BMW | Deferral

A Brand Film produced for BMW about Aurora Straus for International Women's Day. Aurora Straus began racing cars at the age of 13, making her the only teenage female sports car racer in North America. Her ambitions have never been limited to the race track. Also a musician and hard-working student, Aurora graduated high school cum laude and was accepted to Harvard
University. She deferred the offer and went on to train and race in
the Pirelli World Challenge — one of its youngest competitors
in history. Today Aurora has taken up Harvard’s offer and studies, all while she continues to race around the world.
