Defying the odds in the high-speed world of professional sports car racing 💪🚀

Get to know aurorastraus, an incredible American talent who spent her college years trading paint on the racetrack while completing a demanding double degree in Mechanical Engineering and English Literature at Harvard! 🏁

Taking her place on the grid at the indianapolismotorspeedway in the No. 24 Murillo Racing Mercedes-AMG GT4, Aurora is tackling the gruelling, multi-class IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge this weekend 🏎‍🟀

Racing in an industry where fewer than 4% of professional drivers are female, she cemented her position at the top through relentless dedication and skill. She is actively changing the sport by founding the nonprofit Girls With Drive to mentor young women in STEM and motorsports 🤩
