Formula driver Enaam Ahmed, a British-Pakistanian, set the third-fastest time during the morning session at the illustrious Indianapolis Motor Speedway road circuit.
Some of the top racers compete on the 2.4-mile road circuit in Indianapolis, which has 14 bends. Brands and organisations only use top racers to operate vehicles on these peculiar circuits.
The test was conducted in advance of the Firestone Indy NXT Championship Round 2. The day began with a chilly morning, which caused a one-hour delay and forced the cancellation of lunch.
Twenty drivers started racing as soon as the action began. Ahmed was competing in a series against more seasoned drivers, which made his third-best time of 1:14.86 all the more remarkable.
Hunter McElrea of New Zealand set the quickest time, 1:14.62.
According to Ahmed, who spoke with this reporter, Pakistani professionals who are stationed in the US are encouraging him to compete in the Indianapolis 500, the greatest spectacle in racing, in 2024. He stated that his upcoming race will take place at Birmingham, Alabama’s Barber Motorsports Park on April 30.
Ahmed has broken the records of Formula One drivers Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen by being the first and only Pakistani to win a World Championship in Karting.
Furthermore, Ahmed broke Ayrton Senna’s record by winning 13 races in a single season, becoming the first high-level Formula Championship champion in Pakistani history, winning the British Formula 3 Championship, and more.
The 23-year-old is creating waves across the globe with his winning streaks on the challenging tracks, driving automobiles at an average speed of 200 mph, and making sure that both the Pakistani and British flags are displayed on his vehicle.
Ahmed is one of the most talented and intriguing young racers in all of motorsport. Since he was 14 years old, he has been setting records and winning titles.
Because to his reputation as the most successful British Formula 3 driver in history, the teenager is also the most successful racing driver of Pakistani descent in the history of motorsport.
Ahmed, who was raised in London by Pakistani parents, became interested in racing when he was eight years old. His parents began supporting his interest by enrolling him in kid-friendly local Go-Karting courses, but they had no idea that their son would grow up to win the European and World Championships at the age of 14 – one year before Lewis Hamilton, who was 15 at the time.
