BIO

Tamás Gender Junior, a Generation Alpha racing driver, is one of the most promising young talents in Hungarian motorsport. Racing is literally in his blood: his father’s name has long been associated with the smell of gasoline, as Tamás Gender Senior - team principal of GRT - led one of the most successful formula racing teams in Hungary.

Tamás received his first go-kart at the age of 4, initially as a way to introduce him to the sport. However, it quickly became clear that this was something much bigger, something worth taking seriously. His talent and dedication soon opened the door to the international scene: in February 2022, at just 12 years old, he signed with one of the world’s most renowned factory karting teams, Parolin.

His development was further strengthened when he was selected for Hungary’s “national team” of motorsport, joining the Hungarian Motorsport Academy support program in 2022–2023.

From 2023, he competed in the OK Junior category with Forza Racing, where he also made his debut at the FIA Karting World Championship. In 2024, he stepped up to the highest level of international karting, the OK category, racing with the VictoryLane team. In his very first senior race, at just 14 years old, he finished 5th in the final among the world’s best drivers.

Thanks to his consistent international performance over the years, 2026 marked a new chapter in his career: he moved into formula racing, continuing as a driver for the professional team R-ace GP. At the beginning of the year, he debuted in the strongest Formula 4 winter championship, the Formula Middle East UAE4 series.

His goal is clear: to become Hungary’s next Formula 1 driver.
