Hero MotoSports Team Rally has been hard at work for the past few years, seeding motorsport culture in India. After winning significant laurels at the Dakar these past few years, it’s expanding its team with three new young riders signing a contract to don the factory colours, including its first female rally pilot.

Tanika Shanbhag, a 20-year-old racer from Satara, Maharashtra, joins Hero’s Rally team along with 23-year-old Karan Kumar and 22-year-old Arun T from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively. All three racers have considerable experience under their belts and have had some success in the 260cc class (Group-B,-D) just like their seniors, Sathyaraj and Yuva Kumar.
