Enaam Ahmed (Urdu:انعام احمد; born 4 February 2000) is a Pakistani and British formerracing driver.[3][4] He last competed in the2023 Indy NXT driving forCape Motorsports.[5] Ahmed previously competed in the2022 Indy Pro 2000 Championship driving forJuncos Hollinger Racing and previously drove forRP Motorsport in the 2021 season.[6]
In 2014 won theKarting World Championship[7]
In 2015, Ahmed made his debut in MSA Formula for Arden where he finished eighth overall, winning one race and the Rookie Cup in his first year racing cars. He also made occasional appearances in theSMP F4 Championship where he enjoyed even more success, picking up five wins and two poles.
For 2016, it was announced that Ahmed would be driving for Douglas Motorsport[8] in the British Formula Three Championship. He finished fifth overall.
In 2017, Ahmed took part in theToyota Racing Series with Giles Motorsport alongsideRed Bull JuniorsLuis Leeds andRichard Verschoor.[9]
In January 2017, it was announced Ahmed would switch toCarlin for a second season of British F3.[10]Ahmed madeBRDC British Formula 3 Championship history by taking all three wins in the opening round of the season atOulton Park. He also recorded three fastest laps across the three races to leave the weekend as championship leader with a perfect score of 95 points.
Ahmed went on to make it four wins from four races by taking victory in the opening race atRockingham Speedway, before a further two wins at the next round atSnetterton Circuit saw Ahmed surpass the total number of wins achieved by a driver throughout the entirety of the 2016 campaign (five). Although Ahmed finished off the top step of the podium for the first time during a weekend in 2017 atSilverstone, two podium finishes allowed Ahmed to extend his lead in the championship standings.
Ahmed claimed his first pole of the 2017 season in a qualifying session atCircuit de Spa-Francorchamps, before going on to record his seventh and eighth wins of the season. A further second place finish stretched theCarlin driver's lead at the top of the drivers' standings to 82 points over nearest rivalToby Sowery.
At the next round atBrands Hatch, Ahmed went on to take his second successive pole position, before sealing a lights-to-flag victory in the opening race. He recovered from eighth to finish on the podium in third place in the reverse grid race and recorded another lights-to-flag win – his tenth of the season – in the final race of the weekend.
Ahmed sealed the2017 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship title at the penultimate round of the season atSnetterton, having claimed a further two victories to take his tally up to twelve – matching triple F1 world championAyrton Senna's total of wins from his own title-winning campaign in 1983. As a result, theCarlin driver became the series' youngest-ever champion at just seventeen years old.
At the season finale atDonington Park, Ahmed won the 24th and final race of the season – his thirteenth victory of the campaign – to surpass the total number of winsAyrton Senna achieved in 1983 (twelve). He ended the year on 654 points, 164 clear of his nearest rival.

In December 2017, it was confirmed Ahmed would contest the2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Silverstone-basedHitech GP, where he claimed two wins to finish ninth in the championship.
The following year, Ahmed moved to Japan to contest theJapanese Formula 3 championship withThreeBond Racing but switched toB-MAX Racing with Motopark prior to the start of the season.[11][12] There he claimed two wins atFuji andSugo to finish third in the championship behind teammateSacha Fenestraz andTOM'S driver Ritomo Miyata.
Later that year, Ahmed partook in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test withPrema Powerteam.[13] He ended up signing forCarlin Buzz Racing to partnerClément Novalak andCameron Das in the2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship. On 30 July, after six races, Carlin announced that Ahmed and his sponsors had departed from the team, being replaced byBen Barnicoat.
On 2 April 2021, Ahmed announced that he would move to the United States to compete in theIndy Pro 2000 championship withRP Motorsport.[14] It was initially announced as a part-time deal as it was unsure whether or not Ahmed would contest the full season due to sponsorship issues. Due to a lack of budget, Ahmed was no longer able to compete in the following races of the championship.[15] However, it was announced on 29 September that Ahmed would compete in the final two races of the 2021 season withJuncos Hollinger Racing, replacingManuel Sulaimán.[6]
On 11 February 2022, Ahmed signed to compete in the full2022 Indy Pro 2000 Championship season withJuncos Hollinger Racing.[16]
Ahmed moved up to theIndy NXT for 2023, teaming up with Cape Motorsports. He is partnered withJagger Jones.[5]
