THE DRIVER BEHIND THE HELMET
Every champion starts somewhere. This is my story.
My Journey
Hey there, I’m Jaiaditya Kaushal, a 17-year-old racing driver from Pune with a singular focus on building a professional career in motorsport. What started as a passion for speed has evolved into a dedicated pursuit of excellence on the track.
After two years of honing my racecraft and securing strong results at the local level, I recently took a significant step up to international competition. Being selected by the Shaw 2 Wind Racing Academy to compete in the Sodi World Series Dubai Kartdrome Endurance Championship was a pivotal moment in my career.
The 12-hour endurance format was a true test of consistency, strategy, and teamwork. Despite being part of a rookie lineup, we were competitive throughout, running as high as P3 and P4 in our category and ultimately finishing 7th. This experience in a high-pressure, international environment has been invaluable and has only fueled my determination to progress further.
“Racing isn’t just about being the fastest on a single lap. It’s about consistency, mental strength, and the relentless pursuit of improvement. Every race, every session, every lap is an opportunity to learn and grow. I’m not just chasing podiums—I’m building a foundation for a long and successful career in motorsport.”
