• Ten-year-old ATIQA MIR just rewrote the history books by becoming the first Indian driver to crack the top-10 in the prestigious Rotax Euro Trophy, finishing ninth at Steel Ring Circuit despite facing bumper penalties and having zero wet weather experience on the track.
• The Akcel GP-backed driver showed exactly why she’s the first Indian to secure Formula 1 financial and technical support, qualifying seventh in her group and fighting back from a four-place drop at the start to claim that historic ninth-place finish in treacherous wet conditions.
• MIR ended the weekend as the highest-placed Indian and Asian driver in a field that’s produced current F1 stars like Max Verstappen, George Russell, Lando Norris, and championship leader Oscar Piastri – proving she belongs on the same stage where tomorrow’s champions cut their teeth.
