Firas started karting at seven years old and built his motorsport foundation by competing in categories such as Stock Light and Fórmula Delta. In 2025, he won the Brazil Kart Cup OKN, one of the main achievements of his career so far.
Joining NASCAR Brasil represents a new step in his development. “I started this year in touring cars, competing in Stock Light, and wanted to race in more categories to gain experience. Then this opportunity arose to race in NASCAR Brasil with Team RC. I am very happy and motivated for this new challenge,” said the driver.
His debut at Velocitta is seen by him as an important moment in national motorsport. “It means a lot to me. NASCAR Brasil is one of the biggest categories in Brazilian motorsport, and being part of this grid is a great source of pride,” he said.
Focused on quickly adapting to the new car, he expects a competitive debut: “The expectation is to adapt as quickly as possible to do a good job and aim for a positive result right from the start,” he added.
