Strong race pace and storming starts were the hallmark of Armaan
Ebrahim's 2009 season in F2, and the Indian pilot often emerged at
the end of the first lap well up on his grid position.
This was most spectacular in Brno, where Armaan enjoyed his two
best finishes of the season - improving an incredible total of 24
places in the two races to claim sixth in each from 19th and 17th
on the grid respectively. Such form confirmed his reputation as one
of India's best young racing prospects, a standing he earned after
making history at the age of 16 when he became the youngest ever
competitor to represent his nation in the A1GP World Cup of
Motorsport, despite mainly competing in Formula BMW with a mere
140bhp!
Further impressive performances followed on several occasions for
Armaan, who resided in the UK whilst competing in Formula Two last
year. He scored his third points finish of the season with an
eighth place in race one at Donington Park, and he also ran well at
Oschersleben and Barcelona, finishing inside the top ten on both
occasions and enjoying his best qualifying of the year in Spain
with a terrific 9th.
Prior to joining F2, Armaan contested races in both GP2 Asia and
A1GP for Team India. He also took the runner-up spot overall in the
2007 Formula Renault V6 Asia Series.
In 2010 Armaan is particularly looking forward to racing at
both Silverstone and Monza. He plans to consistently run at the
front of the field during the course of the season and is targeting
his maiden win in Formula Two.
