Armaan wins Grand Race in style

Sepang : Malaysia : June 24, 2007

Armaan Ebrahim soaked in the pressure to perfection by winning the Formula Renault V6 Grand Race held at the F1 Sepang circuit in Malaysia today.

After having won the sprint race yesterday starting from 4th on the grid, Armaan started today’s race from Pole position. The warm up this morning went well for Armaan as his engineer Patrick Roberts tuned the car to near perfection. A few practice starts during the warm up got Armaan well settled for the Grand Race which started at 1.45 pm Malaysian time in the sweltering heat with track temperatures reaching close to 50 degrees centigrade.

Marchy Lee from Hong Kong, James Winslow from the UK, Earl Bamber from New Zealand and Seth Ingram from USA were all set to make up for yesterday’s race.

Armaan got off the line with a perfect start and had a 10 metre gap going into the first corner. By lap 3, Armaan had pulled out a 4 second lead over Marchy Lee. By lap 10 Armaan had a 15 second lead and continued to hammer the throttle down. Armaan’s times throughout the 20 lap race over the 5.6 km long circuit was a treat to watch as he was continuously in the 2 min 01 sec lap times for the entire 20 laps. Something which is most crucial for a quality driver.
