When did you start racing and what was your motivation?<\/h3>\n<p>The first time I sat behind the wheel, a wave of passion for driving took me over. At the age of 13, I started with Auto-cross racing. Since I had the enthusiasm and had been Go-karting since a very young age, I wanted to try Auto-cross which later changed into my passion. My ideals are Suresh Rana, a top racer, and my mom Bani Yadav.<\/p>\n<h3>2.) Would you like to describe your first race to me?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To take part in a race under the age\u00a0of\u00a018 ( I had started at 13 ), you need merely your parents consent to race and I already had that since my dad was supporting me. I was nervous since it was my first race and I had no clue about what to do. But, after s<span style=\"line-height: inherit\">eeing the track and feeling the wheel under my hands, I thought to myself &#8220;Let&#8217;s kill this&#8221;. I toppled my car. After that, a senior racer sat with me and guided me, it wasn&#8217;t allowed but since I was the youngest and it was my first race, they allowed it for a lap. Despite all of this, I came third. It was a moment ecstasy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3.) Which was your best race?<\/h3>\n<p>Maruti Suzuki Auto-cross, Noida. It was a Tarmac track race which is pretty tricky, you have to go about cones and there are various penalties. <strong>I won the &#8216;fastest amateur&#8217; and &#8216;youngest contestant&#8217; awards in this race.<\/strong> It was one of the proudest a moments of my life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">ALSO READ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/shubham-jaglan-golfer-champion-world-record-holder-ss-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shubham Jaglan- The Indian Golf Prodigy | 13 Year Old Milkman\u2019s Son Sets A World Record<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4.) What was your\u00a0parents reaction to it?<\/h3>\n<p>My mom was already in the sport. In the first race, my dad was there and I had toppled the car. The car was completely broken. My mom had an intuition that I had been racing but my dad took the fall for me just so that my mom does not come to know and my racing career is not hindered. After about 2-3 years later and after winning a lot of races, my dad and I came clean to my mom about my racing. She was shocked but at the same time, she was happy for me.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_367650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-367650\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"367650\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/arjun-rao-auto-cross-racer-wheeling-sports-interview-ss\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?fit=1280%2C890&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,890\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;RALLY RACING IS HIS PASSION&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?fit=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?fit=1024%2C712&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-367650\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?resize=1024%2C712&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ARJUN RAO RALLY RACER INDIA ADVENTURE INTERVIEW SS\" width=\"1024\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?resize=1024%2C712&#038;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?resize=1024%2C712&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?resize=1024%2C712&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/17000153\/da0a876b-c189-4063-b336-f94db0c99f74.jpg?resize=1024%2C712&#038;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-367650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RALLY RACING IS HIS PASSION<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>\u00a05.)
