Pedal to the metal for Women – Red Bull Catch Up
~
The inaugural edition of the amateur Go Kart tournament for women to kick off
across India at SMAAASH.
~
A chance for leisure women drivers to get a firsthand account of what happens
in professional karting while nurturing their talent and having fun.
Mumbai February 2018: Red Bull Catch Up, a one of its kind amateur
Go Kart tournament for women, will kick off its qualifiers tomorrow in Mumbai
& Gurgaon at SMAAASH, a popular sports and entertainment centre!
Unfortunately,
like many sports, go karting can appear to be male dominated at the highest
level. However, there are many inspiring female drivers out there and the only
way to tackle the male stereotyping is for more women to get karting! Red Bull
Catch Up aims to provide female amateur racers & racing enthusiasts with
the chance to "touch" the pro side of karting and get a competitive
but fun experience down at the track. It’s a karting tournament designed to
find the fastest female amateur kart racer in India. At stake is the
possibility of being crowned the first Red Bull Catch Up National Champion by
India’s female racing sensation Mira Erda
Mira Erda is
India’s first Female driver to compete in one of the highest classes of Formula
Racing in the country after signing up for the Euro JK series in the JK
Tyre-FMSCI National Racing Championship.
On Red Bull
Catch Up being a great initiative for women drivers, Mira Erda said, "Ever
since I started racing as a 9-year-old I have been dreaming of becoming a Formula
1 racer and would like to see many Indian Women competing at the highest level
in racing. Thanks to Red Bull, this initiative is the perfect platform for
aspiring female racers in the country to test and showcase their racing skills
in a safe and confined environment. I wish all the drivers the best and hope to
see a lot of girls pushing pedal to the metal at this tournament.”
