Narain Karthikeyan, Karun Chandok & now Armaan Ebrahim is making news in the world of motorsports. There is no way I could watch the GP2 Asia series live on TV but I watched the crisp coverage on NDTV 24×7. The news channel is fantastic, the detailed coverage had my attention throughout.
Young Indian racer Armaan Ebrahim’s career received a huge fillip as he finished in the top ten in the gruelling GP2 Asia Series in Sentenul, Indonesia, on Sunday.
After his senior compatriot Karun Chandhok achieved a podium finish in Dubai last month, it was the turn of 18-year-old Ebrahim to complete the race for a ninth place finish, 14.556 seconds behind first placed Fairuz Fauzy (Super Nova), who clocked 45min, 20.990 secs. Just over five seconds later, Chandhok finished 13th, timing 45 min, 25.966 secs.
“After a horrifying first race on Saturday, it is a fantastic feeling to finish among the top ten today in only my second race. I am quite confident I can be right up there with the best in the world below Formula One”
With heavy rains rendering the track completely wet, the safety car had to be brought on.
Drivers found it difficult to get a clear view during the whole race with muddy water splashing on to their windscreens.
It was a spectacular finish for the youngest driver on the grid, particularly on his maiden season in one of the toughest events held under the aegis of FIA. The Chennai boy was elated as he was able to finish in ninth spot.
NDTV 24×7 in US is a boon for me as I love all kind of sports but can’t watch any of the sports live where India is participating. The news channel is available in the US through DirecTv.
