I am Daria Salameh
Breaking Limits in Karting

About Me

I’m Daria Salameh, a 13-year-old kart racer from the UAE, on a mission to turn my passion into podiums.

What started as casual weekend karting quickly became my dream. The thrill of speed, the challenge of every corner, and the joy of pushing myself to the limit, that’s what drives me.

In March 2025, I entered my first Iron Kart race. Since then, every lap has been a step towards my goal. Recently, I made my official 2-stroke racing debut in the IAME Summer Series at RAK, a big milestone in my journey.

Racing with Purpose

My goal isn’t just to race.
I want to inspire more girls to believe in themselves and take their place in motorsports. Karting is often seen as a boys’ world, but I’m here to help change that, one race at a time.

The Road Ahead

I’m working hard to grow as a driver, gain experience, and one day compete at the highest levels.
Every race, every challenge, every small victory brings me closer to that dream. And with the right support, I believe I can make it

Before every race, I always double-check my necklace. It’s my small lucky ritual that keeps me focused.

My Racing Journey — From Rental Karts to IAME

How It All Started?

My passion for speed started with casual rental karting. But soon, karting became more than just fun, it became my dream. Today, I’m pushing my limits in competitive 2-stroke racing in the UAE.

From Rental Karts to IAME

Rental Kart Beginnings

I started karting just one year ago with rentals. It began as a fun hobby, but I quickly realized how much I loved the speed, focus, and competition.

Iron Kart Racing

In March 2025, I entered my first Iron Kart race — and shortly after, completed a one-hour endurance race with no pitstop, becoming the youngest girl to do so at Al Forsan.

Entering the 2-Stroke

Two months ago, I stepped into competitive 2-stroke racing. My first official IAME Junior Series race was held at RAK in May 2025 — and it’s just the beginning.
