How a Bangladeshi racer made it to Formula 4 For decades, the biggest barrier for Bangladesh’s aspiring motorsport drivers may not have been a lack of talent but the absence of a visible route. A child could dream of becoming a racer without knowing what the first step looked like, where to train or how to progress. Arhaam Rahman, Bangladesh...

AAB Academy driver Arhaam Rahaman recently competed at the Mandalika Festival of Speed (National Indonesian Series) Round 3 at the Mandalika International Grand Prix Circuit in Lombok, Indonesia where Arhaam Became the first Bangladeshi Licensed driver to take part & also get a Podium in a Formula 4 Car at any competition.

Arhaam competed in the FIA Spec Ligier Formula 4 Car and finished 3rd Overall and Won in class (1st). The Automobile Association of Bangladesh (AAB) Motorsports Academy has been a major success in developing and creating pathway’s for aspiring young racing drivers like Arhaam in Bangladesh.
