Further, Yash has also signed up with JA Motorsports for participation in the MRF Formula 4: 1600 for his season 7 in the year 2018, under the guidance of his mentor Akbar Ebrahim and his team MSport.
Yash recently tested the Formula 4: 1600 at Coimbatore under the tutelage of Armaan Ebrahim and Aditya Patel as a pre-preparation for the coming season. This was the first time Yash was driving this racing machine and was quick to adapt to them.

Yash is under our care and guidance for the last 4 years and his work out regime included strength, endurance, lightning reflex, core strength and stability. It has been a delight to work with such passionate and dedicated athlete who at such a young age has this level of maturity and focus about his goal, which is rare. I am sure Yash will go place in the days to come.”
