Narain Karthikeyan is an Indian racing driver best known for becoming the first Indian to compete in Formula One, driving in the sport between 2005 and 2012. Before reaching the highest levels of international motorsport, he built his early career on a path that eventually led him to European and Asian single-seater competition, and he later extended his career into Japanese Super Formula, where he competed for TCS Nakajima Racing in the SF14 chassis fitted with a Honda HR-417E engine.[1]

According to Racer DB, Karthikeyan's Super Formula tenure closed out with a status of retired, having made five career starts without registering a win, podium, or championship. His most recent campaign reflected the same pattern, with zero wins and zero podiums across five rounds, placing him seventeenth in the standings. His current Racer Rating stands at 4,739, ranking him 305th among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, a figure that situates him well below the 10,000 to 11,500 range occupied by the world's top competitors, consistent with a career winding down at the Super Formula level after his earlier prominence in Formula One.[2]
