My Take

What strikes me about Soheil Ayari is how quietly complete his early resume is. Born in the spa town of Aix-les-Bains to an Iranian father and French mother, he climbed the ladder rung by rung: French Formula Ford in 1994, Formula Three in 1996, then the Macau Grand Prix in 1997. That trajectory screams genuine talent, yet he never became a household F1 name, settling instead into the craftsman's world of endurance and touring cars. I have a soft spot for drivers like this, the ones connoisseurs respect more than casual fans do. The fact that he still maintains an active racing presence tells me the passion never cooled.

Overview

Soheil Ayari (born 5 April 1970) is a French-Iranian race car driver born in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie, from an Iranian father and a French mother. He won the French Formula Ford championship of 1994, Formula Three championship of 1996 and the Macau Grand Prix of 1997.
