Grand Prix

2005–06

After the launching of A1 Team Pakistan, Nur Ali was the first driver to be named in the inaugural 2005–06 A1 Grand Prix season, but was replaced before the first round with Adam Khan.[4]

In the first race at Brands Hatch, Khan qualified in 7th place and finished the sprint race in 8th. The team had problems in the pit stop in the feature race and resulted in Khan finishing 13th. Following this, the team failed to score a point until the final race in China where Khan finished fifth. The team missed three rounds after Khan was injured in a practice crash in South Africa, although Enrico Toccacelo was drafted in as a non-scoring substitute driver for said weekend.[5] Pakistan finished 20th in the standings with a total of 10 points.[6]

In the second edition, Khan left the team, and Nur Ali was recalled to race in season two. Khan took a break from racing, instead concentrating on his business studies at King’s College London.[7][8][9]

2007–08

Khan returned to the squad for season three.[6][10] Khan's only point of the season came when he finished 10th in the sprint race in New Zealand.

2008–09

In August 2008, Khan prepared for the new A1GP season.[11] On 10 September 2008, Khan was announced as both the driver and team seat holder for the 2008–09 season. Team Craft took over the running of the team. The team failed to appear at any events that season, initially due to problems with Khan fitting in the new chassis and later due to date-clashes with Khan's duties as demonstration driver for the Renault F1 Team.[12][13]

Euroseries 3000

Having competed in the Euro3000 series in 2008 finishing third, and despite missing the first four races he narrowly missed out on the championship. His performances were spotted by the bosses at Renault F1 and he became their F1 test and demonstration driver in 2009 alongside Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet Jr.[8][14][15]

Personal life
