10月15-17日在西班牙Guadix赛道进行了红牛Rookies Cup 2020赛季的车手选拔。在三天的选拔后,11名新同学加入了明年Rookies Cup的角逐。在参加选拔的109名车手中,有三名女孩——巴西的Raquel Ananda Nogueira Vaz、哥伦比亚的Valentina Martinez Trujillo、以及印度的Aditi Krishnan。很可惜三名女孩都没能入选最终的名单,但是在十进一的选拔中只有不到3%的候选人是女孩,无人入选也是一点都不奇怪。我们有幸在选拔后的周五采访到了Aditi,她在选拔后正和家人在西班牙塞维利亚度假。来看看这个印度姑娘如何进入赛车界,又如何进入了选拔大名单吧。
‘My best is not good enough’ – Interview with Rookies Cup selection candidate Aditi Krishnan
The Red Bull Rookies Cup selection event for 2020 season took place at Guadix between Oct. 15 and Oct 17. After three days of selection event, 11 young riders were selected and welcomed to 2020 Rookies Cup. Among the over 100 riders being considered at Guadix, three are girls - Raquel Ananda Nogueira Vaz from Brazil, Valentina Martinez Trujillo from Colombia, and Aditi Krishnan from India. Unfortunately, none of the three girls ended up among the 11 selected riders. But what do you expect when the odds of being selected is 10 to 1 you start with only 3% of the field being women. We were lucky enough to be able to catch up with Aditi on the Friday after the selection. She was with her family on a mini vacation in Spain piggy backing off of the selection. We were able to learn a bit more about how she got into racing and her experience so far.
