Salva Marjan, a young woman from rural Kozhikode, Kerala, is all set to shatter barriers as the first female F1 racer from her state.
Salva, who was born on July 24, 1999, in Perambra, conquered financial obstacles and social criticism to follow her ambition of racing. She graduated from Business Management and began her professional motorsports career in 2018. With her family’s steadfast support, she overcame challenges to begin her career in Formula LGB racing, later competing in the F4 UAE and Indian championships, completing 119 of 150 laps.
With aspirations of creating history on a global scale, Salva, who will be 25 years old in January 2025, is ready to attend the F1 Academy. She is unfazed by the fact that women encounter distinct physical obstacles in the traditionally male-dominated sport. Despite setbacks, her enthusiasm for racing keeps her going.
As a current brand ambassador for Next Level Racing, Salva receives financial support for her training expenditures. She hopes to one day compete for India in Formula One and serve as an example to female athletes everywhere.
