Sami Worship Taoufik (born 27 February 2002) is a racing driver of Moroccan descent, born in Spain.

Early stages

Originating from Barcelona and residing in Spain, Taoufik initiated his karting journey in 2007 at the age of five, ultimately capturing four titles in the Spanish Championships.

During the 2015–2016 period, he raced in the OK Junior division, clinching the 2016 WSK Super Master Series OKJ championship while driving for the British outfit Ricky Flynn Motorsport.

Progressing to the OK category in 2017, Taoufik secured the CIK-FIA European Championship title with Ricky Flynn Motorsport. That same year, he was honored with the FIA Rookie of the Year award at just 16 years old, marking him as the youngest ever to receive this accolade.

Formula Renault

In March 2018, Sami committed to Arden International to participate in the Formula Renault Eurocup series.
