(21 September 2005)

British Asian racing driver, Adam Khan qualified 8th out of 25 drivers on the Saturday 21 September 2005 at Brands Hatch, came 7th in the Sprint race, and was running in fourth in the main race until a problem with his pit stop dropped him three laps. Adam fought back though, finishing 13th for the race and 9th overall. A very commendable result and demonstrating his ability to run right at the front in future races.

Racing for Pakistan in the first ever A1Grand Prix, Khan commented "It was a privilege to be representing such a great nation in this global racing series. It was the first time that nations competed directly with each other on an equal footing in motorsport, and this gave me the opportunity to make 154 million people in Pakistan very proud".

The A1 Grand Prix series, the brainchild of His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum, member of the ruling family of Dubai, commenced this weekend at Brands Hatch. With 25 nations taking part in 12 races covering 5 continents between September 2005 and March 2006, the series is poised to take the motor racing world by storm.

Adam Khan, aged 20, has competed in the Eurocup Renault V6 series and the British F3 championship. Adam was spotted by Eddie Jordan as a potential champion of the future when he was just seventeen, and has been supported by the team ever since.

Adam Khan has followed a different path to many racing drivers. He has pursued his passion to develop his motorsport career in tandem with his academic studies. Adam holds the equivalent of 7 A levels, and uses his natural intelligence to generate speed and tactical advantage on the track. He has just finished his first year at Kings College University London, but is now putting his studies on hold to concentrate on bringing the A1 Grand Prix Championship home to Pakistan.
