JK Tyre has announced its sponsorship of 11-year-old karting prodigy Atiqa Mir, a rising talent in the international racing circuit. Mir is recognized as the highest-ranked female in the FIA International Karting Ranking (IKR) OKNJ category.
Mir has achieved several international milestones, including becoming the first Indian to secure a podium in the European leg of the Champions of the Future Academy. She also recorded a dominant victory in Greece, becoming only the third driver in the series' history to sweep qualifying, heats, and the final. Additionally, she is the youngest Indian to record two top-10 finishes in the FIA European Karting Championship.
As the first Indian and Asian female racer selected for the Formula 1 Academy’s Discover Your Drive programme, Mir’s career highlights the increasing presence of women in motorsport.
