Teacher-turned-racer Diana Pundole, Mother Of Two, Eyes International Glory
FMSCI Indian Car Racing Championship: She confessed that winning the FMSCI Indian Car Racing Championship 2024 in the Saloon category has been a roller-coaster of emotions. Diana Pundole may be thrilled to be the first-ever woman to win a mixed-category championship in a Saloon car on a National Level. However, a mother of two and a teacher from Pune, was not aware of this until she stepped out of her vehicle after the last race and was approached by excited media people.
“And that is when it struck me that I had made history. I had been so focused on the season’s races that all my energies and concentration were devoted to the top spot of the podium. I did not think about the championship at all, I just wanted to win as many races as I could. This of course, was a long and gruelling path of hard work, maintaining peak physical fitness, mental fortitude, and a whole lot of sacrifices made where my family, friends, and social life took a back seat,” Diana told IANS.
For someone,who has always been fascinated with being behind the wheel ever since her parents drove in the quiet lanes in Pune, where she grew up, Diana loved going-karting as a child, but never thought of it as anything more than a hobby.
