Continuing on in 2022, the American would plant himself into the Italian F4 Championship on a full-time basis, driving for US Racing alongside Alex Dunne, Kacper Sztuka, Marcus Amand and Pedro Perino.[3][4] His season began slowly, as the opening two rounds yielded no points. However, the third event at Spa-Francorchamps would prove to be successful, with Bohra taking his first points finishes, which included a sixth place in Race 2. More points followed at Vallelunga, before Bohra scored his season-best result of fourth at the Red Bull Ring, a race in which he would also score his maiden rookie podium. He finished off his season with a pair of seventh places in Mugello, which elevated him to 13th in the main standings.[5]
That year Bohra also competed in the first two rounds of the ADAC F4 Championship, where he scored ten points.[6][7]
Bohra also won the Indian Racing League team's championship, alongside Fabienne Wohlwend, Ruhaan Alva, and Alister Yoong, securing 2 pole positions and 2 wins for Godspeed Kochi.
