  • Lalita was part of the Girl Gang Garage Volvo PV544 hybrid build that debuted at SEMA in 2022, focusing on reshaping and refitting the dashboard.
  • She brought readers into the strides and struggles of the debuting GTP class as part of the IMSA Weathertech series in 2023.
  • She published a love letter to the Shelby GT500, that a reader later framed. This opportunity led her to putting Ford's Mustang Dark Horse through its paces at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Experience

Forged in the Motor City, and possibly running motor oil instead of blood through her veins, Lalita has been in and around the automotive world since her first day here on Earth. For more than a decade, she's contributed to various automotive and motorsport brands, including Jalopnik, Road & Track, RideApart, Porsche Club of America's Club Racer and Panorama magazines, Racewknd, RM Sotheby's, and Motorsport. As an automotive journalist, she enjoys writing everything from how-tos and failing project cars, to in-depth interviews and reporting on her favorite drivers and series.
