With this achievement, Mumbai's rising kart racing star became the only Indian girl to compete in this World Series event. Thanks to her team EBC Brakes' brilliant run in the previous three rounds, she also finished on the podium twice. FMSCI Women in Motorsports Commission Chairperson Sita Raina also praised Aashi. She said that Aashi is a budding star and has already made her presence felt not only in India but also on the international stage.
The all-Indian team, featuring Arjun Manjunath (Bangalore), Rachit Singhal (Delhi), Jamie (Mumbai), Aditya Swaminathan (Bangalore) and Aashi, grabbed the second position in the overall championship as well as the first position in the Nations Cup.
