On episode 214 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we talk with one of the SCCA’s newest drivers and she is a trailblazer. Arshia Akhtar, born in Pakistan and grew up in Saudi Arabia, it's believed Arshia is the first female Pakistani race car driver. We talk about becoming a race car driver from a part of the world where, until recently, women couldn’t even drive. She fills us in on her journey starting out in racing and with the SCCA, and how the club works hard to give new members the full club experience. We also talk about the amazing work she does off track… and how it relates to my mom. You can’t help but like Arshia’s spirit and drive to be successful.
