MC had better get the big book of racing excuses ready

Post by Demannu »

Former Guinness World Record holder for being the fastest woman to lap the Isle of Man TT ( thought I'd just drop that in) attempt at being fastest female 3 wheeler has hit a bit a snag as there seems to be a proper female sidecar nutter there, who could easily see a top 10 finish!
I read an article where MC thought that 110 was easily achievable, perhaps she meant top speed!

Why? Bit of a pointless statement if you ask me. At least she’s out there competing, better than sitting on a forum doing fuck all and spouting pish.

MC is a lovely woman, and she's done FAR more than 99.999999% of other motorcyclists have done over the years. To even be at the TT, let alone competitive is one hell of an achievement. Good luck to all the competitors this year, and RIP to Mark Purslow.

She's still pretty new at the sidecar game and the m/cycle skills don't directly transfer over. I for one will still very much be rooting for her and hopefully bump into her at the FOS again this year.

Good interview with her on the Jamie Witham (sp) RST series on YouTube
