Indian racer Armaan Ebrahim has secured a drive at Dilantha Racing to compete in the Blancpain Lamborghini Trofeo Asia Series beginning from June 20 in Fuji, Japan.
Ebrahim, who moved to sports car racing couple of seasons ago from single seaters, is looking foward to a fresh challenge.
"It took some time decide what I would I do in 2015 but it is finally done. It is a new series in Asia which is an emerging market. Looking forward to the drive the new Lamborghini Hurracan GT car, it is has more power than last year's car and the chassis has been tweaked too," Ebrahim told PTI.
He will be driving the car in pre-season testing ahead of the six round series that begins at Fuji on June 20-21. His teammate will Dilantha Malagamuwa, who also happens to be the team owner besides being the sole Sri Lankan driver of international repute.
Ebrahim, 25, said the survival in the expensive world of motorsports remains tough and he is satisfied with the drive he landed this season.
The grand finale will take place at the famous Sebring International Raceway in Florida on November 22.
The Chennai-born racer also expressed happiness over motorsports finally being recognised by the government.
"I am glad it has finally happened. That way they won't call motorsports 'entertainment' anymore," he added.
