From an early age, Fairuz began displaying a natural aptitude to speed – the kind that you find on four wheels. As a child, when most other kids his age were watching cartoons (on Saturday mornings) or playing with their friends, Fairuz could be found on a go-kart circuit.

By the age of 12, he was already competing with senior drivers in international races. In 1995, Fairuz, 13, clinched his first victory in one of the championships – the Formula TKM Race in Buckmore Park, England, which became the base from which he would launch his bid for Formula 1 or better known as F4F1..

A host of other championships followed, including 5 times consecutively reigning Champion of the ASEAN Kart Prix, 1996 - 2000. In 2000, Fairuz moved to UK to participate in his first International series in single seater - Formula Ford Zetec Championship where he finished overall 12th. And from there onwards, there is no looking back for him but to move on GP2 in 2005 and 2006.
