide. From Super Formula in Japan to the Le Mans 24h or Truck Racing, the four will compete in a wide variety of motorsport categories.
