Biography

Ming began his career aged 6, when his father Stanley – a former motorcycle racer – bought him a go-kart for his birthday. [2] Having competed in karting across the Caribbean, he relocated to Florida in 2015 to pursue a career in cars. He made his début in U.S. F1600, and simultaneously began testing in Formula 4 with a view to contesting the Mexican championship – completing an exhibition at the South Dakota Circuit in Guyana in an effort to garner local sponsorship. [3] [4]

Ming won the NACAM F4 Championship on his second attempt in a campaign that saw him win a race supporting the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix. [5] [6] Following this, Ming secured a promotion to the U.S. F2000 National Championship on the Road to Indy ladder, and after scoring 6 podiums in 28 races he fell back to regional racing after a handful of outings in the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand. [7] [8]

Following multiple years out of the sport, Ming returned to racing at the 2024 Games of the Future in Sochi, Russia, finishing 6th in the Formula 4 class alongside team-mate Cristian Cantú. [9]

Ming was also a national Junior Chess Champion. [10]
