We've discussed Steven Aghakhani on multiple occasions, with the 13-year-old proving story-worthy thanks to his impressive racing activity. However, as we mentioned in on of the articles covering his high-octane adventures, we were curious to see what the teen could do outside the world of straight-line motorsport.
Well, our thirst for knowledge has now been quenched, as the piece of footage at the bottom of the page allows us to see the youngster's time attack skills.

Steven recently tackled Willow Springs Raceway in a Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo racecar - the 13-year-old entered a race, managed to grab first place in the Pro/Comp category, while grabbing second place in the overall stats.

The kid also managed to set a new personal record, setting a lap time of 1:24.5.

His father, Armik Aghakhani, explains that his son is aiming for nothing less than Formula One, with the training for the Grand Circus set to kick off this fall.

Of course, such activities require serious funding and many wonder how Armik managed to handle this side of the motorsport adventure - the man runs a tax and business consulting group based in Beverly Hills.

For now, Steven is making his way through the horsepower ranks. And we don't know how the 550 ponies of his Sant'Agata Bolognese racer sound to others, but we're overly pleased to see the teenager manhandling the Raging Bull like a pro.

In case you're wondering about the competition Steven faced on the circuit, you should know he dealt with a full lot, consisting of both, with contraptions ranging from old Bimmers to a 900 hp Nissan GT-R.

Check out the piece of footage below to see Steven going at it, with the video also showing the complete Aghakhani family. And we have to admit we're always glad to see go-fast machines being mixed with quality family time.
