@pragathi.bgowda’s 2025 rally season marked a defining chapter in Indian motorsport. 

Competing across demanding national events, she delivered a landmark INRC2 class victory at the K1000 Rally, becoming the first woman driver to win a round of the Indian National Rally Championship. Alongside co-driver Chandramouli M, the result was reinforced by an impressive 11th overall finish, underlining both pace and consistency in challenging conditions.

Beyond the headline win, the season reflected measured growth in confidence, technical understanding, and mental resilience. Mechanical setbacks and difficult stages tested resolve, while steady progress highlighted a driver learning to convert speed into sustained performance. With strong backing from MRF Tyres and a clear focus on off-season preparation, Gowda’s 2025 campaign stands as both a breakthrough and a foundation for front-running ambitions in Indian rallying.
