I started living my life fullest with believing in
myself and cherishing every moment of my life
without taking it for granted. And maybe that
trigger point brought me into the track racing
and brought positive aggression from inside to
achieve things that I have gained at this young
age. It made me a person and helped me to
reach a position by which other people get
inspiration through it.
Track racing came into my life in 2015, which
was the year when for the first time, I raced in
the J.K.Tyre Superbike National Championship.
I race in the 1000 cc category every year on my
Ducati 890 Panigale.
I am the only female track racer amongst 40 to
45 men racer every year, which itself is one of
the trigger points.
BC: Why from motocross to track racing?
NY: Biking for me started with motocross. I was
a part of a circle and a group of men who used
to do motocross and being a part of that I used
to ride with them, which kind of gave me a high.
I started with Honda CRF 150, which was
somewhere near to a motocross bike. I did it as
leisure; I used to enjoy driving off to Aravali and
riding on the track with people. Post the
motocross, we all used to chill and have fun that
gave me the motivation for the biking.
Honestly, the track racing is something that
happened spontaneously, which I didn't plan. I
used to go for motocross once in a while and
never took it professionally. Whereas, the track
racing is something that every month I m on the
Buddh International Circuit to practice, and
every year I participate in the race of J.K.Tyre
Superbike National Championship.
BC: Which was your first motocross and a track
race?
NY: My first track race was in 2015, J.K.Tyre
Superbike National Championship held at the
Buddh International Circuit. I raced in the 1000
cc category, and I was the only female racer out
of 40 Men.
I have never raced motocross professionally or
even raced. I as have mentioned earlier that I
have done motocross as leisure and not as a
very serious sport.
BC: Apart from racing, do you like to ride as a tourer?
NY: Well, I do really like riding as a tourer, and I do
Sunday rides once in a while with GODS (Group of
Delhi Superbikes), but rarely I go ride with them. I have
also been riding with the Ducati Group of Riders and
doing a lot of Ducati experience by covering Rajasthan
and other states. But honestly, when it comes to
touring, I am not as passionate as the track racing.
I believe everybody in biking or every biker has a
particular form of biking that they like; some people
like touring, some like racing, some like off-roading,
and some like motocross. So it's all about finding
what you like as a biker. But for me, racing has been
one aspect of biking that has made me feel like I am
the one who's conquering milestones. I think that's
what racing does for me as oppose to touring.
Whereas, touring is something I would probably do
with my fellow bikers, riding off to some hill or some
Sunday morning ride. But genuinely, touring is
something that I would not like to venture it out on a
regular basis. Which I believe is not my form of biking
that I would like to be crazy about.
