Racing Team India, an all-new Indian endurance racing team, will be competing in the 2021 Asian Le Mans in February. The team will field an all-Indian driver line-up comprising Narain Karthikeyan, Arjun Maini and Naveen Rao.

While Racing Team India has only confirmed its Asian Le Mans entry, it already has its sights set on competing in the renowned 24 Hours of Le Mans next year.

- Racing Team India to drive LMP2-spec ORECA 07
- Driver line-up - Narain Karthikeyan, Arjun Maini and Naveen Rao
- Technical support from Algarve Pro Racing

Joining Karthikeyan are race car drivers Maini and Rao. The team will compete in the LMP2 class, driving an ORECA 07 race car with complete technical support from defending Asian Le Mans Series champions, the Algarve Pro Racing Team. Fittingly, the car’s livery will sport the Indian tricolour.

Maini has just come off a season competing in the 2020 European Le Mans Series with Algarve Pro Racing. “I am glad to be racing again so soon after the 2020 European Le Mans season, and I do believe that the Algarve Pro Racing Team, the defending champions, will give us the best possible chance of securing an entry to the 24 Hours of Le Mans”, he said.

Rao also brings with him a wealth of experience and is the reigning 2020 IMSA Prototype Challenge champion. “I'm super excited to be partnering with Narain and Arjun to bring the first-ever Racing Team India to Le Mans! Le Mans has a magical quality and is the dream of many kids to be a part of”, he added.

JK Tyre will also partner Racing Team India for its debut Asian Le Mans Series outing.

The 2021 edition of the Asian Le Mans Series will comprise a total of four races over two race weekends – on February 5-6 and 19-20. To be held at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, each race will last four hours.

If all goes well, Racing Team India hopes to secure a spot on the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans grid.
