Biography

Koloc sharing a Mercedes-AMG GT4 with sister Yasmeen and Adam Lacko at the 2022 12 Hours of Spa.

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 and her twin sister Yasmeen is also a racing driver. Koloc has Asperger syndrome.

Born in Dubai, Koloc began her sporting career in tennis at the age of four before an injury prevented her from furthering her career. After taking part in a test in one of her fathers' 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 stock cars, 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.
