JK Tyre brand ambassador, Armaan Ebrahim, will be the first Indian driver to represent the country and compete for the BMW Sports Trophy in the FIA GT1 World Series. He finalized a full one-year contract to represent Team India GT1 Team. The GT1 World Series is a new series run by Stephane Ratel Organisation (SRO), which also organises the FIA GT1 World Championship.

The GT1 World series will see Armaan moving from formula cars to GT cars and though he got a chance to race one in Moscow for Team SunRed, this will certainly be a new challenge for him.

He along with teammate Matteo Cressoni from Italy, will be driving the 550 bhp BMW Z4 and with manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, Mclaren, Audi, Lamborghini, Ford, Aston Martin, Porsche, Nissan and Ferrari participating in this event, one can imagine how high the stakes are going to be.

Part of Team India GT1 Team, Armaan will get his first outing in the car on the 21st of March in Zolder, Belgium. The first race will take place in Nogaro, France on the 1st of April.
