Long-time TVS Racing factory rider Aishwarya Pissay has successfully won the National Rally Championship for the 5th time. By conquering the windmill farm stages of Kethanur, Tamil Nadu, Aishwarya Pissay secured her 8th overall Nation crown.

Career History and Future 

During the Rally of Coimbatore, Aishwarya achieved her victory in all 4 stages and acquired a commanding lead. With 25 points in the bag, the 2019 World Cup Baja winner has achieved a total of 125 points. Aishwarya has also won 5 previous rallies and continues to defend her 5th INRC two-wheeler championship title. Sadly, the rider suffered an accident during the 2nd round of the World Cup title, conducted at Jordan in early 2021.

Aishwarya has to undergo surgeries for both her wrists but successfully came back into the competition after her rehab. Since the accident, Aishwarya has been unstoppable and has not lost a single race in the National Championship.

Winning in Bengaluru, Puttur, Chikkamagaluru, and Coimbatore, Aishwarya secured her lead by achieving 125 points in the Ladies Championship.
