We, the Indian women, have been involved in motorsports since the early days of racing.
However, we have yet to achieve the same level of success and recognition as male drivers in the field.
There are several reasons for this, including a lack of access, lack of funds, gender discrimination and social norms that discourage women from pursuing careers in motorsports.
Fortunately, there is hope for Indian women in motorsports.
As the driving force behind many successful racing teams in India, the women of India are proving that they can be just as capable as their male counterparts when it comes to competing at the highest levels in the field of motorsports.
There are some ways that you can support these talented women and help them continue to compete on the world stage.
Here are some tips:
STEP 1: GET INVOLVED
First and the foremost thing to support an athlete is to know what & which field they are in. Knowing the field better before knowing the athlete is required to gain momentum while watching your favourite athlete breaking records in that particular sport. It is not as difficult to get curious about various sports that you can cheer up.
Similar to that, in the field of motorsports, you have known various Male drivers like Lewis Hamilton & Max Verstappen. They are among the best in the field of Motorsports in the F1 category. The reason why they are considered the face of F1 is that they got:
- People to cheer them up for every race
- Large fanbase all over the globe
- Big Multinational Sponsors
- And, an immense online cult following.
It’s like we are Indian Fans of Cricket Legends.
And hence, I want you to be a FAN, a Supporter and a Follower of various Indian Women Racers (Including Me).
Various women racers are breaking the stereotypes, and now it’s your time to let us emerge in the limelight.
STEP 2: ATTEND RACES
Once you know about what Motorsports field is, it’s time to see the drill with bare eyes.
Athletes love people who support them in their presence, like cheering up for their name, showing emotions at wins & losses and most of all being there at all aspects to support them.
Motorsports in India are growing sports that need support.
Various Corporate biggies like Honda, Maruti, JK Tyre, MRF, HDFC, Indian Oil, and Times Group. Redbull, Mahindras, Tatas & others are organizing motorsport events nowadays. I’m sure many more business groups will follow the trend!
It would be a different experience to know the people in this field and also to admire how fun and energetic this wheeler’s sport is. Or you can visit the local karting centre or racing arena to know about upcoming racers who are enduring their hard work to reach the top. This can lead you to know more about racers and get exposure to how things work.
STEP 3: FOLLOW & ENGAGE WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA
- Social Media is a place of connection, communication and cooperation.
- In no time, people can get recognition for their talent and get renowned.
- From trending content to the latest news all can be accessed in one go.
- Social Media Platform is a valuable way to boost presence among people.
I urge you to follow the women in motorsports of India, And not just follow – do engage with their posted content so as to make them know that there are people who are watching them, admiring them and cheering for them!

STEP 4: PROMOTE US WITHIN YOUR NETWORK & CONNECTIONS
No matter how many followers a person has or how many likes she gets on various socials but it’s not worth it if there’s no gossip surrounding around in communities.
Word of mouth still has an impact to date whether is it in terms of promoting something or talking about a being.
I request you do only one thing if the above steps might not be possible for your – and that is TALK ABOUT US!
Yes, you heard it right, all you need to do is have a chit chat (even a little bit) about us – or we can say what’s going on with women in motorsports.
The more you talk about us – the more it’ll help our achievements and hard work reach as a medium of inspiration to others and maybe it drives the momentum to the one who might be the future of women in motorsports of India tomorrow.
STEP 5: SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! CHEER FOR US, CHEER FOR WOMEN IN MOTORSPORTS OF INDIA!
Support is what takes us to the next level, not in terms of skills, not in terms of gaining more achievements, But in terms of having you by our side.
Women in motorsports are rising high and it can boost exponentially only if you all support us, empower us, talk about us, and keep us on trend with every factor possible.
