Armaan in UK for Formula 2 pre-season testing
March 21st, 2011 - 7:22 pm ICT by IANSLondon, March 21 (IANS) Armaan Ebrahim, the 21-year old from Chennai, arrived here well in advance for two rounds of pre-season testing ahead of the 2011 Formula (F2) Two championship beginning April.
Armaan, who returned to F2 for a third season, will be testing at the hallowed Silverstone track Tuesday, March 22 and then at Snetterton March 30.
“I have been training hard during the off-season. The GP2 testing in October last year was a big help and I look forward to a new season while aiming for at least a top-3 finish in the championship if not win it,” said Armaan.
“I will try to secure as many podium finishes as possible as I am quite familiar with the circuits.”
The first of the eight rounds of the 2011 Championship is at Silverstone on April 15-17.
Armaan showcased his potential in the 2010 championship by finishing overall 10th with a podium position in the season’s final round in Valencia, Spain.
“Overall, I was quite happy with my performance last year although it could have been better. At one stage, I was running sixth in the championship, but a few retirements in the second half of the season cost me valuable points,” Armaan said reviewing his 2010 performance.
