In a country like India, where cricket is a passion, taking an interest in any other sport as well as making a country’s identity in that sport is like breaking stereotypes, and when the person doing this is from Kashmir, that to a woman, then it seems unbelievable.
Humaira Mushtaq is India’s first female racer to participate in the British Endurance Championship. She is also participating in the GT race in the Gulf Country in November 2024. She explained how one can make a career in motor racing.
Motorsport Is One Of The Most Expensive Sports
Motorsport is one of the most expensive sports in the world, and for a middle-class family, the expenses associated with racing are almost impossible to bear. Humaira never let her passion for racing diminish despite balancing her education and getting admission to medical school to meet her family’s expectations.
So whenever you think of going into motor racing, complete your education. Humaira said the first big success came when I was selected for the British Endurance Championship race. Representing India on the global platform, she was racing for the prestigious Aston Martin team. It was like a dream come true.
