Defending Northern Regions Bambino champion Alonzo de Oliveira is set for a crucial second round of the 2025 regional championship at Vereeniging Kart Circuit this weekend. The young Johannesburg star heads into the event eager to reclaim the top step of the podium after a mixed outing in the opening round.
De Oliveira showed strong pace at Round 1, securing two runner-up finishes before an unfortunate mechanical issue cut short his podium charge. Despite this setback, he still managed a respectable third-place overall finish, ensuring he remains firmly in title contention.
Fresh from a stellar performance at the first national event of the season at Killarney Kart Circuit, where he finished a remarkable second, De Oliveira carries significant momentum into the weekend. His speed and consistency have been undeniable, and Vereeniging has historically been a stronghold for him. In 2024, he dominated the circuit, winning seven of the nine heats he contested, making him a formidable contender this time around.
With his championship defense in full swing, Alonzo will be looking to maximize his points haul and solidify his position as the driver to beat. With a proven track record at Vereeniging and a strong start to the national campaign, he will be one to watch as the battle for the Northern Regions crown intensifies.
Alonzo is backed by an impressive lineup of sponsors for the 2025 season, including Y2K Germiston, MSLB Projects, Amigos Portugueses, Freddy Hirsch, S.Y. Wholesale Butchery, Hercules Foods, Hercules Sauces, and HPP. Adding to his growing profile, Alonzo will also serve as a brand ambassador for Motorsport Fanatix throughout the season.
