At the FIA European Championship in Valencia, Spain, Indian racing sensation Atiqa Mir made an impressive debut, finishing sixth in Race 2. The 11-year-old, who is backed by the Formula 1 Academy, faced a challenging field of 92 world-class drivers in the OKJ category, where she had to adapt to more powerful equipment and a new set of Maxxis tyres. Starting from 15th on the grid, Atiqa fought her way into the Super Heats, demonstrating remarkable speed and tenacity. Her best performance came with a sixth-place finish in Race 2, and she also achieved the Fastest Lap in Race 5. Reflecting on her experience, Atiqa described the weekend as a dream come true, expressing her excitement about competing at such a high level. Her father, Asif Mir, praised her performance, highlighting the challenges she overcame during her debut. Atiqa is set to continue her racing journey, with plans to participate in the FIA World Cup later this year and the COTFA International round in Greece.
