FFF Racing will also have a second Huracan in the championship that will be piloted by teammates Carrie Schreiner and Richard 'Spike' Goaddard.

Before making it big in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Championship, Armaan started his racing career winning the Formula LGB championship as a 16-year-old, and went on to race in Formula BMW Asia, Formula V6, GP2 Asia and A1GP.
