His Story

Yoram’s racing journey began at just 9 years old when he stepped into the high-stakes arena of competitive karting. Throwing himself into the fierce IAME Cadet Series, Yoram quickly learned how to carve out passing lanes, manage race pace, and defend under pressure. That raw track time laid the groundwork for a dominant run in the Sodi World Series (SWS), where he racked up multiple podium finishes against far more experienced fields.

Recognizing that modern motorsport requires absolute adaptability, Yoram expanded his training ground into sim racing. He brought his track-proven instincts to Monza Barcade, where he immediately turned heads by capturing podium finishes in both high-intensity wheel-to-wheel sprints and high-stamina endurance events.

Yoram bridges the gap between grassroots karting and top-tier sim racing. With sharp reflex speed, telemetry-driven discipline, and years of wheel-to-wheel combat already under his belt at age 12, Yoram isn't just participating in the future of Philippine motorsport, he’s actively driving it forward.

We qualified P4, but right out of the gate on Lap 1, Johann Villena took a hit from another car and dropped down to P7. Instead of panicking, he put his head down, dialed in a fierce pace, and put on a clinic, climbing all the way back to P2 and building a massive
