The likes of Danica Patrick in the Indy 500s showcases the fact that women are carving out a name for themselves in the world of motorsports.

Even two-wheel competitions have their own set of super heroins like Simona Zacardi, and the latest two-wheel damsel Ana Carrasco, but the fairer sex has always been a small part of the generally male-dominated world of motorcycle racing for quite some time. Thus, the decision to establish a formal national championship exclusively for women was but obvious to cater to the talent in women racers. With this spirit, Thundersport, UK, have announced the first ever ‘National Women’s Championships’ in Britan for 2013.

Speaking to the media, Thundersport boss, Dave Stewart has said, “There are more females racing bike in this country than you might actually think and they all pit their wits on equal terms against their male counterparts in championships across the UK, albeit their numbers are somewhat scattered. Don’t think for a moment these girls are in any way uncompetitive, their effort, grit and determination is so great, they race these intercontinental ballistic missiles faster than most men could even dream of.”

The National Women’s Champoinships will be sponsored by Buff, and will allow competitors to gain points in whichever championship they choose to race in at Thundersport GB including Aprilia Superteens, Aprilia RRV450GP, Supertwins, Thundersport 500, Formula & Superstock 600’s an even the GP1class. However, the question is, is there a need to create a separate championship or can women compete with their male counterparts in the same races, as they do in so many other sporting events?

Honda Motor Europe recently reavealed their All-Star TT Legends team who will be taking part in the upcoming 2013 Isle of Man TT race.

Spearheading the team will be none other than 19 time TT winner John McGuinness along with Michael Dunlop and Michael Rutter. Between them this three member All-Star team have won an insane 24 TT race victories. The Honda All Star team was unveiled at the ‘Motorcycle Live’ event on Sunday as McGuinness, Rutter and Dunlop took center stage along with TT commentator James Whitham.

The cherry on the cake has to be the fact that this All-Star team will also take part in the North West 200 event as well. Australian rider Cameron Donald and 2011 TT newcomer Simon Andrews will join the TT Legends team for the four-round Endurance World Championship. McGuinness and Rutter will also be completing in the four-man EWC rider line-up.

Speaking at the event, All-Star team manager Neil Tuxworth said, “We’re very pleased to have a really strong team both for World Endurance and the road races this year. Looking at the road racing, we’ve haven’t run a three-man squad for a number of years now. It’s quite significant that not only are we running three riders but we are bringing Michael Dunlop in as one of those three. He’s a young rider that already has three TT wins under his belt and we feel that he is the future of road racing. With Dunlop, McGuinness and Rutter – who of course have both been very successful on the roads – we have a very strong line-up for 2013.”

With such a phenomenal line-up this dream team is surely the one to watch out for at the 2013 Isle of Man and the 2013 North West 200 events.
