According to Mira, Motorsports in India, is at its best right now. “Be it in races or cars, some sort of innovation is being brought every year, just like how this year we got the BMW cars with hand shifters. Such developments are great so that now the racers here don’t have to go abroad for better practice,” says Mira who trains over 20 students in Erda’s Racing Academy.Having won over 60 awards including the FMSCI award for outstanding woman in motorsports earlier in February, she says she has always pushed herself harder for the best results to prove to people who find it hard to believe that women too can excel in motorsports.Talking about the pressures of failure, she says she is only pressurised when she is off track. “When I’m on the track, I forget everything and enjoy the race and I think that matters the most,” she adds. On her role model, British racer, Lewis Hamilton, she says his driving techniques and attitude towards winning have inspired her since the beginning of her career. “I would take it as a privilege if I can inspire someone to follow their passion no matter what others say,” says Mira, adding that that her future plan, other than racing includes getting a degree in sports management.
