Motorsport is my passion. Ever since I was a kid I have been into cars and racing. I am related to Sri Lanka’s oldest veteran racing driver, the Late Mr. Ananda De Alwis. I loved to tag along with dad for the races even as a kid. My racing career began with Karting, and I’ve taken part in several national races and endurances. I have also been a part of the First Ladies Team to run a 6hr Karting endurance race in Sri Lanka. My next exciting advancement in my racing career is to compete in international soil in extreme off roading (4x4) challenges.
