Racer Armaan Ebrahim has seen the world while participating in races across continents. But the 30-year-old has fond memories of his first trip abroad for an event.
“My first race happened to be a solo trip. I was 13 and went to Malaysia for a go-karting race. I had never been abroad before to race professionally. It was quite an experience,” he said.
Ebrahim was speaking to ETPanache on the sidelines of an event in Mumbai. Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, the racer cut a smart figure. Elaborating further on his maiden voyage, he said it was a “great learning experience”.
“I also ended up with a great result and came back smiling. I couldn’t wait to get back. That was the time when I knew what I wanted to do really,” he added.

After spending more than a decade in the sport, Button is still considered to be one of the racers who enjoyed his life in the fast lane off as well as on the track. During his early days, he was often thought of as spending more time holidaying on yachts and hanging out with models than focusing on racing. And Formula 1’s one time playboy doesn’t plan on slowing down, enjoying the luxe lifestyle with his new girlfriend and Playboy model Brittny Ward in his opulent mansion in Monaco and £5 million sprawling five-bedroom pad in Los Angeles.
