Racing career

Stepping up to Mini Max in 2021, El Feghali once again won the RMC International Trophy and the MENA Nations Cup—which he won in both the Mini and Micro classes.[7][8] Continuing in Mini in 2022, he won the RMC Grand Finals and finished third in the RMC International Trophy on his Junior Max debut.[9][10] He progressed to Junior Max full-time in 2023, contesting the Rotax Max Euro Trophy and the inaugural Champions of the Future Academy Program,[11] whilst also making his sole appearance in the World Championship at Franciacorta, where he finished thirteenth.[12]
El Feghali then closed his karting career with his 2024 campaign in Senior Max, winning the Lebanese Championship before joining the Red Bull Junior Team after entering their Driver Search programme during the summer.[13]
