Career
Karting
Bohra had a respectable karting career, most notably clinching the title during the 2021 German Junior Kart Championship in the OKJ category.
Formula 4
2022
Bohra raced in the 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 30th in the standings, lowest of all drivers. That year, Bohra made his Formula 4 debut in the Italian F4 Championship with US Racing during the final round in Mugello.

Bohra joined PHM Racing to race in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship. Scoring three points finishes that season, with the highest being a seventh place, he was ranked 21st in the standings with 11 points.
His main campaign lied in the Italian F4 Championship with US Racing. Scoring consistently through the first half of the season, his first podium came during the final race in Monza. Scoring another third-placed podium in Mugello, Bohra eventually placed eighth in the standings with 113 points. In the Euro 4 Championship, Bohra scored a double podium in Mugello, but had his big break by winning his first F4 race in Barcelona after original winner James Wharton was penalised. This allowed him to finish third in the overall standings.
Bohra also took part in the F4 Indian Championship that year, placing third in the standings. He also made a cameo appearance in the F4 Spanish Championship with MP Motorsport, driving for them during the season finale in Barcelona.
2024
During pre-season, Bohra took part in the Formula Winter Series, finishing 11th in the overall standings.
His main campaign again lied in the Italian F4 Championship where he continued to drive for US Racing. He had a stronger start to the season, scoring three podiums in the opening two rounds, before a first pole came for the first race in Mugello. His first and only win came in the first race in Paul Ricard, leading a lights-to-flag victory. Scoring two more third-place podiums after that, Bohra finished fourth in the standings, having amassed one win and eight total podiums.
In the Euro 4 Championship, Bohra began the campaign with a double victory in Mugello. A difficult qualifying came at the Red Bull Ring where he was forced to make comebacks, rewarded with two fourth place finishes. Despite two runner-up finishes during the last round in Monza, standings leader Freddie Slater experienced a troubling weekend, allowing Bohra to overhaul him and clinch the Euro 4 title.
Formula Regional
Bohra is set to compete in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship with R-ace GP. For his main campaign, Bohra remained with R-ace GP to compete in the Formula Regional European Championship.
Personal life
Bohra's older brother, Nikhil is also a racing driver who last competed in the Formula Regional European Championship with MP Motorsport.
