Ugo Ugochukwu has made history! The son of Nigerian supermodel Oluchi Onweagba and Italian fashion designer Luca Orlandi has become the first Nigerian-American to win the Macau Grand Prix in over 40 years.

Ugo Ugochuckwu, the Nigerian-American racing driver, has won the 2024 FIA FR World Cup. The 17-year-old won the crown at the 71st Macau Grand Prix on Sunday. Ugochukwu was born in New York to Oluchi, a Nigerian fashion model mother, and Luca Orlandi, an Italian fashion designer. He represents the US in car racing.

All eyes will be on Bosnian-Swedish racing driver Dino Beganovic on Sunday as the Formula One hopeful attempts to overcome an 11th-place start on the grid to win the Macau Grand Prix. Beganovic started Saturday’s FIA FR World Cup Qualifying Race in 15th place after crashing out of qualifying the day before.

Macau Grand Prix winner Ugo Ugochukwu says he was "definitely not expecting" to dominate the event by leading every lap of both the qualifying race and the main contest. The McLaren junior topped a chaotic qualifying session by just 0.
