Biography
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, but an injury stopped Yasmeen's racing career. Koloc has Asperger syndrome.
Born in Dubai, Aliyyah Koloc began her athletic career in tennis at the age of four, but an injury prevented her from competing in that sport. After taking part in a test in one of her father's racing trucks in early 2019, she switched to motorsport with the goal of competing in the Dakar Rally. 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.
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.
Having combined circuit racing and rally raids for several seasons, in early 2026, her team announced that Koloc would concentrate on rally raids only. Due to regulationary issues around the next-gen cars for the Dakar, the team has opted to concentrate on the FIA European Bajas in what is intended to be a transitional year.
