-

Indian Racing Driver Armaan Ebrahim, along with his teammate Dilantha Malagamuwa, won the Pro Am Class of the 2016 Lamborghin­i Super Trofeo Championsh­ip held in Valencia, Spain.

They also managed to clinch the third position in the Pro category owing to their consistent performanc­e throughout the season.

The title was decided at the races in Valencia on Sunday (4). Armaan began Race 1 on Pole, his second of the season.

He went on to win the race, garnering valuable points for the team. In the Amateur Class, Dilantha tried hard to hold on to the lead. However, he slipped to third by the end of the race. This gave the duo an overall third position.

Race 2 in the Amateur Class was full of drama. Dilantha began the race from P5 and was on course for a strong finish.

However, his car was rear-ended as he was about to enter the pits. The car suffered major suspension damage putting the pressure on the mechanics and Armaan was about to go out with it in the Pro Class race.

The Indian, however, put up a brilliant drive, using all his skills to pilot the car to a podium position. The duo were, hence, placed fourth at the end of the races. The total points haul was enough to win the Pro Am Class and secure third in Rte Pro Class.
