New Delhi [India], June 18 : Akhil Rabindra the only Indian driver in the European GT4 Championship is back on the grid with a power-packed round three, race weekend at the Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

The 24-year-old Bengaluru born Akhil Rabindra also has enjoyed the rare distinction of not only being the only Indian on the European GT4 Championship Grid but he has also bagged a spot for the third straight year with the Aston Martin Racing (AMR) Driver Academy, inching closer towards realising his dream of landing the coveted Academy Driver's contract at the Aston Martin Racing Academy.

The duo finished at P4 in race one and was aiming for a P5 finish but due to a technical problem, they finished at P21.
Akhil finished at P13 and P14 in the Silver Category in round one (Monza) and two (Circuit Paul Ricard) respectively after retiring in race one of both the races due to technical glitch.
