JOSHUA DUERKSEN: THE ASCENT.

From the fiercely competitive grids of FRECA to making history on the global stage of FIA Formula 2. Joshua Duerksen’s rise through the single-seater ranks has been a testament to pure talent and relentless determination, culminating in his milestone as the first Paraguayan driver to reach the F1 feeder series.

I had the privilege of working as his personal photographer during his 2022 Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA) campaign. Covering the intense race weekends at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, this reportage offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the focus, pressure, and raw speed of a young driver laying the groundwork for a historic career.
