This weekend, the Shell Autox and Autox Plus Championship showcased a heartwarming family affair at the WRC SSS Racetrack. The mother-son team of Safina Khan and Ahil Khan took part in the event, with their partnership drawing admiration from spectators.
Ahil, the younger member of the duo, had a unique experience as he drove a brand new car that he acquired just a day before the competition, having had no prior test drive. Despite the lack of seat time, Ahil demonstrated maturity and competitiveness, proving his skills behind the wheel.
The team was primarily composed of Safina, who piloted an N12 machine, and Ahil, who drove an ex-Zameer Verjee N10. Team Principal Adil Khan, a devoted Subaru enthusiast, oversaw all team operations and continued to foster the Subaru spirit within the crew. Adil Khan humorously remarked, "Born with Subaru, die with Subaru," highlighting his family's deep connection to the brand.
Despite the diverse machinery and varying levels of experience among the team members, the family showed great camaraderie. Safina and Ahil shared notes and encouraged each other as they navigated the dusty and technical course.
