Chennai: Indian racing driver Armaan Ebrahim on Friday confirmed his participation in the Blancpain Lamborghini Trofeo Series in Asia.

The 26-year-old Chennai-based Ebrahim will be driving for works team Dilantha Racing in the six-round series that will conclude on November 22 with a grand finale at the historic Sebring International Raceway in Florida.

After a two-season stint in the World GT Championship in Europe, the hugely experienced Ebrahim opted for the Asia series that he believes will serve as a platform for his future plans. The first round of the series is scheduled for June 20-21 at Fuji, Japan.

“I took some time to finalise the road map ahead in Asian racing as there are some phenomenal developments taking place in the region and keeping this in mind, the Lamborghini series is an ideal platform to position myself for the future,” the JK Tyre Racing brand ambassador said.

“It is a very well packaged and competitive series, and with the past success of Dilantha Racing, I am confident of having a crack at the title.

“This year, I will be driving the new Lamborghini Hurracan GT car and I am eager to put it through the paces during the pre-season testing in June.

“The street races in Malaysia and the World final in Sebring will be the highlights of the series and I would like to thank my prime sponsors JK Tyre for supporting me in this venture.”

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
