Arvid Lindblad, who is set to join Racing Bulls for his Formula 1 rookie season in 2026, will be driving an F1 car around the streets of Delhi.
The showrun is part of the Red Bull Moto Jam 2026 and will also feature motorsport disciplines, including drifting, stunt biking, freestyle motocross and stunt cars.
"Yeah, obviously very excited," Lindblad said of the upcoming event to Autocar India. "The news is out about Red Bull Moto Jam. I think it's going to be a really cool event. It's going to be amazing driving an F1 car on the streets of Delhi.
"Even more special, it's going to be my first showrun as a Formula 1 driver and doing that here in India with my heritage and background is obviously something I'm very excited about.
"I think it's going to be an amazing event. It's going to be just before the F1 season starts. So really looking forward to coming back to India and having some fun."
Lindblad holds both British and Swedish nationalities and has Indian roots through his maternal side of the family. "I'm very proud of my roots," he added.

"I come from a multicultural background. I've lived in the UK my whole life, but I've spent a lot of time in Sweden. I'm now spending more time here in India. From the beginning, I've been surrounded by Indian culture.
"My grandparents are both Punjabis, so they're very traditional. They've carried their way of life to the UK. So it's been interesting for me coming to India and seeing how similar it is to what I'm used to."
He added: "So, it's something I'm very proud of. And for sure I'll be continuing to represent that on my helmet next year."
Lindblad will join Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls as Isack Hadjar moves to Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen.
