FABIENNE WOHLWEND Makes History as Second Female Winner in Indian Racing

February 16, 2026

• FABIENNE WOHLWEND proved she thrives under pressure, erasing a safety car restart to become just the second female winner in Indian Racing Festival history. After her teammate Raoul Hyman built a commanding 20-second lead in the relay format, the Liechtenstein driver faced the ultimate test when a safety car bunched the field. She delivered with a strong restart, defended against Ruhaan Alva’s advances, and controlled the race to the checkered flag. Her composure under pressure helped Goa Aces JA Racing claim their 10th series victory.
• CAITLIN WOOD rounded out the podium with a solid third-place finish for Speed Demons Delhi, keeping her team within striking distance of the championship lead. Paired with Alister Yoong in the relay format, Wood helped maintain their team’s position as serious title contenders, sitting just one point behind leaders Goa Aces JA Racing at 144 points. Her consistent performance on the challenging Goa street circuit demonstrated the depth of talent across the women’s field in this increasingly competitive series.
• The relay format showcased how teamwork and mental strength separate winners from also-rans on demanding street circuits. While Hyman’s opening stint was flawless, it was WOHLWEND’s ability to handle the pressure cooker of a safety car restart that sealed the victory. Her performance sends a clear message that female drivers aren’t just participating in Indian motorsport – we’re winning races and making history while doing it.
