Nigerian-American teen, Ugo Ugochukwu has won the 2024 FIA FR World Cup – and the 71st Macau Grand Prix- with a faultless performance throughout the entire weekend.
The 17-year-old becomes the first driver from the USA to win this prestigious event since Bob Earl in 1981.
Ugochukwu, who represents the US in car racing, was born in New York to Nigerian supermodel, Oluchi and Italian fashion designer, Luca Orlandi.
He led from start to finish for Race GP ahead of Olivier Goethe for MP Motorsport and Noel León for KCMG IXO by Pinnacle Motorsport in a race that saw multiple safety car interventions.
Furthermore, Ugochukwu will be buoyed by his performance as he heads to FIA Formula 3 in 2025 – the American topped every single session of the weekend, and while many others around him were losing their cool and heading into the barriers, he didn’t put a foot wrong to overcome the mighty challenge of Macau.
