Nikhil Bohra (born 25 January 2005) is an Indian and American racing driver who most recently competed in the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship for MP Motorsport.[1]

Career

Formula 4

2021

Bohra made his single-seater debut at the end of 2021, where he competed in the ADAC F4 season finale at the Nürburgring with R-ace GP.[2]

2022

Continuing on in 2022, Bohra would plant himself into the Italian F4 Championship on a full-time basis, driving for US Racing alongside Alex Dunne, Kacper Sztuka, Marcus Amand and Pedro Perino.[3][4] His season began slowly, as the opening two rounds yielded no points. However, the third event at Spa-Francorchamps would prove to be successful, with Bohra taking his first points finishes, which included a sixth place in Race 2. More points followed at Vallelunga, before Bohra scored his season-best result of fourth at the Red Bull Ring, a race in which he would also score his maiden rookie podium. He finished off his season with a pair of seventh places in Mugello, which elevated him to 13th in the main standings.[5]

That year, Bohra also competed in the first two rounds of the ADAC F4 Championship, where he scored ten points.[6][7]

Bohra also won the Indian Racing League team's championship, alongside Fabienne Wohlwend, Ruhaan Alva, and Alister Yoong, securing 2 pole positions and 2 wins for Godspeed Kochi.

Formula Regional

2023

Bohra made his debut in the 2023 Formula Regional Middle East Championship (FRMEC) with R-ace GP, winning Race 2 in Dubai, and finishing on the podium in Kuwait. He finished ninth in the overall championship, and 4th in the rookie standings.

Bohra then made the jump up to the 2023 Formula Regional European Championship with Trident.[8] He finished on the podium in the first round in Imola.

2024

Bohra returned to the 2024 Formula Regional Middle East Championship with MP Motorsport.

That year, Bohra contested the Formula Regional European Championship with MP Motorsport.[9]

Touring cars

2025

After an unsuccessful career in formula racing, Bohra pivoted to touring cars, competing in the 2025 season of the revived Malaysian Touring Car Championship.[10][11]

Personal life

Although born in New York City, Bohra spent his early years in Bihar, India before relocating to Singapore.[12] He represented Singapore in motorsport until 2023.[13] Bohra is currently pursuing a communications degree at Columbia University.[14] Bohra's racing career was primarily funded by his father, Indian-American Billionaire V. Bunty Bohra.
