Despite her achievements, Mikayla's journey has been challenging, facing difficulties in finding suitable training locations and high costs associated with practicing on main circuits. "One of Mikayla's biggest challenges before was finding a place to train. The cost of training on the main circuit was also quite high, and that situation was a bit of a hindrance for her to get enough training time," Nik Azma explained. Support from APDcrew Circuit has now provided a dedicated training space, significantly aiding her preparation.
The M8 Racing Team also expressed gratitude to the Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporation (MBI) for financial assistance and to Terengganuku Comey and the Terengganu state government for sponsoring Team 4 Racing's development programs and race participation in Malaysia. Mikayla also receives guidance from Azlan, also known as.
