GT4 Championship: Akhil’s Circuit Zandvoort experience to come handy in 3rd round
Bengaluru/UNI: Akhil Rabindra, the only Indian driver in the European GT4 Championship, hopes to cash in on his previous experience as the third round of the race starts on Friday at the Circuit Zandvoort in Netherland.
Akhil, alongside his 19-Year-Old French teammate, Hugo Conde, will aim for a better finish this time given his previous experience on the track in 2019.
The Europeans GT4 Championship’s third round will be held from June 18- June 20 which will be viewed LIVE on the GT4 World YouTube Page.
The 24-year-old Bengaluru born Akhil Rabindra also has enjoyed the rare distinction of not only being the only Indian on the European GT4 Championship Grid but he has also bagged a spot for the third straight year with the Aston Martin Racing (AMR) Driver Academy, inching closer towards realizing his dream of landing the coveted Academy Driver’s contract at the Aston Martin Racing Academy.
Akhil also is the only Asian to have made it to the AMR Driver Academy since 2019.
He will be racing for the second time at the Circuit Zandvoort.
Earlier, Akhil with his team mate David Griessner raced for PROSport Performance at the ADAC GT4 CHAMPIONSHIP in 2019.
The duo finished at P4 in race one and were aiming for a P5 finish but due to a technical problem they finished at P21.
'We have raced at Circuit Zandvoort , but we had to face a technical glitch in our last outing at the circuit. We really want to make sure that we go a step better than the last time and again claim a better position,' said Akhil ahead of Round three of the European GT4 Championship.
'We will give our best, with competition getting higher a lot would be depending upon our driving. I am really looking forward to getting back on the racetrack with AGS Events Racing,' he added.
Akhil finished at P13 and P14 in the Silver Category in round one (Monza) and two (Circuit Paul Ricard) respectively after retiring in race one of both the races due to technical glitch.
Circuit Zandvoort which is a 4.2252km long track consisting of 19 turning points is one motorsport race track which has hosted a number of major races. Circuit Park Zandvoort played host to the first race in the 2006/07 of A1 Grand Prix.
