Racing career

Karting (2017–2024)

El Feghali began karting at the age of four.[3] After winning the Lebanese Championship in 2017 and 2018, he made his debut in international competition during the latter year, taking part in the RMC Grand Finals in the Micro Max class.[4] He remained in Micro Max over the next two years, claiming runner-up in the Lebanese Championship the following year, before winning the MENA Nations Cup and the RMC International Trophy in 2020.[5][6]

Stepping up to Mini Max in 2021, El Feghali once again won the RMC International Trophy and the MENA Nations Cup—which he won in both the Mini and Micro classes.[7][8] Continuing in Mini in 2022, he won the RMC Grand Finals and finished third in the RMC International Trophy on his Junior Max debut.[9][10] He progressed to Junior Max full-time in 2023, contesting the Rotax Max Euro Trophy and the inaugural Champions of the Future Academy Program,[11] whilst also making his sole appearance in the World Championship at Franciacorta, where he finished thirteenth.[12]

El Feghali then closed his karting career with his 2024 campaign in Senior Max, winning the Lebanese Championship before joining the Red Bull Junior Team after entering their Driver Search programme during the summer.[13]

Formula 4 (2024–present)

Following his successes in kart racing, El Feghali made his junior formulae debut in the F4 Spanish Championship, contesting the final two rounds as a guest driver for Drivex; across the two rounds, he took a best result of twelfth in race one at Barcelona-Catalunya.[14]

Remaining with Drivex for 2025, El Feghali competed in the pre-season Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship as he also returned for his full rookie season in the F4 Spanish Championship.[15][16] In the Winter Championship, he took his maiden podium on debut at Jerez by finishing third,[17] before repeating the same feat at Portimão,[18] which helped him to secure tenth in the standings.[19]

In the main championship, El Feghali finished fifteenth and eighteenth in the first two races at Aragón, before taking his maiden points in race three by finishing seventh.[20] After a top result of ninth at Navarra,[21][22] He achieved his maiden podium in the series with his third-placed finish in race two at Portimão.[23]
