Zayn Sofuoğlu (born 11 April 2019) is the son of five-time Supersport World Championship title-winner Kenan Sofuoğlu, and Dutch-Algerian Julia Looman Sofuoğlu.
Zayn Sofuoğlu started riding motorcycles when he was 18-month-old.[1] At the age of three, Sofuoğlu was driving his parents' 986-horsepower Ferrari SF90 Stradale around a race track.[2][3] To enable his son to view the track and reach the driving pedals, his father attached on extension pedals, and installed a baby seat in the driver's seat.[3]
On 20 April 2024, Sofuoğlu began racing in karts nine days after turning five years old, making him the Turkey's youngest karting driver.[4] The Borusan Otomotiv Motorsport driver competes in the 2024 Motul Türkiye Karting Championship, and won his debut-race in the micro category.[5]
