July 10, 2026

• ATIQA MIR, 11, dominates Greece’s Circuit 27 in Champions of the Future Academy, becoming first Indian and third-ever driver to sweep qualifying, heats and final—all in her debut season against older, mostly male competition.
• The Mumbai-born prodigy broke barriers at age 9, becoming first female to win at Le Mans karting circuit in Micro Max. Now world’s highest-rated female karter in OK-N Jr category despite competing below age requirement.
• Selected as first Indian and Asian for F1 Academy’s global Discover Your Drive program in 2025, joining only three girls chosen worldwide for the grassroots talent initiative supporting pathways to senior categories.
