Rashid Al Dhaheri (born 8 April 2008) is an Emirati racing driver who is set to compete in the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship for Prema Racing. He previously competed in the Italian F4 Championship for the same team.[1]
Al Dhaheri quickly shone on the European stage of karting, winning the 2019 WSK Super Master Series,[2] and also the 2019 WSK Euro Series in the 60 Mini category.[3] This was followed up by victory at the South Garda Winter Cup in the same category in 2020.[4] Over the course of 2020, Al Dhaheri switched to OK-Junior karts, with a best result of 4th at the Trofeo Andrea Margutti.[5] Al Dhaheri continued in OK-Junior for 2021, winning the WSK Super Master Series again.[6] He continued to have some strong and consistent results in preparation for the step up to OK karts. His move to OK Karting for 2022 sparked some unremarkable results, with his most notable results being 16th in the championship in the WSK Super Master Series[7] and 11th in the Italian ACI Championship.[8]
On 28th December 2022, Prema Racing announced that Al Dhaheri would be joining the team for the 2023 Italian F4 Championship.[9] The season began on 22nd April, and Al Dhaheri secured two seventh-place finishes, giving him 12 points after the conclusion of the first round. Al Dhaheri went on to score 56 more points in the championship, and scored a best finish of 4th at both Monza and Mugello on the way to 10th place in the drivers' standings.[10] Al Dhaheri also competed in the Euro 4 Championship, finishing 12th with Prema. In November, Al Dhaheri competed at the Macau Formula 4 Race at the prestigious Guia Circuit. He finished the qualifying race in 4th, and the final race in 3rd, giving him his first Formula 4 podium. Al Dhaheri also did one round of the 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship, where he won his first Formula 4 race at Sepang.
On 2 January 2024, Al Dhaheri was announced to continue with Prema Racing for the 2024 Italian F4 and Euro 4 Championships.[11] [12] It was later announced that Al Dhaheri would take part in the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship, also with Prema.[13] Al Dhaheri had a very strong winter campaign in F4 UAE, winning two races and picking up five podiums on his way to 4th place in the championship.[14]
Al Dhaheri made his debut in Formula Regional machinery with PHM Racing during the FIA Formula Regional World Cup.[15] He would finish the race but was later disqualified for technical infringements.[16]
In 2025, Al Dhaheri was promoted to the Formula Regional European Championship with Prema Racing, partnering his Italian F4 rivals Freddie Slater and Jack Beeton.[17]
