In a world-first event, bikesportnews.com and ThundersportGB have brought together the cream of Britain’s female racing talent in one place for a double header at Brands over the May 31 weekend. European Women’s Championship front runner Susie Grayson, R6 Cup (Austria) racer Deb Cartwright and Supersport Cup competitor Jenny Tinmouth are among the entries for this fantastic, never-seen-before race. Add to that the best female club racers in Britain and you have a hell of a field all in one place.
During the first round of the European Championship Road Racing Women’s 1000cc held at Misano Adriatico (Italy) last weekend, Nina Prinz (Team Yamaha Motor Germany) debuted on the R1 and took it to an impressive victory. The reigning European champion, from Mannheim/Leutkirch in Germany, had been consistently fast during all qualifying sessions and dominated throughout the weekend, even during qualifying where she competed against many men from the open class.
