Ben Anh Nguyen says learning the circuit and finishing safely are his priorities as he looks towards the 2026 FIA F4 World Cup. Thanh Nien's October 17 interview follows his runner-up result in Formula Trophy Malaysia.
The driver, whose full name is Nguyen Hoai Nam Anh, is the son of Thu Huong and businessman Nguyen Hoai Nam. The report describes him as a first-year motorsport engineering student at Purdue in the United States.
Experience before a finishing position
Ben Anh described the 6.12-kilometre Guia Circuit as demanding, with narrow sections and barriers close to the track. He wants to learn its characteristics, avoid mistakes and reach the finish rather than prioritise a particular placing.
Those comments describe his intention and preparation, not a World Cup race already completed. The report also recalls a 4SS Sprint go-kart title in 2024, when he was fifteen.
Combining study and practice
His interest began with model cars and developed into years of simulator training. He also studied vehicle technology and attended a summer programme in California while at school.
At university, he continues simulator work alongside his studies. He credited choosing the right team and instructor, as well as his parents' support, with helping his development. Living in a dormitory is also part of learning greater independence.
The interview establishes his goals and background. Final participation and any race result still require the event's official starting list and completed competition information rather than being inferred from those ambitions.
