Ramez was born on July 9, 1991 and is from Canada.

With many years of racing under his belt and being super quick around tracks, Ramez is a fantastic driver to join our ranks. Most impressive is the fact that Ramez only joined SimRacing few months ago and he is climbing the SimRacing ranks quickly!

Ramez’ motorsports career began in 2007, with SWS leisure karting leading to the Rotax Max Challenge UAE Senior, in which he ended the season second. This was followed up by 10 races in the Formula Renault Campus France, with 2 podiums and a pole position to show for his time in the car. This was the start of a 3 year spell in cars from the French manufacturer, with appearances in the 24H Series Clio Cup class, and seasons in the Formula Renault 2.0 in both the Eurocup and WEC for 2008-09.

Following this Ramez had a quiet few seasons, with appearances in the 2009 Speedcar Series, 2011-12 Maserati Trofeo JBF RAK, and the Gulf Radical Cup. Ramez then competed in the WGA Supercars Middle East Championship, finishing 2nd overall with 3 wins and 6 pole positions.

Ramez competed only in Karting for the next few years, winning the SWS World Finals twice with Batelco Racing, as well as the Dubai Endurance Championship (Pro & Overall class) a total of 7 times. After 6 years being out of a racing car, Ramez then had the chance to race in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East Championship in 2019 in the Pro-Am class, scoring a 100% record with 6 wins out of 6 races.

He is also a certified Class A driving instructor in the UAE and has been active coaching drivers of various skills since 2010. He frequently works for locally based racing teams Dragon Racing and Xcel Motorsport as a driver coach and is always active on track in many different classes of cars.

Ramez, based in Dubai has only recently taken to SimRacing and is proving himself already!
