Career

Karting

Bohra had a respectable karting career, most notably clinching the title during the 2021 German Junior Kart Championship in the OKJ category. [1]

Formula 4

2022

Bohra raced in the 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 30th in the standings, lowest of all drivers. [2] That year, Bohra made his Formula 4 debut in the Italian F4 Championship with US Racing during the final round in Mugello. [3]

2023

Bohra joined PHM Racing to race in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship. [4] Scoring three points finishes that season, with the highest being a seventh place, he was ranked 21st in the standings with 11 points.

His main campaign lied in the Italian F4 Championship with US Racing. [5] Scoring consistently through the first half of the season, his first podium came during the final race in Monza. [6] Scoring another third-placed podium in Mugello, Bohra eventually placed eighth in the standings with 113 points. [7] In the Euro 4 Championship, Bohra scored a double podium in Mugello, but had his big break by winning his first F4 race in Barcelona after original winner James Wharton was penalised. [8] This allowed him to finish third in the overall standings.

Bohra also took part in the F4 Indian Championship that year, placing third in the standings. [9] He also made a cameo appearance in the F4 Spanish Championship with MP Motorsport, driving for them during the season finale in Barcelona. [10]

2024

During pre-season, Bohra took part in the Formula Winter Series, finishing 11th in the overall standings. [11]

His main campaign again lied in the Italian F4 Championship where he continued to drive for US Racing. [12] He had a stronger start to the season, scoring three podiums in the opening two rounds, before a first pole came for the first race in Mugello. [13] His first and only win came in the first race in Paul Ricard, leading a lights-to-flag victory. [14] Scoring two more third-place podiums after that, Bohra finished fourth in the standings, having amassed one win and eight total podiums.

In the Euro 4 Championship, Bohra began the campaign with a double victory in Mugello. [15] A difficult qualifying came at the Red Bull Ring where he was forced to make comebacks, rewarded with two fourth place finishes. [16] Despite two runner-up finishes during the last round in Monza, standings leader Freddie Slater experienced a troubling weekend, allowing Bohra to overhaul him and clinch the Euro 4 title. [17]

Personal life

Bohra's older brother, Nikhil is also a racing driver who last competed in the Formula Regional European Championship with MP Motorsport. [18]
