Proud! Indonesian driver Qarrar Firhand has achieved an extraordinary feat by dominating the opening round of the WSK Euro Series 2026 at the International Circuit in Viterbo, Italy. Competing in the OK Final category on Saturday, 14 February 2026 local time, the young driver, representing Ward Racing, delivered a flawless performance. Qarrar swept to victory from the heats through to the pre-final and final stages, solidifying his reputation as a world-class talent.

Despite the slippery track due to rain, Qarrar proved unstoppable, finishing the final race well ahead of his Spanish teammate, Benjamin Manach, by a commanding margin of 4.679 seconds. His speed and consistency set him apart from the elite European competitors. This perfect result propelled Qarrar to the top of the provisional standings in the Euro Series OK Championship with 111 points, far ahead of his closest rival, Germany’s Luke Kornder, who has 55 points.

Moreover, Qarrar was the only driver to record lap times around 1:03.800, reaching a top speed of 100.4 km/h. His victory in Viterbo is more than just a season opener; it affirms that Indonesian drivers can compete and dominate on the European racing stage. This success boosts his confidence ahead of his debut in the British Formula 4 series later this year.

Qarrar Firhand’s achievements would not have been possible without support from key sponsors. He expressed gratitude to major backers such as Pertamina, Bank BRI, and Telkomsel, which have continued to support his international career. With this outstanding performance, Qarrar is firmly on track to carry the red and white of Indonesia towards his grand ambition of reaching the highest levels of global motorsport.
