Vadodara’s Youngest Racer To Become First Indian Female Driver To Compete In Euro JK Series:- After signing up for the Euro JK series in the upcoming JK Tyre- FMSCI National Racing Championship, Mira Erda, Vadodara’s young racer will become the first Indian female driver to compete in one of the highest classes of Formula Racing in the country.

Till last year, Mira had been competing in LGB Formula 4. She started her journey as one of the youngest in national karting. The young champ proved herself to be equal to bigger and stronger boys there too, winning the Formula 4 Rookie Champion of the Year during the annual FMSCI awards.

She will be among the youngest Indian drivers to race at this level, by signing up at just 17 for JK Euro, which features the BMW FB02 car.

Mira reminiscing her old school days said, “I have been dreaming of becoming a Formula 1 racer ever since I started racing as a 9 year old.”

She added, “For this wonderful opportunity, I want to thank JK Tyres and FMSCI, as this is one huge jump forward towards realising my dream.”

Interestingly, Mira who is preparing for her Twelfth Class boards, will have a packed season as she plans to not only race in the National Championship but also in national rallies and international karting competitions.

Head of JK Motorsports, Sanjay Sharma who sponsor and conduct the National Racing Championship, “This is very good news for Indian motorsport.”

“It will encourage other girls to take up the sport as well. I must congratulate Mira for this huge jump. I am sure she will do well at this level too,” he added.

Already, Mira has participated in about 75 races both at the national and the international level.
