Career

LGPS

The young Karimov, along with March and a bunch of other friends decided to enter the Life Grand Prix Series under the banner of Team Of The Workers Party. The season got off to a brilliant start with Karimov winning on his and the teams debut causing wild celebrations at the track and back in the Soviet Union. However, the teams new car was a bit unreliable and it wasn't until the race in Italy, Karimov would record his next finish, albeit outside of the points in 11th. His next podium would come soon enough though as just 2 rounds after Italy, the young Uzbek recorded his next podium finish at Spa Francochamps. Things soon took a turn for the worse and this culminated in a 4 race ban after the race in Great Britain for causing a serious collision with Kim Jong-Sung. Still, the following season was a disaster as Rob Lomas Racing had barely any money for upgrades and as a result, the car was unreliable... when it qualified, which was frequently. He was allowed to move to the Ursus Racing team for the second half of the season after Fidrik Arnason was seriously injured in a collision with Kim Jong-Sung at the German round and was forced to miss the rest of the season. However, results did not improve at his new team and he ended up scoring no points come the end of the season.
