I am Lani Zena Fernandez

Fastest Rider Indian Bike - Female

As a young aspiring racer, I encountered my fair share of challenges, but each one only fueled my passion further. My journey began at the age of 5 when I first got into a go-kart and felt the thrill of racing. By 6, I won an internal team championship, and although financial constraints temporarily held me back, my love for racing never wavered. I knew deep down that one day, I’d be back on the track—and I made it happen.

I was born and raised in Pondicherry, where I went to Cluny for school. I then moved to Bangalore for college and later earned my Master’s in Psychology from Pondicherry University.

Along the way, I also pursued courses in Sports Psychology in Bangalore and Racing Psychology from Camino Coaching, UK. Outside of racing, I find joy in painting, doodling, and boxing. Coming from a humble background, I’ve learned the value of hard work, earning opportunities, and creating my own path with a positive mindset.

My goal is to become the best woman motorcycle racer, and racing has given me the freedom to spread my wings and chart my own course. Every step of this journey has been full of learning and growth. While there’s still a long road ahead, I’m excited about the endless possibilities and the achievements yet to come.

The finish line is still far, but I’m positive that with each lap, I’m getting closer.
