Biography
In 1992, Khan won the BRDC British Saloon Car Championship. The year after, he continued to the British Touring Car Championship in a Vauxhall Cavalier, his most notable performance coming in the season-ending TOCA Shootout at Donington Park where he led for several laps thanks to the reverse-grid format. In 1994, he competed again, firstly in a Toyota Carina and then his old Vauxhall for Maxted Motorsport. From 1996, Khan raced in the Ferrari F355 championship and various endurance races. With races in the Renault Clio V6 Trophy between 1999 and 2001, from 2002 he has competed in the FIA GT Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hour.[1] Khan died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on 6 July 2025, at the age of 65.[2]
