Diana Pundole from Pune has made history by becoming the first Indian woman to win a championship title in the saloon category of the MRF Indian National Car Racing Championship 2024, held in Chennai. Competing against both men and women, the 28-year-old mother of two achieved this significant milestone after years of dedication and overcoming skepticism. Pundole's victory is a groundbreaking moment for women in motorsports in India, serving as an inspiration for aspiring female racers. In addition to Pundole's triumph, notable wins were also recorded by teenagers Jaden Rahman Pariat and Abhay Mohan in the single-seater categories, along with other champions in various racing classes. Pundole expressed her joy and commitment to her craft, having focused intensely during the races, even missing birthday messages from friends and family. Her win not only showcases her skill but also challenges gender stereotypes in a predominantly male sport.
