National Champion Yoan Corberand: India's latest sensation in motorsports, Pragathi Gowda made an unprecedented debut at the Rallye des Vallees 2024 by finishing third in the Rally - 5 car class with a timing of 23:51.8.

With this achievement, she became the first Indian rallyist to finish on the podium in her debut race. Her third-place feat was all the more significant, as she raced with male competitors, which also included France's National Champion Yoan Corberand, who finished first in her class.

After three months of rigorous training in Europe, the 26-year-old Pragathi, along with Brazilian co-driver Gabriel Morales, not only blazed to the podium in her category but also finished an impressive 37th overall.
