🇮🇳 Arjun Maini

Arjun Maini is an Indian racing driver whose career began after winning Force India's "One in a Billion" driver hunt in 2011, a program designed to identify and develop Indian single-seater talent. That early exposure helped launch his path through the junior single-seater ranks and eventually into Formula 2, where he competed for Campos Racing. Across his time in the series he amassed 30 starts, two wins and two podium finishes, though he did not add a championship title to his résumé. His motorsport activity has extended beyond single-seaters as well, with experience in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and GT World Challenge Europe, including a stint with Haupt Racing Team, and a factory role with Ford, reflecting a career that broadened from open-wheel roots into touring car and GT competition.[1]

Maini's Formula 2 tenure is now recorded as retired, with his final campaign, the 2026 season, yielding no wins or podiums across six rounds and a P22 finish in the standings, a quiet close to his F2 chapter. His Racer Rating stands at 4,586, placing him 680th among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, a figure that situates him well below the sport's elite tier of 10,000 to 11,500 but still reflective of a driver who competed at a recognized international level for a sustained period. Taken as a whole, his record shows a driver of modest but genuine achievement in F2, whose broader significance lies as much in his pioneering role for Indian motorsport as in his on-track statistics.[2]
