  Angelina Simons Torres is a rising star in karting who has progressed from regional success in the Canary Islands to international competition, recently securing a coveted spot with the prestigious all-female Iron Dames racing team.

  EARLY YEARS

  Born on June 30, 2011, in Spain, Angelina began her karting journey at the age of seven[5]. While specific details about her early childhood experiences are limited, her Spanish heritage and early introduction to motorsport have been foundational elements in her development as a racer.

  Simons Torres built her racing foundation in the X30 Mini class in Spain before advancing to the more competitive X30 Junior category[5]. Her talent quickly became evident as she earned runner-up status in the Canary Islands regional championship and later secured the Junior Vice-Champion title in Spain[1]. These early achievements demonstrated her natural aptitude for racing and competitive spirit, setting the stage for her entry into international competition.
