JENNY Tinmouth is gearing up for a second crack at racing in the British Superbike Championship.
The Chester-born race ace, 33, will return to the country’s premier motorcycle series thanks to the support of new and existing sponsors.
Tinmouth, who created history last year when she became the first woman to ride in Superbikes, said: “Racing Superbikes at this level requires a committed title sponsor, for this reason I am really pleased to have the continued support of sorrymate.com, who have partnered me since 2008, to share the title sponsorship with new sponsors Hardinge Machine Tools.
“It is fantastic to have Hardinge on board and we feel we have teamed up with an organisation that has a great pedigree in engineering as well as a full understanding of how a motorsport team works, having been involved in sponsoring motorsport for many years.
“It is going to be a busy season so it is great we approach it knowing we are well supported. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Tinmouth will compete for the new Two Wheel Racing team launched by the Two Wheel Workshop and its commercial partners.
Isle of Man TT female lap record holder Tinmouth, who works as a mechanic at the Ellesmere Port-based workshop, has spent the winter months preparing her new Superbike Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade for next month’s season opener at Brands Hatch. Tinmouth will also return to the Isle of Man for this year’s TT.
The 2012 season at Oulton Park gets under way on Saturday with a spectacular festival of historic racing, featuring classic cars spanning the circuit’s six decades.
Tickets for the Masters Festival are available on the gate priced £16. Children under 12 go free.
