Following the footsteps of mentor Karun Chandhok, Indian driver Arjun Maini will make a shift from open-wheel racing to endurance sports car racing as he joins RLR MSport for the 87th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 15-16 and a full season in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS). Senna, however, will be unavailable for 24 Hours of Le Mans due to other commitments and will relinquish his seat with his replacement to be announced later this month. “I’m extremely excited to make my endurance racing debut this year. The highlight of the year will surely be the race at Le Mans and I’m hoping I can do my country proud as it is one of the most prestigious events in motor racing,” said Maini. Wins in Britain earned Maini a seat in GP3 Series before moving on to Formula 2 in 2018.
