Keanu, born in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, steps into Eurocup-3 with a strong racing résumé across karting and single-seater categories.

The 18-year-old made an instant impression in his car racing debut in 2023, competing in two major Formula 4 series: the Formula 4 UAE Championship and the F4 Spanish Championship.

Keanu continued the momentum the following season, taking a significant leap forward in both series. He finished third overall in the Formula 4 UAE Championship with multiple wins and podiums, and claimed runner-up honours in the F4 Spanish Championship after recording four victories, nine podiums and five pole positions.

In 2025, Keanu raced in the GB3 Championship with Hitech, where he achieved a victory and five podiums, showcasing his ability to compete at the front in a highly competitive field. Ahead of the season, he was also announced as a member of the Alpine Academy.

Before moving into cars, he captured the IAME X30 Junior karting title in the UAE and built a solid foundation in competitive international karting.
