Nikola Tsolov is a Bulgarian driver born in Sofia on December 21st, 2006. Motorsport also has became the passion of the young talent. Now Nikola is following his dream to become a profesional
motoprsport Driver.
He started on the outskirts of Sofia when his parents enrolled him in a driving course. Shortly after, at just 10 years old, Nikola was proclaimed Bulgarian Kart champion in the Mini category, something that he would have repeated one year later and that would have allowed him to make the leap to the international scene.
The successes are numerous, but it is worth highlighting those achieved in 2020 and 2021 competing with DPK FA Alonso Kart. With these chassis have won also other pilots who participate in F1 today such as: Lando Norris, Carlos Saiz Jr., Daniil Kvyat, Oscar Piastri among others.
At the beginning of 2022 Nikola left the world of karting in the best way possible and with an impeccable curriculum. It was time to jump into formulas and to pursue his dream.
In 2022 Nikola makes a first appearance in Formulas together with the Alpine F1
academy.
However, this is not the only support the young driver received. A14 Management, an agency helping young drivers co-founded from the two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso, has been following Nikola since the beginning of the year
providing support in all the aspects to achieve his ambition.
Concerning numbers, the young driver surprised the entire world of motorsport with his ability in the Spanish F4 Championship.
Here below some numbers that distinguish him in 2022:
13 Victories in 21 disputed races.
18 Podiums
15 Pole Position.
Some enviable numbers that opened the doors to the FIA F3 Championship in 2023, where he is making good progress in a very complicated category. Nikola is the third ever youngest FIA F3 driver to score points.
In 2024 is doing the second year in the FIA F3 no any more as a rookie and demonstrating the speed he has behind the wheel. After a challenging start to the season, in May the young Bulgarian driver triumphed in the most prestigious race of the year, the Monaco Grand Prix.
