The Short Story Of Narain Karthikeyan, India's First EVER F1 Driver

Narain would show an interest in motorsports from a very early age, he took inspiration from his father, a talented rally driver who won the South India Rally seven times. Narain set himself a goal, and that was to become India’s first ever Formula One driver. So with that in mind, let’s look at his early motorsport career. Narain would see some decent results, with a podium in Formula Maruti, an open wheel, single seater category that is made and raced in India. He would later become a semi finalist in the Pilote Elf Competition driving a Formula Renault car but then returned to India to continue racing in Formula Maruti. Then Narain would compete in the Formula Vauxhall Junior championship in Great Britain, something he enjoyed and gained valuable experience from. In 1994 he would race in the Formula Ford Zetec series as a number 2 driver for foundation racing team. He would score a podium that year at Estoril in a support race for the Portuguese Grand Prix. Narain would compete in the British Formula Ford Winter Series, win the championship, and become the first Indian driver to win any championship in Europe. Quite an awesome achievement, if you ask me.
