Maini wants to be "race-ready" for Mahindra Formula E call-up
Earlier this month, Arjun Maini was announced as the reserve driver for Mahindra Racing’s 2024 season, replacing Jehan Daruvala. As the reserve driver, Maini can be called in if the team’s race drivers, Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara, are unable to participate in a race. Maini has had limited time in the car, with only one session in the simulator, but the team has plans for him to have actual track running before the season starts. Maini is also excited about participating in some races as a reserve driver, with the first one being in Hyderabad. Maini could potentially make his race debut if de Vries is unable to compete in the Berlin E-Prix in May. Maini believes there is a high chance he will be asked to substitute for de Vries if he is ready for a race drive and if there are no clashes with his other commitments in Formula 2.
