Aliyyah Koloc (born 1 July 2004) is a racing driver.[1]
Koloc's father Martin is Czech and a former truck racer as well as the owner of the Buggyra Racing Team. Her mother is Seychelloise-Sudanese. Her twin sister Yasmeen used to race with her, they were known as the Dakar Sistaz[2], but an injury stopped Yasmeen's racing career[3]. Koloc has Asperger syndrome.[4]
Born in Dubai, Aliyyah Koloc began her sporting career in tennis at the age of four before an injury prevented her from furthering her career. After taking part in a test in one of her fathers' racing trucks in early 2019, she switched to motorsport with the goal of competing in the Dakar Rally.[5] Starting out in trucks, her program quickly grew to accommodate EuroNASCAR, GT4 and rally raid in order to improve her versatility, leading to a title in the FIA Middle East Cup for Cross-Country Bajas in 2022 ahead of her Dakar debut.[6][7]
Koloc completed her first Dakar in 2023 in the T3 category. Since 2024, she has competed in the top class of the Dakar, the Ultimate. [8]
Having combined circuit racing and rally raids for several seasons, in early 2026, her team announced that Koloc would concentrate on rally raids [9]only. Due to regulationary issues around the next-gen cars for the Dakar, the team has opted to concentrate on the FIA European Bajas [10]in what is intended to be a transitional year.
