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 two pole positions and two 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 Bengaluru, India before relocating to Singapore.[12] He represented Singapore in motorsport until 2023.[13] Bohra is currently pursuing a mathematics and economics degree at Columbia University.[14]
