Kenan Sofuoglu’s Five-Year-Old Son Wins First Motorcycle Championship

Son to former five-time World Supersport champion Kenan Sofuoglu, Zayn Sofuoglu, has continued to build on his very impressive exploits by winning his first two-wheel championship.

Less than two months ago Zayn Sofuoglu reportedly broke the fastest recorded top speed for a child, doing so in a Lamborghini no less. But Kenan's already famous child has now gone on to secure a domestic supermoto championship win in Turkiye.

Zayn Sofuoglu’s rise to fame began at the age of three when he was behind the wheel of a Ferrari at his dad’s karting track in their homeland. Since then, Zayn has continued to build a reputation that no other child his age can compete with.

Now five years old, his reported top speed record in August saw him reach over 200mph while driving a Lamborghini. As a result of his mind-blowing achievements, the youngster has an Instagram following of over 3.8 million. 

But his impressive one-off feats are now being backed up with consistent success after he won a supermoto championship on Sunday. Zayn reportedly broke the lap record at the Usak Municipality supermoto circuit while riding a 50cc bike during Sunday’s race.

As far as five-year-olds go, Zayn might be the most talented to ever set foot on a motorcycle and his success seems like it will inevitably lead to a long career in racing.  Add to that his exploits with four wheels, as he is also currently racing in the Turkish Karting Championship, and the little lad might be the ultimate pint-sized petrolhead!

Zayn’s father Kenan remains a big presence on the world stage as he manages Toprak Razgatlioglu, who has his first opportunity to clinch the 2024 World Superbike title this weekend at Estoril. If he does it would be his second superbike title and first with BMW.
