Career

edit

Ali competed in karting during his formative years, most notably winning the Canadian National Championship and representing his nation at the 2021 Rotax World Finals.[3] He moved into race cars in 2022, first testing a Ligier JS P320 at Vallelunga with the Inter Europol Competition team with the coaching of category stalwart Colin Noble, alongside whom Ali was scheduled to make his debut at the Petit Le Mans event.[4] However, the team withdrew prior to the weekend.

Ali's debut would come at the start of 2023, where he took part in the Asian Le Mans Series for Inter Europol.[5] Having initially been joined by brother Daniel and bronze-ranked James Dayson, the former would be replaced with John Schauerman prior to the commencement of the campaign.[6] The lineup struggled during the four races, failing to score a single point and finishing last in the LMP3 standings.[7] Ali raced in the European Le Mans Series for the remainder of 2023, partnering Matthew Richard Bell at EuroInternational.[8] In a season dominated by the #17 of Cool Racing, Ali and Bell were able to establish themselves as consistent points scorers, even taking a podium at Spa where Bell led for a large part of the event.[9][10] The highlight of the year came at Portimão in a race majorly affected by wet conditions; Bell created a gap at the front which Ali consolidated to take his first win in car racing.[11][12] This result earned the #11 second place in the LMP3 standings.

For the following year, Ali and Bell remained at EuroInternational in the ELMS.[2][13] After scoring a podium during the season opener in Spain, the pair finished fourth in France and won at Imola, with Ali pulling away from Jean-Baptiste Lahaye in the final stint.[14][15][16] In Spa, Ali was spun into the gravel at Les Combes during a safety car restart, but was able to recover with the help of another safety car.[17] Through a good strategy by EuroInternational Ali was able to move into the lead, winning for a second successive time.[18]
