TRACING ARMAAN’S
TYRE TRACKS
When the wheels were set rolling…
Armaan Ebrahim, the effervescent Indian racer, lives
his life like the track marshal is about to flag off the
starting grid, ALWAYS READY FOR THE CHALLENGE.
He was an early starter who became an instant
sensation. The engine that started when he was 14
just keeps on revving.
Armaan is a go-getter and when he brings that attitude
to the tracks, it is pure magic. His racing history is an
affirmation of his capability. At 14, he won both
National Karting and National Racing Championships,
and two years later became the youngest driver in the
world to sit behind the wheel of an A1 GP car.
It is not every day that a new icon rises to take the
world by storm. The dashing Armaan has a quality
about him that shouts out how rare a phenomenon he
is. His domination over Indian single-seater racing is
The gears shifted…
unchallenged; now, he has gone on to drive and win
some of the most prestigious championships in the
world. As a sports-loving nation, we are fortunate to
witness this young motorsports champion’s meteoric
rise.
Armaan Ebrahim is currently racing in the
BLANCPAIN GT World Series.
Success came to Armaan very early, but it didn’t come
easy. Everything he had achieved was a result of his
persistence and hard-working nature. He conquered
championships and kept on moving to the next level,
always upgrading his skills and evolving to adapt to
the higher standards demanded by the bigger
leagues.
As the speed picked up…
National Champion at 14; world’s youngest driver in
A1 GP at 16; the accolades kept accumulating. But not
one to rest on his laurels, Armaan hungered for more.
He became the youngest driver ever to participate in
the GP2 Asia Championship, where he finished in the
top 10. In 2011, Armaan became the first Asian to
make the podium in F2 Championship at
Circuit-de-Valencia.
The F2 website voted Armaan the "Driver with the Best
Race Form". His average shows he overtook 8 cars
per race.
Armaan started with Karting then moved on to a
successful stint in Formula LGB. Then came Formula
BMW Asia; still, the ascent had just begun… He won
the glory of representing Team India at the A1 Grand
Prix Championship, made a claim to the British
Formula Renault Championship, and drove in Formula
V6 Asia where he bagged five race wins.
He crossed the chequered flag and kept
on driving!
Armaan has taken the racing world by storm and over
the past few years has garnered tremendous
recognition and respect in both Indian and
international racing circles. He has captured the
imagination of a billion people with his exploits on the
track and his charm off it.
Smart, tenacious, edgy, with a never-say die attitude –
Armaan is the GenNext racer going for GOLD!
ARMAAN’S
TRAINING AND FITNESS
Armaan made a clear choice when he was a
child; he was going to become a racer and he
was going to be good at it. Choosing a sport in
which every second is a battle for survival, he is
well aware of the challenges ahead. He has to
think on his feet and to do that he needs to be in
top physical and psychological form. And he’s
ready for it.
Armaan has an intense fitness regime. His basic
routine includes stretching, core exercises, cardio
and weight training. Combined with his fitness
training is his nutrition programme, to keep his
body in perfect balance and build endurance. He
is committed to his fitness programme that is
exclusively designed for him and never misses a
day. His desire to succeed is far bigger than the
hardships he has to endure.
Paying it forward…
He likes to inspire young minds. What Armaan
has gained from being a motor racer is priceless.
Having met racing greats, even competing
against some, he was given small but valuable
advice which has helped him become a better
racer. He likes to do the same for young racers
who are just entering the racing arena and look
up to him. He knows from experience how
inspiring that can be.
Armaan’s advice for young racers:
“The first thing about motorsports in to be realistic
and honest with yourself. Every time you are in a
car or a kart, make sure you maximize every lap.”
