The first woman from Jammu and Kashmir to be a national champion and the first South Asian woman at the BEC, Humaira hopes to set an example and pave the way for more girls to take the wheel.
When a four-year-old Humaira Mushtaq first took to the karting circuit her father had constructed behind their house in Dubai, she would have never imagined that her journey through the motorsport world would result in her becoming a name to remember, both on the Indian and international circuits.
The 25-year-old from Jammu and Kashmir navigated her way from single-seater cars to Grand Tourers (GT) – designed for high-speed and long-distance driving – and became the first Indian to compete in the British Endurance Racing (BEC).
